“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.
