Domestic and international sensations in the selection of music editor Marijan Felver
With a rich concert program, Europe Square turns into a dance floor with the best domestic DJs
Not only are the numerous delicacies at EU Advent finger-licking delicious, but so is the music program. This year's selection, especially for gourmets, is full of sensations and surprises, all under the editorial baton of Marijan Felver, a popular DJ, a key player in the domestic party scene and a great music connoisseur. For 40 days of music, nostalgia and dancing under the lights on Europe Square, he has prepared a strong concert program and performances by the most famous domestic DJs.
Rarely attractive concert program
After the ecstatic opening of Advent with the always lively Summer Cinema, a series of great concerts by domestic, regional and international attractions follows. On Saturday, December 6th, the Mostar sensation Zoster will present their musical diagnosis of a society whose immunity has fallen. The band, which has conquered the region with a perfect mix of genres - from reggae, ska and rock to blues and pop - dissects the environment with precision, but also with a great deal of joy and wit. Confirmation of their quality is the Ambassador Award they just won for the best regional band.
On the other hand, the darkness will be presented in a romantic way on December 12th by Curses, a distinctive New York musician with a Berlin address, who has already become a favorite of the local audience. Combining guitars and electronics, he creates powerful live performances, mixing the nostalgia of new wave and energetic Italo-disco rhythms with a touch of post-punk. At EU Advent, he will hold an exclusive Christmas acid punk concert performance with Berlin musician Mike Sacchetti, at which he will perform new versions of songs from the album Another Heaven. This musical pleasure is provided by the popular club program Planet Srijeda and its founder Felver, who will rock the European Square for the rest of this evening.

The real treat comes on Christmas Eve, December 24, when Alka Vuica will arrive on the EU Advent stage. The always cheerful singer and author of numerous domestic hits will perform in a special edition this time. She will sing popular songs that she wrote for other famous performers. Alka will start her performance at 1 pm, and the entertainment for the rest of Christmas Eve will be taken over by Felver.
Starry New Year's Eve
A more than attractive and rich program awaits us on New Year's Eve. We enter 2026 with a world-famous name - The Brand New Heavies, a band that has marked the global acid–jazz and funk scene. It is a rare opportunity to welcome the New Year in Zagreb with a sophisticated band that has played all over the planet. We will wish each other all the best by dancing to hits such as Dream On Dreamer, Never Stop and You Are the Universe.
The all-day program on New Year's Eve starts at 11 am, and along with the aforementioned star band, we will dance to DJ performances curated by Vitamin Disco, Glazbena kuhinja, Bizzo and Phat Phillie.
In addition to the aforementioned, we will enjoy another concert surprise on December 27th, and we will find out which big name of the local scene we are talking about in the coming days.
Party until exhaustion with dance experts
There will be, as usual, a lot of dancing at the European Square with popular DJs. On Friday, December 5th, the spirit of Sequences, one of the most popular club nights in the city, will be conveyed by Antonio Zuza from Peti Kupe.
On December 13th, Fuki, DJ of the cult program Night of Faith and Devotion in the former Jabuka, will bring his mix of nostalgia from the 80s and 90s.
We're back to electronic music on December 19th with the traditionally most visited party MoJo Sound System and the fresh sound brought by Ivona Kovačević. The day after, on December 20th, Vitamin Disco will host its cathartic spectacle, inspired by the atmosphere of New York's underground clubs of the 70s.
