The Friday Swingers is a Brno band that brings a fresh take on gypsy swing and vintage jazz. It is based on the work of Django Reinhardt, but also includes American swing classics by authors such as George Gershwin or Cole Porter. The repertoire includes well-known standards such as All of Me or Fly Me to the Moon, elegant French flair (Coucou, Ménilmontant), a bit of Eastern wilderness (Dark Eyes). The songs are mainly in English and French, but sometimes you can also hear something in Czech. Suitable for dancers! The line-up consists of two guitars, an accordion, a double bass, a violin and vocals. We play music that we love, and we are most happy when you enjoy it with us.

Aerostation is a brand new band exploring new boundaries of rock through a contamination of genres and styles: alternative rock, crossover prog, hard rock, electronic music, fine pop, ambient. It's a power trio without guitarist... Liquid keys and strong and powerful guitar-like edited sounds are melted together in an original way and played by Alex Carpani through his custom keytar, while Gigi Cavalli Cocchi's personal and recognizable touch on drums gives to the music the right strongness and energy. Alex takes care of the lead and back vocals as well. Gigi and Alex are accompanied by Jacopo Rossi on bass. Jacopo is a well known musician of the International metal scene (Dark Lunacy, Nerve, Antropophagus). The debut album, ‘Aerostation’, has been published by Immaginifica (by Aereostella) on October 5th, 2018 and is physically distributed by Self Srl and digitally distributed by Pirames International.

Although they only released their debut on Kabinet Records in 2021, their concerts have been well-attended since time immemorial. And it's no wonder; the mix of post-punk and indie rock that this band creates is absolutely unique and unforgettable. ENDEMIT is a jazzcore band from Brno. Their instrumental lineup is reminiscent of Mötorhead, or any other garage slush. The songs feature influences from New York downtown and bands like Black Midi, King Crimson, or Medeski Martin & Wood.

Warm summer evenings are best spent under the stars with music, which is why the Janáček Opera NdB ensemble is once again bringing an opera performance to the romantic setting of Špilberk Castle this year. A timeless tragic story of a courtesan hoping for the happiness of true love. For a brief moment it seems so close, but it is only a dream. A chamber drama in the classic direction of Zbyněk Srba.

Traditional and new songs in Hebrew, Turkish and Arabic in original arrangements for voice, cello and electronics. The concert will take place on August 30, 2025 at Villa Tugendhat.

Ivo "Spyder" Křižan - an American musician of Czech origin, has played and collaborated with many prominent musicians such as Jeff Beck, Doug Lunn, Henri Bozzie, Mitch Mitchell and others. For many years he played in black club bands, especially in California, which were a great school of rhythm and blues for him. Spyder alternates his musical activities both abroad and on the Czech music scene, and his concert promises an extraordinary musical experience.

Imagine if Nirvana and the Beatles had a child, and that child would grow up to be a rock singer and songwriter. That's Bryan Bielanski! Although this North Carolina talent draws inspiration from other rock greats like Tom Petty and REM, he has his own unique musical style and songs with lyrics that make you think (often quite deeply). In his American homeland, the media writes about him as an indie rock songwriter who aspires to be an icon of his genre and is a shining example of what great pop songs should look like. An evening with Bryan definitely promises a very relaxed experience with cheerful, sun-drenched music.

TEXAS TOAST CHAINSAW MASSACRE (USA) A high-energy crossover thrash metal band from Chicago that combines sharp riffs, humor and wrestling madness. Since their formation in 2011, Texas Toast Chainsaw Massacre have earned a reputation as a band that knows no bounds live – their concerts are a mix of moshpits, laughter and stagediving with inflatables, foam bars and wrestling “fights” for their own championship belt. With albums like Til Death Do Us Party, Busey Up Your Ass and the recent Super Turbo, they have established their place on the American thrash scene: fast riffs, comedic lyrics and pop culture references with an uncompromising soundtrack ranging from Gang Green to Municipal Waste. They have shared the stage with Ghoul, DRI, Havok, Lich King and Nekrogoblikon and they don’t forget why they do it all – for fun. Come and "get your head smashed" and laugh your heart out at the same time. This thrash ride doesn't take itself seriously and is deadly good.

Come play. Drums, keyboards, guitar and microphones will be on site. Bass combo too. We will be happy to plug in and sound up other instruments.

Come and listen to the production team and soloists of the new production of Giuseppe Verdi's Aida. The preview will take place on September 10, 2025 at the Janáček Theatre and you can also watch it online. Verdi's Aida is one of his masterpieces, which lacks none of the guaranteed ingredients of a romantic Italian opera - love, jealousy, political intrigue, large choral scenes and inevitable tragic death. Of course, this also includes a great singing cast, in this case Csilla Boross, Sung Kyu Park, Luis Cansino, Aleš Jenis and others. This will also be the first time that our company will collaborate with our junior ballet company NdB2 on this production. The productions usually focus on the secret lovers Radames and Aida, but what if we looked at the whole story through the eyes of Amneris, whose love for Radames is determined to win her at any cost, unaware that the price will ultimately be human lives, including the life of her chosen one?

The Ornis string jazz trio will perform, consisting of Aneta Wirth - violin and vocals, Max Wittmann - guitar, Juraj Valach - double bass. The program will feature pleasant jazz, sung standards, and original compositions by Max Wittmann.

The Absolute Nightingale and the Golden Nightingale of 2023 and 2024 will perform in Brno!

She was also a judge of singing competitions and hosted two years of the Anděl music awards.
