Postojna Cave (Postojnska jama) will host the We Are Singing Ljubljana gala concert in Postojna, Slovenia, on 17 October 2026. The programme links an international choral festival with a natural venue whose underground railway and halls form part of the visitor experience.
We Are Singing Ljubljana brings its gala underground
The organiser lists We Are Singing Ljubljana from 16 to 18 October 2026, with concerts in Ljubljana and inside the cave. Its schedule places the meeting at the cave at 2.30pm on 17 October, followed by a tour before the concert.
The gala concert is scheduled to begin at 5pm, with a final song at 6pm and a gala dinner afterwards. The organiser describes the programme as choral music from the Renaissance to the present, performed by choirs from around the world. Times are marked as approximate on the programme, so the published schedule should be treated as a guide rather than a guaranteed timetable. The festival programme for 17 October names both the venue and the date.
Postojna Cave gives the concert a railway and karst setting
The cave system is known for its underground railway, which opened in 1872. The operator describes a 3.7-kilometre train journey on a double-track railway, followed by a walk through halls shaped by water over millions of years.
The visitor route provides a specific link between the October concert and the site: the singers perform in a cave reached through the same underground setting that defines the regular visit. The operator also identifies the five-metre Brilliant stalagmite and the Dance Hall with its chandeliers among the cave’s named features. The official description of the cave and railway records these details.
The underground environment also imposes practical limits. The operator says the cave temperature remains at 10 °C throughout the year, while the accessible path has a non-slip concrete surface and no steps. One section rises by about 40 metres over approximately 200 metres before a similar descent, making footwear and mobility planning relevant even for a concert visit.
