Gutalax Tbilisi: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Tbilisi)

A toilet-brush pit in Tbilisi

Gutalax plays Junkyard Club in Tbilisi on December 12, 2026. The band comes from the Czech Republic and plays goregrind, a form of grindcore built on blast beats, guttural vocals and songs that often end inside two minutes.

The name is a pun on a laxative brand, and the whole act runs on toilet humour. Toilet brushes get waved overhead. Rolls of toilet paper fly across the room. Plenty of fans wear white disposable hazmat-style overalls. It is loud, filthy and mostly good-natured.

What happens on the floor

A Gutalax show moves fast because the songs are short. The gaps between them are full of crowd noise and props, and long circle pits and crowd-surfing are normal, often on inflatable rings, rafts or toy animals passed hand to hand over the front rows.

What to expect at a typical show:

• Costumes: white overalls, plunger hats, the odd toilet seat worn as a collar
• Props: brushes, paper rolls, blow-up pool toys
• Movement: a pit that takes up most of the floor, with a calmer edge at the back and sides

The lineup, door time and set times come from the promoter, and this guide states none of them.

Moving with the Gutalax crowd

Gutalax fans have a pit etiquette of their own. Anyone who goes down gets picked up straight away, and inflatables are handed back rather than kept. Overalls are cheap and disposable, which is the point: they end the night grey, wet and torn, and the clothes underneath survive.

Habits worth copying:

• Leave a jacket or bag at the cloakroom if the club runs one. December nights in Tbilisi often hover near freezing, so people arrive bundled up and strip down for the pit.
• Wear earplugs. Grind at club volume is punishing on the ears.
• Fans usually pay by card around Tbilisi, and most bars take it. A little Georgian lari in cash covers the small places.
• Getting home, people mostly use ride-hailing apps: Bolt and Yandex Go both work across the city and are the normal late-night option.

Getting to Tbilisi in December

Tbilisi International Airport is about 17 km east of the centre. Taxis and ride-hailing apps cover the run into town. The Tbilisi Metro has two lines through the main districts, but it shuts around midnight, so visitors leaving a grind show late generally take a car instead.

Mid-December is low season. Rooms in Old Tbilisi, Sololaki and around Rustaveli Avenue are generally easier to find than in summer. Travellers who make a weekend of it often pair the gig with the sulphur bathhouses of Abanotubani, which are warm on a cold night and much quieter.

Many nationalities can enter Georgia visa-free for short stays. The rules depend on your passport, and Georgia’s foreign ministry publishes the current list.
