After a little over four years, Sirenia returns to Močvara to celebrate the band’s quarter-century! The great Norwegians are more than well-known to the Zagreb audience, and fans of a slightly darker symphonic metal will once again come into their own, especially when it comes to such a beautiful occasion. Along with the latest single “Nightside Den” on May 3rd, they will also play a cross-section of their rich career with their greatest hits. Early bird tickets for the price of 29 euros can be purchased via the Hangtime website. The pre-sale price is 32 euros, on the day if there are any left they will cost 35 euros. Physical tickets will soon be available at the Dirty Old Shop. Sirenia is a Norwegian gothic/symphonic metal band from Stavanger, founded in January 2001. The spiritus movens of the whole story is Morten Veland, guitarist, vocalist, composer and producer, after his departure from the band Tristania. From the very beginning, Sirenia was conceived as an original project with a clear vision of dark, melancholic and atmospheric metal, combining heavy guitars, rich orchestrations, choirs, female vocals and rougher male vocals, with occasional electronic elements. The original name of the project was Masters of Sirenia, inspired by the sirens of Greek mythology, which was clearly reflected in the lyrics and general atmosphere of the music. The debut album At Sixes and Sevens (2002) brought complex and strongly orchestrated gothic metal and is today considered one of the key releases of the genre. The next album An Elixir for Existence (2004) further solidified the band’s status and defined their recognizable dark and emotional expression. Over the years, Sirenia has become known for its frequent changes in female vocalists, among whom Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen and Ailyn have stood out, each bringing a different dynamic and character to the band’s sound. The album Nine Destinies and a Downfall (2007) marked a more melodic and accessible turn, while later works continued to balance between symphonic opulence and more modern metal influences.
In the band’s newer phase, Emmanuelle Zoldan joins the vocals, with whom Sirenia has released several notable albums and further refreshed its sound. Lyrically, the band continuously deals with introspective themes such as existential sadness, inner conflicts, depression and spiritual search. Despite numerous line-up changes, Sirenia has maintained a strong and recognizable identity thanks to Veland’s consistent authorial vision and remains one of the longest-lasting and most influential names in the gothic metal scene, also known for its powerful, emotionally charged concert performances across Europe and the world, and the Croatian audience knows this very well. The day after, the band will perform at Belgrade’s Zappa Barca, also organized by Hangtime.
See you on May 3rd in Močvara, secure your tickets in time!

48TH SCIENCE FICTION DAYS IN ZAGREB – SFERAKON 2026
A BREATH OF MAGIC FROM THE WORLD OF HARRY POTTER – two actors from the films for the first time in Croatia
ZAGREB, December 30, 2025 – SFeraKon, the oldest science fiction convention in this part of Europe, will be held this year from May 8 to 10, 2026 in Zagreb at the location Ulica Radoslava Cimermana 88 (SEECEL on the western side of the Fairgrounds) with numerous interesting events and distinguished guests!
The next SFeraKon, an internationally recognized convention with a long tradition organized by SFera, the science fiction society from Zagreb, will once again welcome numerous science fiction and related genres enthusiasts with a rich program this year. For the first time, actors from the cult films about the young wizard who have marked an entire generation and have been delighting viewers around the world for 25 years are coming to Croatia. Visitors will have the opportunity to see and meet people involved in this phenomenon and hear first-hand stories about how it came to be. Josh Herdman immortalized the character of Gregory Goyle, a Slytherin who, alongside Malfoy and Crabbe, antagonized Harry and his friends. After an early acting career, Josh turned to martial arts, jiu-jitsu and MMA. And in the last few years, he has been slowly returning to the screen. We all remember the character of Viktor Krum, who enchanted Hermione at the Triwizard Tournament in the fourth Harry Potter film, and many viewers too. He was played by Stanislav Yanevski, a Bulgarian actor, who will share his story about how he accidentally ended up on the set with SFeraKon visitors. He has several more films behind him, and today he is a motivational speaker and lecturer.
More than three thousand visitors are expected at the convention this year, science fiction associations will be presented, and visitors will enjoy numerous lectures, game rooms, tournaments and demonstrations of board games, as well as a book fair, sales exhibition and of course cosplay.
All of the above is just part of the great program that awaits you in May, and about which we will regularly inform you! For all other information, follow us on the official website: http://sferakon.org/ Registration fees will be available online and at the event itself.
SFeraKon is organized with the support of the City of Zagreb and the Ministry of Culture.

After a fantastic performance in 2024 at Močvara, Nytt Land returns to the same venue to promote their eleventh studio album with eight songs, “Aba Khan”. It was released at the end of February, so the concert on May 10th will be a great opportunity to hear what this unusual Siberian duo has to offer. Nytt Land creates ritual music inspired by shamanism, old Nordic texts and traditions of Siberian peoples, combining ancient instruments, throat singing and an atmosphere that invokes the spirits of the tundra and taiga, as the Zagreb audience has already seen for themselves. The limited contingent of early bird tickets is sold out!
The pre-sale price is 24 euros, while on the day of the concert, if any remain, they will cost 28 euros, and you can find them on our website. Physical tickets are available at the Dirty Old Shop.
Nytt Land was formed in 2013 in the city of Kalachinsk (Omsk region), more than 4,700 kilometers from Zagreb, and the whole story was started by the married couple Nataliya and Anatoly Pakhalenko. In addition to the dark neo-pagan atmosphere they create, they are also characterized by throat singing and playing on handmade traditional instruments such as kantele and talharpa, which is certainly an additional reason why this unusual ceremony is worth attending. The band says that they are inspired by the sounds of the Siberian landscape, and in their music they also use recorded raven sounds and other ambient sounds from the forest, which is why some describe their music as a “hallucinogenic walk through the tundra”. Lyrically, they often rely on Norse mythology, especially on the collection of 38 poems “Elder (Poetic) Edda”, one of the most important sources of the Norse mythological tradition. Last time they were in Močvara promoting “Torem”, and in the meantime they have released two more albums: “Songs of the Shaman” (2025) and the aforementioned “Aba Khan”, so it can be concluded that the band is in great creative and concert momentum. See you on May 10th in Močvara, it would be a sin to miss it.
Hangtime is organizing Nytt Land’s concert on May 21st at Belgrade’s Zappa Barca.
