KD Šeříková, commonly known as Šeříkovka, is a cultural centre and live music venue in Plzeň, Czech Republic. Located in the Slovany district, it is used for concerts, theatre, balls, dance events, community functions and other cultural activities.

The building dates from the communist-era normalisation period, with its foundation stone laid on 14 May 1971. It was developed as a social and cultural centre for the surrounding district, but later became especially known as a venue for rock and metal concerts in western Bohemia.

The main hall was substantially rebuilt and modernised in the mid-2010s. The work improved the acoustics, changed the layout and increased the capacity, allowing the hall to hold up to around 1,100 people for standing concerts. Seated events use a smaller configuration, while the building also includes a foyer, bar, balcony, gallery areas and smaller rooms for meetings and community use.

Rock and metal concerts had already become one of Šeříkovka’s best-known uses before the reconstruction. During the 2000s, the venue regularly appeared on tour schedules for international metal bands, including Edguy, Brainstorm, Nocturnal Rites, Masterplan, Korpiklaani, Rage, Marduk, Grave Digger and Alestorm. The Plzeň symphonic metal band Interitus also appeared there frequently, sometimes supporting visiting international acts.

Heavy music remains part of the venue’s programme. Czech rock and metal bands such as Debustrol, Fata Morgana and Blood Creek have appeared at Šeříkovka, while international extreme metal bookings have included Belphegor, Krisiun and Asagraum.

With its large standing hall, long rock concert history and continued metal bookings, Šeříkovka remains one of Plzeň’s established indoor venues for heavy music, while still functioning as a broader cultural centre for the Slovany district.
