Musical Spring at Holešovice Market: The concert series will celebrate 130 years of the former slaughterhouse complex.

The music program celebrating 130 years of the Holešovice Market will bring a series of concerts from April to May, connecting the contemporary Czech music scene with the unique atmosphere of the industrial space of the market. Visitors can look forward to a diverse lineup – from electronic experiments by WWW NEUROBEAT to the delicate indie-folk of Republic of Two, and the powerful energy of hardcore legends Slut and Meat-House Chicago I.R.A. There will also be new discoveries from the music scene, such as Ida The Young and Anna Vaverková.

New edition

“It is quite difficult to choose just a few tips from the entire series, but if I had to recommend something, it would definitely be the series kickoff with WWW NEUROBEAT, the double concert of Manon Meurt and Ida The Young, who won the discovery of the year at the Vinyla music awards, or the double concert of Jakub König with the band Hvězdy and Anna Vaverková, who will release a new single shortly before her concert at Hall 17. Fans will surely not want to miss the concert return of Republic of Two or the hardcore legends Slut and I.R.A.,“ says Barbora Šubrtová, dramaturge of the music projects at Holešovická tržnice and Výstaviště.
