The first weekend of September marks the start of club season in Zagreb, with several venues reopening after the summer break. At the same time, the coast is still alive with late-summer parties. Here are some of the highlights:
But first, to prepare for the weekend, listen to RUPTON’s GUESTMIX on our SoundCloud!
FRIDAY / September 5th
Season Opening w/ DJ Tennis
📍Peti Kupe, Zagreb
Peti Kupe opens the new season with DJ Tennis, the Italian DJ and producer behind the Life and Death label. Active since the early 2000s, he has played at clubs like Fabric, Panorama Bar, and Circoloco Ibiza, and at major festivals including Sónar, Time Warp, and Coachella. His style blends house, techno, and disco with a distinctive, personal touch. The evening starts at 6 PM on the terrace with Antonio Zuza b2b Pepi Jogarde.
Spirit of Clubbing: Season Opening
📍DEPO Club, Zagreb
UMC is back with another Spirit of Clubbing season! Marcela, recently awarded for her work, will showcase her deep and unique sound. Pasta and Pox step in with steady, driving grooves to carry the floor through the night, while Woodoo Ray closes with darker shades of techno.
Sunset Castle – Ljeto na Gradini 2025
📍Trsat Castle
Housemates return to Trsat Castle, this time with Dutch producer David Mackay, one of the freshest names in melodic afro house whose sound has caught the ear of Keinemusik, Adriatique, Tiësto, and Black Coffee. Joining him is Einfakinn from the Atlantida crew, bringing his playful mix of afro, progressive, and groovy rhythms. The afterparty is at Nemo Club!
SATURDAY / September 6th
GUSTA PARTY: auGusta Edition
📍Boogaloo, Zagreb
After a short postponement, Gusta Party is back this weekend with its summer edition – Gusta Party: auGusta Edition. The summer Gusta will take place from 5 PM to 10 PM on the terrace of Zagreb’s Boogaloo Club, featuring co-founder and resident DJ Colinda Evangelista. The theme is augusta, and the dress code is bikini prekini [eng. bikini break-it].
Bročki Beat
📍Masters, Zagreb
Masters terrace stays true to its reputation as Zagreb’s most atmospheric summer spot for underground music. This weekend, the focus shifts to the golden years of house – the 80s, 90s, and 2000s – with Bročki Beat hosting a special guest: Mirna House. Her sets are playful, genre-fluid, and, as one friend put it, simply “sexy music.”
Ilija Rudman All Night Long
📍DVA OSAM, Zagreb
After the summer break, DVA OSAM opens its new club season with a full-night set from Ilija Rudman, one of Croatia’s most respected producers, DJs, and composers in the global electronic scene. For more than two decades, Rudman has been a leading figure in underground disco and house, known for his uncompromising analog sound and boogie-infused disco maxis reminiscent of Prelude, West End, and late Salsoul.
Future Scope w/ DU’ART
📍Boogaloo, Zagreb
Future Scope welcomes one of Europe’s most respected techno DJs – Du’Art from Portugal, known for his raw, powerful sound and performances at festivals like Tomorrowland and Awakenings. The night also features a live set from F.O.R.M., plus local support from Shipe and Fabian Freyer of the CMTD collective.
Jan Kinčl
📍Nemo Club, Rijeka
Nemo welcomes Jan Kinčl, Zagreb-based producer, DJ, and live performer active since the early 2000s. His sound moves between house, techno, and jazz, with releases on labels like BBE Records, Far Out Recordings, Sonar Kollektiv, and Get Physical. He’s collaborated with names such as Alton Miller, Gene Hunt, and Kai Alcé, and is the founder of Cycle Records and Cycle Studio Zagreb.
Culture
Zagreb Museum Weekend (MUV)
September 4th – 7th 📍Zagreb
Zagreb is adding something new to its cultural calendar this year – the first ever Zagreb Museum Weekend (MUV). For four days, the city’s museums will open their doors with free entry and a full program of events designed for all generations. The first edition of this event is tied to an important anniversary: the 175th year since the unification of Gradec and Kaptol, a historic moment that shaped modern Zagreb. Eleven museums founded by the City of Zagreb are taking part, each adding their own twist. Alongside regular exhibitions, visitors can expect guided tours, creative workshops, themed walks through the city, and talks that bring history and art into everyday conversation.
