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)

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.

BENEFIT – 33. obletnica AKC Metelkova mesto

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

Snojke (SI)

Projekt ljubljanskega spalničnega glasbenika Matije Snoja je svojo pot začel na SoundCloudu, kjer se je občinstvu lani predstavil z zasanjanimi skladbami, katerih leitmotiv je ujetost v različnih odtenkih – od prebolevanja srčnih ran in slepih ulic flirtanja do težje opredeljivih notranjih stanj, v katerih se človek spotika ob samega sebe. Njihovo melanholijo pa nosijo nežni vokali, ki se prepletajo s harmonijami spremljevalnih glasov njegovih backvokalistk.

morvern (SI)

Trboveljski rockerji morvern so si v letih delovanja izoblikovali že prepoznaven izraz, s katerim dosledno puščajo močan pečat na ljubljanski indie sceni. Zasedba, ki je sprva nastala okoli lo-fi kantavtorskih zamisli Jana Cizeja, danes skupaj z Jayem na basu in Miho na bobnih stopnjuje energijo v glasen, razmazan in precej bolj neukrotljiv zvok, prežet z osebnim pečatom vsakega od njih.

Nekoč zasidrani v halucinatornem bedroom popu, so Morvern skozi čas postali glasnejši in bolj divji – danes so čisti garažni rock, ki svojo pravo moč dokazuje na odru, tako po Sloveniji kot širše po Balkanu.

Mrk (SI)

Zasedba Mrk svojo glasbo gradi na kontrastih – tam, kjer se svetloba sreča s temo in iz njunega trka nastane dinamični zvočni nemir, ki popolnoma opraviči ime projekta.

Kot kozmični mrk, kjer se planeti prelijejo skozi sence in za hip prekrijejo drug drugega, tudi zasedba svojo moč črpa iz te napetosti. Trobenta in saksofon prinašata svetlobo in jasnost, ki osvetljujeta močno, prodorno ritmično jedro, klaviature in efekti pa prostoru dodajajo globino in atmosfero.

Pod taktirko slovenskega bobnarja in skladatelja Gaja Bostiča skupina združuje uveljavljene glasbenike iz Dunaja, Ljubljane in Basla v projekt, ki je zrasel v okviru programa Mladi raziskovalci (.abeceda), in že navdušil na Jazz festivalu Ljubljana, Klubskem maratonu in festivalu MENT. Ob izidu debitantskega albuma se MRK zdaj podaja na mednarodno koncertno turnejo po Evropi in s tem odpira vrata v svoj hipnotični zvočni svet.
