Ki Klop, Funk Shui and Aracataca are the first names of the third edition of the KSET festival on Krk! KSET's Sea Festival returns to the Wall Stage from August 14 to 16, 2026, and with nine names on the lineup, the program will include numerous workshops, outdoor activities and camping at sea.
Zagreb's disco pop sensation Ki Klop is the headliner of the first wave of KSET performers in Krk. The favorite trio consisting of Luka Žigolić (vocals, guitar), Jakov Ramničer (bass) and Laura Tandarić (backing vocals, drums) enchanted the regional audience with their urban but dark disco sound. With their debut album "Melted Disco", they earned the title of Pop&Off Artist of the Year, while already at the beginning of 2026 they represented Croatia at the biggest European showcase festivals - ESNS in the Netherlands and MENT in Slovenia. In cooperation with KSET, Ki Klop recorded the Sound Service session in Vatroslav Lisinski's concert hall. With the single "KAO JA", which was released at the end of 2025, they opened a new chapter of the band, they announced their biggest solo concert to date, which will be held next fall at Tvornica kulture, and the audience will be able to catch them before that at the KSET festival in Krk.
The Macedonian band Funk Shui will also perform on the Wall Stage. After holding their premiere performance in Croatia at KSET in 2022 in front of an insatiable audience, the band delighted the concert at the 42nd FER Freshman Festival. They further strengthened their special relationship with KSET members by guesting in the first episode of the Sound Service session recorded at the Komedija - Contessa Theater Club. Funk Shui has the albums "Aether" (2012), "R.E.M." (2015), the EP "Impuls" (2018) and the current "Nikogash Pak" (2023), and on the independent regional scene they have built a reputation as a band that creates a special connection with the audience, regardless of language and location.
Aracataca ft. Sensi (HRAM) - Kriv si samo ti (Official Video)
Aracataca is a young band from Šibenik that presented its debut album "On all sides" last year, which was released for the record company Menart. The band consists of Tara Šolić (vocals, guitar), Lorenzo Ušić (guitar), Ivan Stošić (bass) and Filip Laća (drums). Aracataca's sound is fresh and playful and carries elements of various genres, from bossa nova to post-punk, and the band stands out for its creative energy and innovation. Their musical style evolved along with them, moving from simpler forms to more complex arrangements. Aracataca will be presented to the public in Krk this summer.
