Three days of world-class music await Bratislava. The fifth edition of this major festival will once again take place at the Old Vajnory Airport and will feature big names such as Robbie Williams, David Guetta, Bebe Rexha, Shaggy, John Newman, MEDUZA, Swae Lee, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Dimension, Ofenbach and other stars from the domestic and international music scene. Be part of the biggest music event of the summer.
Imagine a sunset over the Danube, great music, a drink in your hand and a great time. ✨ All this awaits you at the Disco Boat party. DJs Charlie Brown, Henry T, Robo Matejka and Fazo will ensure an unforgettable atmosphere. If you love music and unique experiences, this is a party you simply can’t miss! 💃🕺
If you’d like to try a workout that’s also great fun, join us and give Techno Pilates a go. It combines traditional Pilates exercises with electronic music, particularly techno or deep house. Techno Pilates at the club isn’t just ‘another workout’ – it’s more of an experience that combines exercise, music and atmosphere. The sessions take place in a club setting with lighting, LED effects and visual elements that react to the music. This turns the workout into a real experience.
Would you like to experience a concert just as it was in the days of the monarchy? We have a unique opportunity for you. Pressburg Soirée will transport you back to the days of the monarchy through magnificent operetta music, waltzes, czardas and polkas, performed by talented musicians and singers in period costumes. All this takes place at the Primate’s Palace, one of Bratislava’s most beautiful historic sites.
This hugely popular event is back. For the tenth time, the ‘Wine Under the Stars’ weekend event will take place at the Pod starou horou vineyard in the Pezinok vineyards. As well as wine, you can enjoy concerts by a number of brilliant bands and performers under the night sky, including Peter Lipa & Band, Medial Banana, Monkey Business, Dub Fx, A.M.O., Jô, David Koller, Polemic and many more.
Bratislava’s Cultural Summer continues with evening events on the city walls throughout August. A packed programme, concerts and various accompanying events await you. In August, as part of the ‘Cabaret of Magic’ programme, four magicians will enchant you by combining magic with theatrical elements. This will be followed by a concert by Sam Handwich, and the magical evening will conclude with Insomnia Sound – DJ Cenatt.
A popular event where you can step back in time to the age of chivalry is back. Fencing and archery, oriental dances and the performance ‘Habsburg Secrets’ await you. The event will also feature a magic show and demonstrations of combat readiness by the Janissaries – the elite of the Ottoman army.
If you’re looking for an exceptional cultural experience this summer in Bratislava, don’t miss the Cathedral Organ Festival. Since 2010, it has been bringing concerts by world-renowned organists and musicians from across Europe to the majestic St Martin’s Cathedral. The festival ranks among the most prestigious organ events in Central Europe and attracts classical music lovers and visitors keen to experience the unique atmosphere of historic Bratislava every year.
Once again this year, the summer holidays will draw to a close with Uprising, Central Europe’s biggest reggae festival, at Zlaté piesky. The organisers have once again managed to bring major international stars to Bratislava, such as Tiken Jah Fakoly, Dub Inc, Andy C and Bou (drum & bass), Masta Ace & Marco Polo (hip-hop), and Hempress Sativa & The Unconquerebels. As well as music, there will be relaxation zones, talks, and yoga and dance workshops. Children are also welcome, and a special area will be set aside for them.
Since 2009, the ‘Tribute to Freedom’ concert at Devín has been one of the top summer events. During the communist era, Devín was a symbol of the Iron Curtain, as it was surrounded by a barbed-wire fence nearly three metres high. This is one of the reasons why the return of freedom is celebrated here every year. This year’s concert will feature legends such as Hex, Buty and Vidiek.
