After a longer hiatus, Patetico —Slovenia’s beloved (or unapologetically divisive) masters of melancholy—return to the stage.
Riding the momentum of this year’s warmly received album, Armadilo, the band arrives at the Gala Hala Summer Garden to invite us into a musical world where poetry, jazz, chanson, and contemporary songwriting meet.
Come to think of it, Patetico is quite a bold name for a band. With more than twenty years of writing, recording, and performing behind them, they now sound freer, gentler, and more powerful than ever. Their strength lies in honesty, vulnerability, and the remarkable voice and interpretation of Nika Perunović.
As summer draws to a close, the Gala Hala Summer Garden will become a place for slow listening—for stories, poetry, music… and, inevitably, a little romance.
You’re warmly invited.
Line-up:
Nika Perunović — vocals Arsenije Krstić — piano Tadej Kampl — bass Janez Gabrič — drums
Music policy: Jazz / Chanson / Everything Beautiful
Admission: €15 presale / €20 on the day of the concert
In case of bad weather, the concert will take place indoors.
¡Caliente! is the autumn continuation of the series of the hottest events in Metelkova’s high-risk security zone. Starting out in Gala Hala’s summer garden and continuing under extended protection inside the club, an eclectic lineup of selectors will hit you with scorching sets packed with bangers from the former Non-Aligned Bloc, leaving you sweaty and thirsty.
Our resident Brazilian cocktail master will once again serve up an exceptional, patent-protected concoction, available exclusively with the password “Boa noite”.

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.
Music policy: heavy rock / stoner rock / proto-doom / psychedelic rock / punk
Admission:presale €25, €28 on the day of the concert
