Dubioza Kolektiv
Since its inception in 2003, Dubioza Kolektiv has grown from a local phenomenon into one of Europe’s most acclaimed live bands. With roots in a Bosnia and Herzegovina shaped by the wars in the former Yugoslavia, they created their own uncompromising sound that blends Balkan music with ska, punk, reggae, rock, hip-hop, and electronic influences.
With a clear do-it-yourself attitude, the band’s music features political satire, sharp portrayals of contemporary life, and irresistible sing-along choruses. Driving percussion, Balkan brass, and ska guitars give Dubioza Kolektiv a sound that is both unique and instantly recognizable.
Over the past two decades, Dubioza Kolektiv has been a hit at Europe’s biggest festivals, including Glastonbury, Roskilde, Lollapalooza, Exit Festival, and Pol’and’Rock.
The audience in Uppsala can look forward to a concert evening where the boundaries between the audience and the stage are blurred. Dubioza Kolektiv delivers a musical extravaganza where the Balkans meet the world—and where the message of community, openness, and humanity runs like a common thread.
Superstar Orchestra
Süperstar Orkestar is the band that, for nearly thirty years, has been playing, celebrating, and spreading Balkan brass music in all kinds of settings. They have performed both in Sweden and abroad, at venues ranging from festivals and concert halls to schoolyards and house parties.
Several popular albums have been released, and audiences have also been able to see the band on both radio and TV. But one thing everyone agrees on—Balkan party music is best experienced live, and every opportunity to experience this music in person should be seized!
Organizers
The concert is presented by Uppsala Konsert & Kongress in collaboration with Riksteatern.
