NE ZASTOP’M – An Evening of Contemporary Poetry & Sound

+ Late-Night Book & Record Fair

Hosted by: RDEČA RAKETA

EVA ŠUBIC & KIKIRIKI
Poetry of darkness and sleepless nights meets experimental noise.

URŠA MAJCEN & KARMEN PONIKVAR
Poetry of beasts accompanied by experimental sound.

IRIS VINSKI & RAKETA
Poetry that refuses to fit the mould, intertwined with electronic music.

Featuring publishers:

• KAPA RECORDS
• ČRNA SKRINJICA
• STRIPBURGER
• VIZIBILIJA – Škuc
• LAMBDA – Škuc
• ALEPH (Centre for Slovenian Literature)

A meeting point between two art forms—poetry and sound. An exploration of dialogue, of building a shared language.

Six artists: three poets and three musicians. Three performances. Twenty minutes each.

Expect immersion, delirium, addictive words and beats, dark atmospheres, and fearless experimentation. Perhaps, by the end of the evening, you’ll turn to your friend and say:

“Hey… I actually get it.”

And they’ll reply:

“Yeah. I get it too.”

Then the two of you will leave one of the city’s most beautiful summer gardens, each carrying a new book under your arm.

Music policy: Poetry / Noise / Experimental / Techno

Admission: €7 (includes a €5 discount on a selected book from Črna skrinjica publishing)

TRAMHAUS (NL)

Over the past two years, Tramhaus have become one of the most talked-about new bands in Europe. The Rotterdam five-piece delivers an explosive blend of nervous post-punk energy, shoegaze haze, raw punk urgency, and, above all, a magnetic live presence.

Following their acclaimed performance at MENT Ljubljana 2024, Tramhaus return to the city as one of the hottest guitar bands on the European circuit. Their debut album, The First Exit (2024), sent Dutch critics into unanimous rapture, earning top scores from de Volkskrant, NRC, and Trouw, while a sold-out show at Amsterdam’s legendary Paradiso firmly cemented their rising status.

But Tramhaus are at their absolute best on stage. Their live shows are chaotic, passionate, unpredictable, and irresistibly euphoric—exactly the kind of concert that leaves you grinning long after the last note has faded.

We’ll catch them fresh off the legendary TAM TAM Festival on the Croatian island of Hvar, right in the middle of the summer touring season.

Join us for a healthy dose of uncompromising Rotterdam swagger.

Music policy: Post-Punk / Shoegaze / New Wave / Indie Rock

Tickets: €12 presale on mojekarte.si, / €15 on the day of the concert

PUTAN CLUB (FR/IT)

+ DJ Vlad

Putan Club is a musical laboratory with no instruction manual.

Avant-garde, techno, industrial, ethnomusicology, jazz, noise, metal, performance art, political protest, and dancefloor trance collide until they become something entirely their own—wild, organic, and uncompromising.

They make no secret of where they stand. Against fascism, racism, sexism, homophobia, capitalist greed, religious fundamentalism, and every form of exclusion. For solidarity, self-organisation, autonomy, feminism, community, empathy, and resistance.

For Putan Club, politics isn’t branding. It’s daily practice.

Vocalist, bassist, and performer Gianna and guitarist, producer, and composer François spend more time on the road than at home. Renowned for their ferocious live performances, they erase the boundaries between noise rock, industrial, techno, avant-garde music, ethnomusicology, free jazz, punk, and improvisation. Rather than belonging to any one genre, Putan Club embraces constant mutation—every album, tour, and collaboration becoming a new exploration of sound, political engagement, and collective experience.

Putan Club has never been just a band. It is a platform where music, activism, performance, and community meet. Deliberately independent, they continue to operate entirely outside the traditional music industry.

We’ve been in love with their uncompromising spirit ever since their first appearance at Gala Hala. Their ability to combine beauty with noise, political conviction without slogans, and activism without posing has made them more than recurring guests—they’ve become friends, and artists whose unwavering dedication to both music and people continues to inspire us.

If you’re looking for a safe night quietly sipping drinks at the bar, this probably isn’t it.

But if you still believe that music can move more than just bodies—that it can move the world—then we’ll see you in front of the stage.

Music policy: Industrial Resistance / Techno Tribalism / Noise Against Apathy

Tickets: €10 via mojekarte.si

DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

TORULSSON

Summer rolls on, and with it comes another hot July night dedicated to alternative classics, timeless dancefloor favourites, and, of course, a healthy dose of guilty pleasures.

Between the noisy gigs and intimate concerts filling the Summer Garden, it’s only right to set aside one evening for dancing to songs everyone knows by heart. Join us on Gala Hala’s dancefloor, where Torulsson will be raising the temperature while we promise not to interrupt your hydration breaks with commercials.

The evening also serves as the perfect warm-up for everyone excited about the upcoming Gorillaz European tour—and as a consolation prize for those who won’t get the chance to catch them live. Their music will form the beating heart of the night.

Born during the golden era of MTV and the age of boy bands, Gorillaz began as Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s response to what they saw as a wave of increasingly generic pop acts. Their solution? Invent a virtual band with far more personality, creativity, and substance. It turned out to be exactly what the music world had been missing.

The fictional band members—and the people behind them—won’t be joining us in person, but there will be plenty of great music, summer vibes, disco lights, and the kind of nostalgia that only the soundtrack of our collective youth can deliver.

Music policy: Alternative Hits from Every Decade + Gorillaz

Admission: €5 before 11 PM / €8 later

¡CALIENTE!

RAKETA
RIBERO
IKA
ANDYBLACKHOLE

¡Caliente! marks the launch of a brand-new series of the hottest nights in Metelkova’s officially unofficial high-risk zone.

On July 21, Gala Hala’s Summer Garden will be taken over by a crew of selectors serving up blazing sets packed with Latin American dancefloor bombs, guaranteed to leave you sweaty, thirsty, and asking for one more track.

Meanwhile, Brazilian cocktail wizard Pedro will be mixing a one-of-a-kind, patent-worthy drink available only to those who know the secret password:

“Boa noite.” (Pronounced: “BO-ah NOY-chee.”)

On the decks

Raketa
A ghetto and bass music enthusiast with a particular love for dub. Her sets are sensual, hypnotic, and deeply rooted in the joy of dancing—sometimes so much so that even she struggles to keep up.

ribero
Approaching club culture with the philosophy that everyone—DJ and crowd alike—should simply have the best possible time. Inspired by everything that crawls, slithers, hops, or wriggles, ribero thrives on unpredictable rhythms, easy-going dancefloors, and spontaneous adventures.

ika
Jumping effortlessly between trap, hip hop, salsa, merengue, and eurodance, ika builds colourful, chaotic, and slightly nostalgic sets shaped somewhere between the apartment blocks of New Belgrade and the parties of Radio Študent.

andyblackhole
By day, a music journalist and composer. After midnight, a rare seasonal DJ appearance featuring a delightfully chaotic blend of cumbia, amapiano, samba, bass music, and whatever else feels right in the moment.

Music policy: Latin / Samba / Salsa / Electronic / Eurodance / Merengue / Hip Hop / Trap / Bass

Admission: 5€

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