Not just one of the best Canadian bands, but one of the best live rock bands in the world right now, Danko Jones come crashing into Ljubljana in October! Known for their turbocharged riffs, razor-sharp hooks and larger-than-life stage presence, the Toronto power trio have spent nearly three decades proving that loud, fast and catchy will never go out of style.
FOR FANS OF: Motörhead, Volbeat, Foo Fighters …
Formed in the mid-1990s by charismatic vocalist and guitarist Danko Jones, the band built its reputation the old-fashioned way: relentless touring, sincere songwriting and a total commitment to the live experience. Their sound is a potent blast of hard rock and punk attitude, fuelled by crunching guitars, pounding drums, and choruses made for chanting along. There are echoes of AC/DC, Thin Lizzy and Motörhead in their DNA, but Danko Jones filter these influences through a modern, lean and hook-heavy approach that wastes no time and pulls no punches. Delivered with a knowing wink and a sense of humour, their songs celebrate the immediacy of loud music and late nights, while their combination of swagger and self-awareness has earned them a loyal global following.
Danko Jones have released a dozen album to date, with their latest offering, Leo Rising, released last year to great acclaim. Crisply produced, it’s again a jolt of pure rock ‘n’ roll, delivered via heavy riffs, irresistible groove, and high energy. Balancing raw power with years of experience, it proves the band can still deliver fresh anthems decades into their career.
Remaining as much a force of nature onstage as ever, Danko Jones’ concerts come at audiences with relentless momentum, from packed clubs to massive festival stages. When they finally hit Ljubljana for the first time, expect a set packed with career-spanning favourites, new cuts from Leo Rising and the kind of no-nonsense, 100%, turn-it-up-to-11 rock show.
After their excellent performance at the sold-out Gogol Bordello show, warm-up duties will once again fall to British rock’n’roll beasts Split Dogs. From the very beginning, the band’s sound has been built on a sharp mix of high-hitting tunes, onstage ferocity, razor-tight riffs, and memorable lyrics. With a string of sold-out UK gigs behind them and support slots for acts such as GBH, Battlesnake, and Pigs x7, they’ve already clocked up some serious live mileage.
