Our July selection kicks off with a great concert by a rock legend. Listen live to hits like Highway To Hell, Back in Black, Shoot to Thrill and many more as part of the POWER UP tour, the first in Europe for eight years. The band’s celebration of their 50-year reign will feature guitarist Angus Young, vocalist Brian Johnson, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and a new bassist who replaced Cliff Williams.
While the Italian market took place in June, July belongs to the French. After a year, French Day returns to the Main Square to celebrate the French national holiday marking the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. There will be no shortage of French delicacies, from cheeses to desserts to drinks at twenty stalls. Lovers of the French language, music, sports, cosmetics and dance will also be in for a treat. You can also look forward to a French book fair.
Forty performers from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Spain and Greece will offer the residents and visitors of Bratislava a great artistic experience in the form of great concerts in the emerging cultural centre in the heart of historic Bratislava, the garden of the Albrecht House. The fifth edition of the Hortus artis festival will bring ten concerts of chamber music from different historical periods and regions.
July will also belong to another legend of world music. You surely remember the unforgettable hit of the 90s Senza una donna. Now you can enjoy it live, because the legendary Italian singer, composer and musician Zucchero, known for his collaborations with many world artists such as Paul Young, Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, Elton John, Bono from U2, Sting, or Andrea Bocelli, will perform at the Bratislava Castle.
Mikhail Bulgakov’s classic, The Master and Margaret, probably needs no special introduction. Now comes Teatro Tatro’s adaptation. How has the devil, who appeared in Moscow in the 1930s, changed and how much does he influence the world today? Isn’t the contemporary world even more diabolical than the world of post-revolutionary Moscow? Enjoy Master Bulgakov performed by Lukáš Latinák, Marián Miezga, Róbert Jakab, Milan Ondřík, Agata Spišáková and others.
The popular drum and bass summer open air Grillegalized on three stags is coming again this year! You’ve got a lot to look forward to, including The Prototypes from the UK, Alibi from Brazil, locals Changing Faces, Volster from Croatia and Germany’s OFF / GRIDOM.
The classic antiques market in the beautiful premises of Červený Kameň Castle will take place in July again. During the Saturday market you can choose from a wide range of coins, medals, stamps, postcards, stickers, badges, books, paintings, prints, porcelain, records, clocks, music boxes, historical weapons, furniture and many other historical bits and pieces as well as larger pieces.
If you want to remember the unforgettable 90s, this festival in Trnava is perfect for you. Mr. President fka. Layzee, Lunetic, Verona, MC Erik and other stars will take you back in time.
This year a great program awaits us in the Medicka Garden, a popular Bratislava park. You can look forward to theatre for children, concerts, exhibitions, lectures, poetry, workshops, reading in the grass, puppet shows and much more. A great program for the whole family, from the little ones to our seniors. Admission to all events is free.
And summer cinemas inexplicably belong to summer. To first loves, children’s programmes, popcorn and hot summer evenings, and don’t forget the repellent 🙂
