Klub Gromka is a multipurpose space at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Centre with a stage and a dance floor. It serves as an office and rehearsal space for perforrmances and other events which feature various innovative music forms. Other events (poetry readings, lectures, theatre) also take place here. The Club hosts several festivals and extra events.

The beginnings of Gromka go back to 1995, when performers of various theatre groups decided to set up the Teater Gromka theatre. Other individuals joined in and it eventually transformed into a club. The current Gromka collective comprises of a colourful bunch of literature, music and film enthusiasts with one thing in common: we love our Gromka, it gives us shelter and serves as a location where we can socialise and be creative. The little big Gromka is located in the very heart of Metelkova, and is different from other Metelkova clubs, because it is not just a concert venue, but can be organised more like a jigsaw. It can transform from a lecture hall into a cinema, from a concert venue into a lounge room or a theatre. Gromka is the patron of urban (sub)cultural practices, a shelter for music left with nowhere to go, supporter of political activism and informal education, basically founded on the do-it-yourself principles.

Gromka is fully open six days a week, from Monday to Saturday. The week usually kicks off with a Retrovizor crew film screening or a poetry or fiction reading of the LUD Literatura group and cinema evenings of the Cultorologist association, while the second part of the workweek is dedicated to various club evenings (ReŠetanje of the Radio Student resident DJ’s, Balkanistan nights, thematic music club nights, etc.) Gromka’s concert programme is varied and colourful: in addition to individual concert events, Gromka hosts improvised music concerts hosted by Defonija and experimental music concerts organised under its wing, the ska and street punk concerts courtesy of Twotonebinas, raging R.A.F.A.L. concerts, while concerts organised by Kantiteta offer folk singers music. Gromka’s programme includes African nights, organised by the African society, occasional theatre plays, performances, stand-up comedy evenings and weekly Thursday lectures of the Workers-Punk University, organised by the Peace Institute.
