On July 11 and 12, 2025, the courtyard of DC Rojc in Pula transformed into a vibrant stage for Rojc Open Air — a two-day festival organised by No Profit Recordings that once again confirmed Pula’s cultural heartbeat. Despite occasional rain showers, the energy never dipped; the crowd stayed, the music roared, and the festival pulsed on, undisturbed and alive.
The lineup was a genre-rich feast that brought together diverse audiences — from doom and psychedelic to noise rock, prog and post-punk. Each band had its own following, and each set found its moment. Austrian trio Mother’s Cake delivered a hypnotic blend of spacey prog and funk-infused rock, while Italian heavyweights Messa cast a doom-laden spell over the courtyard. Croatian noise-rockers Nemeček brought intensity with their Balkan-rooted experimentalism, and Them Moose Rush once again proved their place in the upper league of prog-math chaos. She Loves Pablo brought the grooves, My Pitbull Lucifer leaned into dark psychedelic territories, Germany’s Kadeadkas kept it cold and sharp with post-punk, and Sheik Anorak’s electro-minimalist set rounded out the sonic experience with finesse.
The courtyard of Rojc was full — not just of people, but of movement, sound, and a shared sense of presence. Everyone was there for the music, for the experience, and it showed. Even the rain couldn’t shake that. If anything, it made the moments more intense, more real.
With Rojc Open Air, No Profit Recordings once again proved that Pula is not only ready but eager for content like this — for nights of live music that are loud, sincere, and unfiltered. We’re already looking forward to the next edition.
