INTIMATE: HANA FATUR (SI)

The second July evening of the Intimno series belongs to Hana Fatur, one of the most exciting emerging singer-songwriters, currently building her musical journey between Ljubljana and Rotterdam.

Her songs inhabit sleepless nights, quiet thoughts, and the feelings we usually keep to ourselves. With a delicate voice and an instinctive sense for atmosphere, Hana creates melancholic indie pop landscapes where loneliness, longing, and the beauty of life’s smallest moments quietly intertwine. Critics have drawn comparisons to Phoebe Bridgers, while audiences are most captivated by her ability to build an entire world from just a handful of carefully chosen elements.

Following her victory at Grote Prijs van Rotterdam, receiving the De Belofte award at the Rotterdam Music Awards, appearances at MENT Ljubljana, and tours across Europe and the UK, Hana was also nominated this year for the Zlata piščal award in the Newcomer of the Year category. She is currently completing her debut album, following the release of the singles Satellite, Follow South and Somnus.

Hana Fatur doesn’t need volume to command a room. A few notes, a few honest words, and the audience falls completely silent. Dutch music press has described her performances as moments in which the venue transforms into a shared dreamscape, where listeners briefly forget everything beyond its walls.

Intimno is a series of acoustic and singer-songwriter concerts in the Summer Garden, where for a few hours we step away from the noise of the world, sit close to the stage, and simply listen a little more carefully.

Music policy: Indie Folk / Dream Pop / Singer-Songwriter / Ambient

Tickets: €10 via mojekarte.si

ZLATI GOL GALA BANQUET

A MAROK
BEN LOUKO
IP MAN
DJ SESH MONSTER
DVS
SIMBA
TLR8
ŽENSKA KVOTA
+ Secret Guest (TBA)

After last year’s Gala Banquet drew a massive crowd to Gala Hala and left behind a trail of stories that kept circulating around the city for weeks, Zlati gol returns this year even bolder, brighter, and more unpredictable. On the first Saturday of August, we once again take over Gala Hala, transforming it into a palace of excess, celebration, and dance for one unforgettable night.

The evening begins at 8 PM in the Summer Garden with a carefully curated selection by the Banketmantel Selectors, accompanied by generous snacks, full glasses, and the laid-back atmosphere of a warm summer evening under the open sky. The festivities will also be broadcast live on Radio Študent, carrying the spirit of the night far beyond the borders of Metelkova. When midnight strikes, we move inside Gala Hala—and happily lose all contact with reality.

The Zlati gol crew—comfortably the country’s worst radio show—invites friends, familiar faces, loyal party companions, and curious newcomers alike to celebrate another season of golden moments together. Every year, the Gala Banquet brings together an eclectic mix of dancers, spectators, comedians, influencers, and incurable late-night conversationalists, remaining the kind of place where small people come up with big ideas.

Long ago, the Zlati Gol Gala Banquet outgrew the idea of being just another party—it became a tradition. Every year, it’s not only the BPM that rise, but also the ambition to create a night people keep talking about long after the lights come on. Those who show up become part of the story. Those who don’t will almost certainly hear about it.

In case of rain, the Gala Banquet will move indoors without hesitation, transforming into an explosive club night starting at 10 PM.

Music policy: UK Garage / UK Funky / Baile Funk / Gqom / Amapiano / Afrobeats / Dancehall / Rap / Jersey Club / Baltimore Club (…)

Admission: €8 before 10 PM / €12 later

PRIMUS AFTERPARTY

DJ Vlad

Who’s in town? Primus!

Kino Šiška pulled off one of the bookings of the year. We’ll be doing what any devoted fans would do—throwing the afterparty.

Why? Because we’re massive Primus fans.

Why else? Because it’s summer.

And why else? Because we want to dance.

Expect a night packed with the finest alternative anthems, oddball classics, and glorious ’90s madness inspired by one of the most original bands to ever walk this earth.

Music policy: All the Best of ’90s Madness & Beyond

Admission: Free with a Primus concert ticket / €5 for everyone else

KARABRUKE

Hosted by: Angel Pornstar

Karabruke returns with its summer edition—and the Summer Garden is open!

Or, as many simply know it: the busiest karaoke night in Ljubljana.

This August edition is dedicated to the songs that instantly transport you back to graduation trips, carefree summer holidays, and unforgettable nights with friends. Let the soundtrack of summer echo across Metelkova as we celebrate the hottest hits of the season.

Doors open at 10 PM, with sign-ups for the first performers starting immediately. The karaoke kicks off at 11 PM, and from then on we’ll be singing well into the night.

This time, the Gala Hala crew is giving away two tickets to any Gala Hala concert—even a sold-out one—for the night’s most outstanding vocal performance, plus one consolation ticket for the best performance, the greatest act of courage, or the most spectacular karaoke disaster.

Everyone is welcome, but especially those whose greatest concerts usually happen in the shower. We’ll be judging not only your voice, but also your stage presence, charisma, and overall performance.

Sound engineer Klemen, host Angel Pornstar, and the entire Gala Hala crew can’t wait to see you on stage.

Music policy: Karaoke & Alternative Hits

Admission: €5 before 11 PM / €8 later
