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.

Admission: €14 presale, €17 on the day of the concert

OJAČEVALNICA – TRETJA DELAVNICA

Ojačevalnica je kreativna kalilnica kitarskih songwriterskih talentov. Brezplačen program, usmerjen v razvoj glasbene ustvarjalnosti mladih, ponuja prostor za odkrivanje lastnega glasbenega izraza in delo na avtorski glasbi. Namenjen je kitaristkam in kitaristom od 12. do 18. leta in želi preko unikatne zasnove delavnic opolnomočiti novo generacijo ustvarjalcev.

Program je sestavljen iz štirih brezplačnih delavnic, zaključnega nastopa ter uvajalnega, spoznavnega dne in poteka novembra ter decembra 2026 v Gala hali.

S sodelovanjem v programu Ojačevalnice tako pod edinstvenim mentorstvom vstopaš v kreativni laboratorij, ki te opremi z orodji za samozavestno raziskovanje lastnega igranja, pisanje pesmi, aranžiranje skladb in te nenazadnje nauči novih kitarskih veščin.

Na tretji delavnici bodo skupine že aktivno raziskovale in ustvarjale svoje pesmi. Iskali bomo rife, melodije, ritme in druge glasbene ideje ter jih postopoma povezovali v smiselne celote – od uvoda in kitice do refrena ter drugih delov skladbe. Ob koncu delavnice bodo skupine svoje ideje predstavile tudi drugim in si medsebojno izmenjale konstruktiven feedback.

ZELENO SONCE SPECIAL: CALIBRO 35 (IT) vs. L.A.

+ Udo Brenner (Zeleno Sonce)

Remember the three excellent Calibro 35 shows at Zeleno Sonce’s funk nights? One of Italy’s most renowned instrumental collectives of the past two decades — who apparently only drink Johnnie Walker Black Label — are returning to the Gala Hala stage exactly ten years later!

Formed in Milan in 2007, Calibro 35 draw on the sound and aesthetics of cult Italian films from the ’60s and ’70s, particularly crime and action movies, and transform them into their own explosive mix of funk, jazz, soul, psychedelia, rock and electronics. They’ve toured the world, opened for MUSE in Milan and, this year, performed at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Along the way, they’ve collaborated with a long list of renowned musicians and developed a cult following well beyond Italy — their music has even been sampled by Dr. Dre and Jay-Z.

Their sound is organic, cinematic and packed with heavy grooves. Over nearly two decades, they’ve released a string of acclaimed albums, including Traditori di tutti (2013), S.P.A.C.E. (2015), Decade (2018), Momentum (2020) and Nouvelles Aventures (2023). In 2022, they paid tribute to Ennio Morricone, one of the key inspirations behind the band, with the two-part project Scacco al Maestro.

And this time, film will once again take centre stage. Calibro 35 composed the original score for director Francesco Zippel’s documentary Ellroy vs. L.A., exploring the dark and complicated relationship between legendary American crime writer James Ellroy, author of The Black Dahlia and L.A. Confidential, and his hometown of Los Angeles.

The film premiered at the Rome Film Festival and this year won the Nastro d’Argento for Best Documentary in the Film, Entertainment and Culture category.

For the film, Calibro 35 cooked up exactly what they do best: cinematic crime funk packed with dark atmospheres, hypnotic grooves and urban psychedelia, where Ellroy’s noir L.A. collides with the band’s trademark Italian poliziottesco sound. The soundtrack will be released this autumn by Record Kicks, and their December show at Gala Hala will be largely dedicated to this new material.

The first half of the concert will take us deep into Ellroy’s dark L.A.; the second will bring us back to some of Calibro 35’s old favourites.

Zeleno Sonce is heading to Milan. Mamma mia!

Music policy: cinematic crime funk / groove italiano

Admission: €13 with reservation via mojekarte.si, €17 on the day of the concert

OJAČEVALNICA – ČETRTA DELAVNICA

Ojačevalnica je kreativna kalilnica kitarskih songwriterskih talentov. Brezplačen program, usmerjen v razvoj glasbene ustvarjalnosti mladih, ponuja prostor za odkrivanje lastnega glasbenega izraza in delo na avtorski glasbi. Namenjen je kitaristkam in kitaristom od 12. do 18. leta in želi preko unikatne zasnove delavnic opolnomočiti novo generacijo ustvarjalcev.

Program je sestavljen iz štirih brezplačnih delavnic, zaključnega nastopa ter uvajalnega, spoznavnega dne in poteka novembra ter decembra 2026 v Gala hali.

S sodelovanjem v programu Ojačevalnice tako pod edinstvenim mentorstvom vstopaš v kreativni laboratorij, ki te opremi z orodji za samozavestno raziskovanje lastnega igranja, pisanje pesmi, aranžiranje skladb in te nenazadnje nauči novih kitarskih veščin.

Na četrti delavnici bomo ideje dokončno izoblikovali in skladbam določili končne strukture. Posvetili se bomo še zadnjim dodatkom in detajlom, kot so solistični vložki, prehodi in drugi aranžmajski elementi. Obenem bomo skladbe ves čas igrali in razvijali, raziskovali različne možnosti zvoka ter se preizkušali v kreativnih pristopih k ustvarjanju. Cilj je, da skupine ob zaključku delavnic svoje skladbe čim bolj celovito razvijejo in jih pripravijo na izvedbo.
