EU Advent / Music
40 days of music, nostalgia and dancing under the lights
EU Advent on European Square is the place you don’t just walk past – you stay. Over 40 days, bands, DJs and special music concepts take turns on stage, from live pop & rock concerts to club-style house and disco nights.
This winter we’re welcoming Ljetno kino, Alka Vuica, The Brand New Heavies, Zoster, Berlin’s dark-disco hero Curses, a series of Yammat FM open-air parties, MoJo Sound System by Ivona Kovačević, as well as Bare & Majke, Kawasaki 3P, Denis & Denis, Jimmy Stanić, Drago Diklić, Marcela, Arya, Bizzo, Ben Colgan and many others.
A detailed day-by-day schedule is available in the official programme, and here you’ll find a quick overview of the key acts plus a retro photo album from the stage and behind the scenes.
