Welcome to Makedonska Noḱ 2026!
On Friday, July 10, Gala Hala will host four outstanding acts from North Macedonia’s alternative music scene. Expect four distinct live performances, followed by an afterparty that will keep the night going well into the early hours.
XAJKA
Xajka is a four-piece post-punk band from Skopje, formed in 2018 by a group of high school friends. What began as a casual collaboration quickly evolved into one of the most exciting new bands in North Macedonia, leading to the release of their debut EP Непрекинато Движење (Continuous Movement) in 2020, followed by Антиталент (2021) and Мека Машина (Soft Machine, 2023).
Their music combines post-punk with experimental electronics, driving rhythms, and fast tempos. Alongside their studio releases, Xajka have become known for unpredictable, improvisation-heavy live performances.
KORKA
Korka return to Gala Hala with their loud and uncompromising five-piece lineup from Kočani. Drawing inspiration from ’90s dissonant noise rock and the raw energy of alternative rock, the band tells the story of their antihero Risto through crushing riffs and abrasive vocals on their debut EP.
Blending brutality, restless energy, and themes of apathy that reflect the realities of today’s youth, Korka’s DIY spirit, dark atmosphere, and lyrics—ranging from absurdist humour to sharp social commentary—have established them as one of the freshest voices on the Macedonian alternative scene.
DIVOGRADBA
A sonic assault from Skopje—at times delicate, at others ferocious—leading inevitably to cathartic movement. That’s the experience Divogradba serve.
Galloping drums and thunderous bass provide the foundation for guitars that crackle, tear apart, and embrace all at once, leaving no room for indifference.
“Glory to the Exalted One, glory to Him, glory to Him!” they proclaim.
Following their self-titled EP, the band is currently working on their debut full-length album. Originally formed in 2021, disbanded in 2022, and reassembled in 2025, Divogradba return with a renewed lineup and a fresh burst of creative energy.
NATIGO DAJMIGO
The evening opens with a Macedonian-Slovenian coalition featuring members of the Mrtov Konj collective alongside members of the local band mal pre mal, setting the tone before the night unfolds into a celebration of contemporary Macedonian underground music.
