For the third year in a row, we’ll be visited by regional music phenomenon Buč Kesidi, whose indie-electro-rock party sound has won over thousands of listeners across the Balkans. Considering that tickets for their April 2025 concert sold out in a mere three hours, we strongly recommend not waiting to buy yours.
FOR FANS OF: Joker Out, Svemirko, Artan Lili …
In recent years, the Serbian duo Buč Kesidi has firmly established itself as one of the most popular bands in the Balkans. Rising at remarkable speed to the top of the young regional indie rock scene, Buč Kesidi speak the language of their generation, while their performances on major festival and concert stages and their critically acclaimed albums have earned them admirers among older listeners as well.
Zoran Zarubica (drums, vocals) and Luka Racić (guitar, vocals) set a new milestone in their work with their second album Moderne veze and have toured extensively across all the countries of the former Yugoslavia, recorded a concert film, rapidly sold out iconic venues like Šalata Stadium and Tašmajdan, joined Slovenian favourites Joker Out at Stožice, and electrified crowds across the region.
The duo has performed at Šiška multiple times – they’ll be returning this February for the third year in a row, and judging from previous shows, we’re in for another unforgettable night. With their big disco rock’n’roll party, they’ll lead the audience through beloved hits like “Nedelja ujutru” and “Curimo po asfaltu”, while also unveiling new material.
We’ll warm up with one of the most exciting young bands in Slovenia right now, indie rockers Yoko Nono, who released their long-awaited debut album Če te vprašajo in May at our venue. The record, which weaves personal stories into catchy choruses and convincing rock anthems, has lived up to the high expectations set by earlier radio hits such as “Kim” and “Se ti zdi”. Through extensive touring across Slovenia, the band has built a loyal fanbase, while a nomination for Slovenia’s most prestigious music award, the Golden Whistle, confirms that Yoko Nono also have strong support from music professionals.
After the main event, the party will continue one floor below in the Komuna Hall, where afters duties will fall to Serbian alter-pop band Turbo Trans Turisti and Maribor new-wave outfit Đoko, both already well known to local audiences from the MENT Ljubljana festival.
Turbo Trans Turisti are an alternative pop band from Belgrade, founded in 2017 by the Mijušković brothers, who initially ran the project out of a home bedroom converted into a studio. Following two studio albums and one live release, the band made a clear artistic leap with last year’s Važan i Veliki, and have built a reputation for raw, honest emotion and relentless stage energy through intense, almost non-stop live shows. Along the way, they’ve appeared at established showcase festivals such as MENT, Tallinn Music Week and ESNS.
Đoko are a new wave/synthpop band drawing on the aesthetics of the 1980s and 1990s, reshaping them through synthesisers, electronic drums, guitars and melancholic lyrics into a distinctive contemporary sound. After a run of well-received singles and their debut album To ti vračam, tvoje je, which was named Album of the Year 2024 by Radio Terminal, they’ve established themselves as one of the more compelling acts on the local scene with songs exploring mental health, relationships and everyday life. Last year they returned with the single “VSE OK”, which quickly took over the airwaves and became Song of the Week on radio Val 202.
