JOŠ GORI

“Još Gori are already well beyond the boundaries of the regional music scene — or perhaps it would be more accurate to say: above it.”
Zoran Stajčić, Ravno do dna

“It’s difficult to compare Još Gori to Goribor, but it’s a comparison that almost makes itself, so I’ll dare to say in the end: Još Gori are even better.”
Boris Abramović, Music Box

Following sold-out shows in Novi Sad, Belgrade, Zagreb and Škofja Loka, one of the most talked-about new bands from the region is coming to Ljubljana for the first time — Još Gori.

The band was born at the intersection of uncompromising poetic force and bold musical experimentation. Their sound is a powerful blend of hypnotic, dark atmospheres and raw, deeply felt lyricism. Behind the band are three well-known figures from the independent music scene. At the forefront is Aleksandar Stojković – ST, legendary frontman and driving force behind the cult band Goribor, whose dark poetic vision is once again hypnotising audiences. Building sonic landscapes around his unmistakable voice and lyrics are brothers Alen and Nenad Sinkauz — acclaimed musicians, composers, instrumentalists and producers known for their fearless exploration of sound and award-winning film scores. We also remember them well at Gala Hala as members of the unforgettable East Rodeo.

Još Gori will take the stage at Gala Hala for the first time in front of a Ljubljana audience, presenting their debut album Raj na zemlji.

LION’S LAW (FR)

MESS (MEX)

BREAKOUT (FR)

Punkrockers, save the date! A fast and furious night is coming your way, tailor-made for anyone who lives for a little unconventional exercise and singing along with the bands from the front row. At the end of November, the walls and stage of Gala Hala will once again be shaking to the sound of fast, loud rhythms brought to us by three representatives of the punk rock scene.

Lion’s Law are considered one of the strongest names on the contemporary Oi! and street punk scene. With their distinctive mix of anthemic choruses, raw energy and relentless live performances, they’ve conquered stages around the world and played some of the biggest punk and Oi! festivals out there. Their sound combines the traditions of street punk with modern production and undeniable stage charisma.

Hailing from Guadalajara, MESS have become one of the hottest names on the international Oi! and street punk scene in recent years. Drawing inspiration from classic Oi! and UK82 punk, they turn it all into raw, melodic and ridiculously infectious street anthems. With releases on Pirates Press Records and shows across Europe and the Americas under their belt, they’ve built a reputation as a band you absolutely need to experience live.

Breakout have been spreading chaos and the energy of the French punk scene since 2010. Their aggressive and uncompromising sound draws heavily from UK82 classics as well as bands like The Casualties and Total Chaos. They’re known for wild shows, unstoppable energy and proper punkrocker performances that always leave the audience thoroughly worked out—and heading home with slightly hoarse voices.

Come shake the dancefloor!

Koncertna akademija:

KORMORANA (SI)
SPEJS NOKSI (RS)
ZUBI (RS)
+ lil ris (SI) & DVS (SI)

The last Friday of November at Gala Hala brings a genre-hopping lineup spanning all kinds of musical territories. This high-energy evening was put together by a crew of young, aspiring concert promoters as part of the Koncertna akademija project.

Kicking things off are Kormorana, a trio of heavy-hitting rockers from the Novo Mesto area. They’ll pass the torch to Serbian duo Zubi, purveyors of a punk-rap hybrid, before Serbian wordsmith Spejs Noksi closes out the live programme with his razor-sharp tongue. And, as any lively Friday night should, the evening will continue with a DJ set by familiar dancefloor selectors lil ris and DVS.

Kormorana have been making music together for over a decade. This year, nine years after Uri, they returned with their second full-length album, Leto. Recorded live in the studio, its nine tracks showcase what the band calls “heavy flying rock”, stretching between heavy rock, stoner, blues and psychedelia. Their once-raw stoner-sludge assault has matured into a more versatile beast, equally capable of roaring, floating and daydreaming. Kormorana’s sound is impossible to ignore, and resisting their smoky, down-to-earth heaviness is no easy task. Expect crushing riffs and a generous dose of psychedelia that will linger in your ears long after the show.

Zubi are a Novi Sad duo whose straightforward sound combines punk energy, filthy synths and street rap. Armed with drums, vocals and bass, they deliver aggressive rhythms fuelled by dark humour and uncompromising honesty, turning apparent simplicity into an intense live experience. Despite being relative newcomers, they’ve already played numerous shows, including Zagreb’s INmusic Festival, Changeover Festival, the Samit Nesvrstanih in Belgrade and Novi Sad’s Festival of Street Musicians, where they played their very first gig in 2025. Their debut EP, Bruksizam, was named among the more notable Serbian releases of 2025 by local music critics. Zubi turn their low-budget approach into a clear aesthetic statement. Making their Slovenian debut, they’re definitely worth checking out.

Serbian MC Spejs Noksi is one of the more intriguing and sonically adventurous voices on the regional hip-hop scene. His alternative rap ventures into electronic territory, fuelled by razor-sharp lyrics, dark humour and brutally unfiltered storytelling. On his latest album, Sveto mesto, he wanders through darker landscapes where generational anxiety meets esotericism, cosmic horror, pop culture references and the bizarre realities of provincial Serbia. The result is a raw, unpredictable live performance and a deep dive into his irresistibly compelling universe.
