The BOOM festival in Novi Sad was held in November 1978. Performances were held by the new wave bands Paraf, Prljavo kazalište, Pekinška patka, Zvuk ulice (the forerunner of Idoli) and Aerodrom. Prljavo kazalište was then considered to be the group that had the greatest potential to break to the top of the music scene, which was confirmed by the release of their first album in 1979, Prljavo kazalište. It was this album that marked the beginning of the new wave. Their first studio album, due to its punk style and heavily social themes, led to a boycott by state media in the socialist society of the time.
