Celica rocks, dances, moves, and grooves at the hottest concert events in town - for the fifth year in a row! For our fifth birthday, we’ll be hosting an unforgettable concert party in July and August 2026, featuring a top lineup of local and international bands!

They say that the afterparty is better than the party, but ABOP, a live electronic band, will prove everyone wrong by bringing the best rave party right to our Summer Garden.

“The after is better than the party.” Translate this saying into their native Croatian language and trim it down to a size of a four-letter acronym and you will get ABOP. You will also get an awarded and critically acclaimed Croatian electronic music band inspired by acid house, techno, electro and other early electronic dance music genres. There’s a rave on the floor and the audience is in trance – but there is no DJ – as ABOP consists of five exquisite musicians on stage. Live electronic band.

Their fist release, a self-titled EP from 2016 is sold-out. On account of it they’ve gathered miles and miles under their belt by playing in Austria, Italy, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, Belgium, France, Czech Republic and Bulgaria. On its account they also started gathering numerous awards both in Croatia and abroad.

In November 2019 the band released their first LP Delta (PDV Records). The album was mixed and mastered by Croatian techno trailblazer Petar Dundov.

2020 started promising with ABOP outselling one of the Zagreb’s biggest clubs – Boogaloo thus becoming one of the most successful Croatian instrumental bands. The band spent the next two years building the ABOP HQ studio from scratch, in the underground level of the brutalist neighbourhood of Novi Zagreb.

Out of it comes the new album Masters of Afters, released in November 2025 by LAA, Croatia’s most prolific live agency. The album opens with a phone call from Goran Bare, a legend of the Croatian alternative rock scene, and continues with the electro-punk hymn Zwei Kilo Zucker, the band’s latest single. It was pronounced the best Croatian album of 2025, and it brought ABOP numerous other nominations and awards. And just like with their predecessor, they sold out one of the biggest venues in Zagreb – the legendary Tvornica Kulture, once again confirming that they are one of the best live acts in Croatia.
