SAVE Balkan’S CLUB CULTURE

On March 12th, a week before the government imposed quarantine, Balkan’s night clubs shut its doors in an effort to prevent the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, thousands of nighttime industry employees are currently unemployed and the entire Balkan music scene faces an existential crisis.

In a unified effort to save our cultural and creative industry, we have decided to join forces and stand together in solidarity with our friends. Now, more than ever, we need your helping hand! Please enjoy the streams, donate and save Balkan’s club culture!

No queue! Access all areas!

United We Stream Balkans will feature some of the region’s most iconic locations of their capital cities. Once a week, digital visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a high-quality livestream presenting five hours of a well-curated music program that highlights the local scenes from five different countries.   Streaming live DJ sets, live music and live performances, United We Stream Balkan will have something for everyone to enjoy while we all spend more time indoors to help the fight against COVID-19.

As a global charity project “United We Stream” has a crucial commitment in saving and keeping club culture. Alongside with other cities, Balkan is launching activities that will be fully committed to maintain the existence and functionality of local artists, locations and related employees. In order to prevent irreparable consequences, it is important to intervene in a timely manner and draw attention to areas that have been particularly affected.
