Running since 2010, Klub eMCe plac is the centre of alternative music in Velenje and a popular hangout place with a varied, imaginative programme of cultural and social events. Run under the auspices of the Velenje Youth Centre (MC Velenje) and the student association of the Velenje region, the club comprises a cafeteria, a gallery, and a multifunctional space/concert hall.

Open daily, during the week, the club runs a programme of workshops, educational activities, film screening cycles, round tables, and so on. Weekends are usually reserved for concerts or theatre plays. It is also open for co-productions and initiatives from the locals, and available for band rehearsals (with some instruments also available to rent).


Programme

The various events hosted or organised by Klub eMCe plac encompass things like the Deluxe Ski Jump (a legendary PC game) tournament, collective watchings of sports broadcasts, table football competitions, card and board games meetings, so-called listening sessions, etc.
