MASHARIK

In case of bad weather, tickets remain valid for the alternative date: 9 September 2026.

Over the past few years, Masharikhave gone from being a band you had to recommend to a band people recommend themselves. No grand gestures, no unnecessary volume—just great songs, a distinctive sound, and concerts that leave you with the feeling that you witnessed something truly special.

After almost a year away from the stage, they return to Ljubljana for a show at the Gala Hala Summer Garden.

Masharik’s music works on several levels at once. Understated yet infectious. Intimate, yet spacious and rhythmic enough to fill the entire room. Their sound brings together instrumental precision, vocal harmonies, and a strong sense of dynamics that allows each song to breathe as a complete experience.

But Masharik’s greatest strength remains their live performance. That is where their music gains another dimension—not through spectacle or grandiosity, but through authenticity. As a band, they are exceptionally connected, and it is precisely this chemistry that creates the effortless feeling of a group fully in tune with itself, confirming Masharik as one of the most refined Slovenian live acts today.

After a longer break, this will be one of the rare opportunities to catch them again in Ljubljana. And knowing the pace of summer and how quickly things tend to happen—don’t expect tickets to wait around for too long.

See you there.

Zhivotni (MK)

+ after

The animals of the Balkan Spring, delivering a French kiss of pop, rock, folk and jazz.

Zhivotni – “Animals” in Macedonian – were born out of the Balkan Spring, ready to sing about it and reveal at least part of its story. Against genocide, global apartheid, and the toxic, rotten political parties in their country and beyond. We are all animals longing for home. Longing not to have to leave.

Their 2025 debut album На Балкан, сам (On the Balkans, Alone), released by underground powerhouse Mrtov konj, is the best album of 2025 you’ve probably never heard of, and Zhivotni are the best supergroup you don’t know yet. As they put it themselves, their songs grow only from love, and nothing but love. Their language of pop, rock, folk and jazz is gentle enough to lure you in with an ecstatic French kiss, only to transform into a blade that cuts deep and performs an emotional autopsy of life’s hardships.

Come to Gala Hala to dance, cry, restore your hope, and take the road without “whataboutism,” as Zhivotni call it. Justice for Kočani, for the students in Serbia, an end to nationalism and fratricide in the Balkans, a free Palestine, and liberation for everyone, everything and every place from the brutal grip of capitalism.

The seven-piece band is led by Martin Djorlev (Lufthansa, Stoj, Posle!) alongside a wandering collective of pioneers: Borjan and Filip (Vagina Corporation), Andrej and Aleks (Stoj, Posle!), Ivo (Lufthansa), and Elena Vasova.

Music policy: pop / jazz / rock / folk / the best album of 2025

Admission: €12 presale, €15 on the day of the concert (mojekarte.si)

In case of rain, the event will take place indoors.

33rd Anniversary of AKC Metelkova mesto

KLEMEN KLEMEN (SI)

+ DJ Esco

To celebrate the 33rd anniversary of Metelkova mesto, Gala Hala welcomes back the Trnovo rascal, ninja shapeshifter, storyteller of street adventures and imaginary horror tales, and master of the microphone— Klemen Klemen!

A firmly established name on the local scene, Klemen Klemen arrives armed with three albums: the best-selling Slovenian rap record of all time, Trnow stajl (2000), its follow-up Hipnoza (2003), and his latest release S3P (2015). Alongside his solo work, he has built an impressive catalogue of collaborations with artists from both the underground and the wider mainstream Slovenian music scene.

As has become tradition in recent years, he returns with the support of a live band, his unmistakable gravelly voice, and an endless supply of Trnovo stories, street legends, and lyrical twists.

Ulette ninje, džija!

Music policy: Trnow Stajl Hip Hop

Admission: €20 presale / €25 on the day of the concert

In case of rain, the event will take place inside the venue.

33rd Anniversary AKC Metelkova mesto: BENEFIT

SNOJKE (SI)
MORVERN (SI)
MRK (SI)

+ after: MSN GF, DJ EVIII

Traditionally, Anniversary Friday invites you to Metelkova for a packed programme and a single admission ticket, with all proceeds going towards infrastructure, security and general self-sufficiency—as much as that is still possible these days.

The evening at Gala Hala’s summer garden will kick off with three acts coming from three very different directions: Snojke, a relatively new, dreamy project by musician Matija Snoj, well worth checking out if you haven’t already; Trbovlje-based rockers morvern, who are far from newcomers to the scene and have, over the years, transformed their sound from bedroom pop into full-blown garage rock; and Mrk, an intriguing ensemble led by Slovenian drummer and composer Gaj Bostič, bringing together established musicians from Vienna, Ljubljana and Basel in a project that grew out of the Mladi raziskovalci (.abeceda) programme.

At midnight, the electronic part of the night kicks off inside. Taking turns behind the decks will be DJ Eviii, a newcomer who isn’t afraid to admit she watched way too much Skins and that Maribor DnB still occasionally breathes down her neck; and msn gf, a Ljubljana-based DJ and producer and member of the Ustanova and Nimaš Izbire collectives. She is regarded as one of the more original DJs of the new generation of Slovenia’s electronic scene, blending current club trends with the legacy of three decades of Slovenian pop in her productions.

Music policy: bedroom pop / garage rock / jazz / progressive rock / electronic

After: techno / house / trap / breakbeat / Brazilian funk / dub / garage / DnB

Admission: €20, single admission ticket valid for all clubs
