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!

We will spend the last Thursday of this season in the great company of The Hahas and the Blablas from Croatia and local indie-alternative legends Morvern.

The Hahas and the Blablas are a Zagreb-based band playing new wave / disco garage / synth punk. Their songs can be described as danceable and upbeat, leaning more toward major than minor keys, with infectious mid-to-fast tempos, philosophically humorous lyrics, and reflections on the meaning of life. If you’re a fan of artists like B-52’s, DEVO, or Blondie, you will definitely enjoy The Hahas and the Blablas.

The protagonists of their lyrics include, among others, Andy Kaufman, Debbie Harry, David Icke, Daniel whose song was stolen, a family of rats they rent an apartment to, a friend who is for sale, etc. The main thread is presenting sometimes serious topics in a humorous way.

The band has been active since 2022, and after several lineup changes, in 2026 they decided to continue as a duo accompanied by rhythm and synth machines. So far, they have released one album with labels in Croatia, France, Australia, and the United States. They have also recorded six music videos for their songs, collaborating with artists from Croatia and abroad.

What started in Trbovlje as singer-songwriter Jan Cizej’s treasure chest of lo-fi ideas, quickly found its place under the sun in Ljubljana’s indie scene. Releasing the music prolifically through the diy label ŠOP Records, Morvern found itself scaling up in size and shifting into a fully-fledged, touring workhorse of a band around 2018. As of now, the band consists of Jay on bass, Miha on drums, and Cizej continuing his triple role of singer-guitarist-writer. And while he might still be the band’s de-facto leader, his previous persona of Morvern as singular person has now been dissolved to mean Morvern as a group of like-minded, but unique individuals. As a powerful three-piece, Morvern’s sound gradually shifted away from calming hallucinatory bedroom pop to fuzzy, loud assault of garage rock in order to satisfy the needs of the wild crowds they’ve encountered during touring, playing gigs all around their homeland of Slovenia as well as across the Balkans, crossing even the border of Bulgaria.
