Programme

Gala Hala is a prolific concert and event venue maintained and promoted by KAPA Association for Cultural and Artistic Production which has been an active and important part of Slovene independent alternative culture since 1994. In this time, Gala Hala has hosted a myriad of concerts and other events connected to arts and music. The largest club at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Centre, it hosts many of the more attention-grabbing concerts in Ljubljana. Among the frequent visitors to Gala Hala are, for example, Dub Trio, the obliterating dub-metal champions from Brooklyn, New York. Regular shows featured at Gala Hala include: Rapetek (hiphop concerts held every last Friday of the month); Zeleno sonce, funk events every first Friday of the month); Kapa Records Festival, concerts of the groups signed to their own independent label Kapa Records; Dub Club, electro-dub concerts; DubLab, a series of events hosted every Monday; Domorodni četrtki (Native Thursdays) presenting up-and-coming Slovene bands, Pozor! Nov bend na vidiku! (Attention! New Band Emerging!), which features foreign bands – first timers in Slovenia – who get a chance to introduce themselves in a live concert setting. Gala Hala is a vibrant meeting place of adventurers, travellers, and music lovers of various convictions. It's a perfect Friday night getaway into another dimension and a year-round haven for serious music fans.

Gala Hala Summer Stage

Gala Hala Summer Stage (Letni oder Gala Hale) is a grand outdoor performance area behind the Gala Hala venue that can host up to 900 attendees. Both more demanding shows and easy going summer events take place there in quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Some of the events are co-produced by Druga godba Ljubljana and Ljubljana Jazz Festival. The summer stage season usually extends from May until October.
