Pussy Riot bring "Riot Days" to Kino Siska in Ljubljana on October 14, 2026, at 8pm. Tickets start at 28 euros through eventim.hr. This is not a conventional concert - it is a mix of spoken word, electro and punk compositions, video projection and political performance.

The base is Maria Alyokhina's book of the same name, written after her 2012 arrest for the group's performance in a Moscow cathedral. She spent two full years in a Russian penal colony, and the text she now carries on stage is a direct report from that experience - from the courtroom to the camp.

The show does not stop at 2012. It runs through the annexation of Crimea, the protests from 2014 to 2022, and the death of Alexei Navalny. That is why "Riot Days" has been touring Europe and North America for several years now and keeps gaining new sections - the material it works with has not stopped being produced. Part of the proceeds from the shows goes to Ukraine's Okhmatdyt children's hospital.

Kino Siska is a venue that has long taken in exactly this kind of work - somewhere between a club and a theatre, small enough for everyone in the room to catch every word. Ljubljana is the closest point from which you can see this from Skopje, and 28 euros is a price that for a show like this is neither steep nor symbolic.
