We danced our way through summer—now it’s time for a new season! Right at the start, in our September prime-time slot, we’re getting hit with music from Tarantino’s films. Everything dancefloor-worthy from his soundtracks will find its way onto our dancefloor too. All we need to do is convince Torulssona to step outside his comfort zone.
I love you Pumpkin, I love you Honey Bunny! Idemo!
Music policy: alt hits from all decades + Tarantino
A night of massive riffs, raw energy and contemporary stoner rock is on the way, with a sound that has seen them establish themselves in a remarkably short time as one of the most exciting names on the European scene. With their distinctive blend of weight, melody and unstoppable groove, they promise a full-impact live experience. We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of Norway’s Slomosa, who will be taking over the Gala Hala stage this year.
Hailing from the rugged landscapes of western Norway, Slomosa have quickly established themselves as one of the key forces in contemporary rock with their distinctive Tundra Rock sound. The band consists of Benjamin Berdous (guitar, vocals), Marie Moe (bass, vocals), Tor Erik Bye (guitar) and Jard Hole (drums). Drawing from a wide range of influences, their sound combines the heavy, groove-driven riffs of stoner rock with raw, melodic vocals and thunderous guitars.
Since the release of their self-titled debut in 2020, Slomosa have become synonymous with raw power and electrifying live performances. They’ve conquered major festival stages including Hellfest, Freak Valley and Bergenfest. In July 2023, they released the single Cabin Fever, a hard-hitting introduction to their highly anticipated second album, showcasing their knack for raw storytelling and mighty riffs.
In 2024, Slomosa took their massive sound across the pond, joining Alkaline Trio on their US tour and further cementing their reputation as a global force. In 2025, they returned as direct support for Helmet, continuing their unstoppable march across international stages. This year, they sold out almost every venue on their North American tour.
Both on record and live, Slomosa deliver an intense, uncompromising sonic experience that lingers long after the final chord. With bigger ambitions and a louder sound than ever before, the band are carving out their place as torchbearers of contemporary heavy rock.
Hailing from Bergen, Norway, Kryptograf create a heavy and atmospheric blend of proto-doom, psychedelic rock and ’70s hard rock. Their sound is defined by massive riffs, dark melodies and layered harmonies, drawing on the legacy of bands such as Black Sabbath and Pentagram while reshaping it into a distinctive sound of their own. With three albums under their belt, including their latest, Kryptonomicon (2025), Kryptograf have established themselves as one of the more intriguing acts on Norway’s heavy rock scene.
Athens four-piece Godsleep are returning to the region with an explosive dose of stoner rock and fuzz-drenched psychedelia that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Since their beginnings, they’ve been delivering massive riffs and hypnotic atmospheres charged with raw energy, further amplified by the charismatic vocals of Amie Makris.
Their albums—from the acclaimed Thousand Sons of Sleep (2015), through Coming of Age (2018), to their latest, Lies to Survive (2023)—showcase a band unwilling to compromise and constantly exploring new sonic horizons, bringing together the weight of stoner rock and the raw energy of punk.

After the premiere garden edition, we’re back with a proper club blowout. And with a little more guitar this time — deliberately left out of the first edition in honour of the summer vibe.
If we approached the first edition as a summer stroll through collective memory, this time we’re going deeper and browsing a little more widely through the record shelves. Woo-D, Vlad and Recycleman will each have their own take on digging through the ’90s and ’00s: from pop, hip-hop, electronic music and guilty pleasures to alternative, indie, grunge and guitar-driven tracks that somehow got permanently lodged somewhere in the back of our brains.
Come see how this particular crew experienced the transition from Yugoslavia to Europe, when we were saying goodbye to Ponterossa and recording songs off the radio, while displaying an admirable persistence in falling for all the wrong people.
The Štok-Cola moment will return, because it was a success the first time around. There will be no Belle de Jour liqueur, though — because, sadly, or perhaps fortunately, it’s no longer available.

1000mods(GR): Give Me My Medicine Tour 26 + GRIM RHYTHM (AU)
Opaaaa! Your and our old stoner rock friends 1000mods are coming back to Gala Hala!
Besides being a fantastic band, these guys are simply ridiculously hard-working. Since their last visit to Ljubljana, they’ve played 100+ shows, and, more importantly, released a new album in November 2024: Cheat Death, their fifth to date, which they’ll be bringing to us as well. Co-producing the record was Matt Bayles, who has worked with bands such as Mastodon, Foxing, Isis, Botch and others. If you haven’t listened to it yet, now’s the time. To put it mildly, it was received with enthusiasm.
There’s no doubt they’re still true to their trademark stoner rock sound, cruising through the desert and surrendering to psychedelia—but, as they put it themselves, this is their “heaviest and most intense album to date.” Heavier and faster rhythms are in the mix, along with some serious metal and punk influences.
And then there’s the album title, Cheat Death, and lyrics suggesting that even in the midst of all this chaos and adversity, it’s possible to find your purpose—and maybe even a reason to smile. In short, the guys have figured out the recipe for cheating death. The instructions are on the record; the secret ingredients, however, can only be obtained live at the show.
As support, Australian Grim Rhythm will be taking the stage. They’re coming to us as an instrumental trio, just as they were when they started out, despite briefly operating as a four-piece with vocals along the way. After nine years, they’ve released a new album, Forever Eating Shit, so relentless that it can be compared to lightning striking a tree and stretching all the way up into the sky.
Highly recommended for anyone who likes to wake up to heavy, dirty riffs instead of coffee, along with chaos (surprisingly somehow under control), drum interludes and, above all, instruments going absolutely berserk.
