What a festival evening looks like

These 2026 examples show the range of formats and venues; the next programme will have its own works and times. For a first visit, choose one. Do not combine closely spaced shows simply because their start times fit on paper.

An opening concert

In 2026 the opening and Wunder Tandem concert were scheduled at the former power station, Stara mestna elektrarna, from 20:30 to 23:30.

A performance in Šiška

Baby Volcano was scheduled at Kino Šiška, 21:00–22:15. Venues outside the old town need their own travel plan.

A late club night

Flinta klub at Channel Zero was scheduled 23:00–05:00: a Saturday-night event that ends on Sunday morning.

Language, tickets and the right performance

Start with the form of the work: a film, spoken performance, concert and workshop make different demands on a visitor. Read the language and subtitle notes before booking something led by speech. A music or visual performance may be easier to follow, but its content and age advice still matter.

Confirm admission, reservation and access on the individual event page. The programme can place works at different venues and on dates outside the core festival. Save the venue name as well as the title so a later programme change is easier to notice.

Plan the whole evening

Have dinner near the chosen venue before the show. Set aside a travel buffer rather than scheduling an immediately preceding guided tour. If you want to see two works, check both end times and allow for a delayed exit, a coat queue and a change of venue.

For late performances, decide how you will return to your accommodation before going inside. Check current public transport hours; for a very late finish, a prearranged ride or a realistic walk may be the better plan. Ask the venue directly about step-free entry, accessible toilets and seating for the exact performance setup.
