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.

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.

RAPETEK EXTRA:

LA COKA NOSTRA (ZDA)

+ DJ White AF

Around the 20th anniversary of their more serious activity as a group, American rap supergroup La Coka Nostra are finally making their first-ever appearance in both Ljubljana and Slovenia.

The current line-up features Danny Boy, former member of the legendary House of Pain, alongside Ill Bill and DJ Eclipse (both of cult New York outfit Non Phixion), and Slaine.

The story goes back even further. In 2004, La Coka Nostra began as a loose collective gathered around Danny Boy. Following the breakup of House of Pain, he devoted his time to various projects and, while in Boston, met Slaine. Together with DJ Lethal, they recorded a number of tracks, gradually expanding the project as friends and collaborators from House of Pain, Psycho Realm, Special Teamz, and beyond drifted in and out of the studio.

By 2006, the group’s core line-up had finally taken shape. Their debut album, A Brand You Can Trust, was eventually released in 2009 after years of delays—partly because Danny Boy insisted the record be created together in the studio rather than pieced together over email. The wait proved worthwhile. The album became a landmark of underground hip hop, featuring heavyweight guests including Snoop Dogg, Bun B, B-Real, and Immortal Technique.

Over the following years, the group released two more acclaimed albums: Masters of the Dark Arts (2012), featuring the devastating DJ Premier-produced single “Mind Your Business,” and To Thine Own Self Be True (2016), another powerful record built around an outstanding roster of guest artists and producers.

La Coka Nostra were never conceived as a conventional rap supergroup assembled to headline festivals. Instead, they grew organically from decades-long friendships between the Boston and New York underground hip-hop scenes. Their music is built on beats as hard as concrete and uncompromising street storytelling delivered without censorship, fuelled by political paranoia, black humour, and raw intensity.

On stage, La Coka Nostra don’t trade on nostalgia—they deliver a live show of relentless energy and uncompromising force.

Music policy: Hip Hop

Admission: €25 early bird (Big Nose Shop and Gala Hala during events; limited quantity), €28 presale (mojekarte.si and official outlets), €33 on the day of the concert

PATETICO (SI)

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.
