Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju (trans. Tonight You Will Be Entertained by Musicians Who Drink) is the fifth studio album from Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band Riblja Čorba.

The album was polled in 1998 as the 80th on the list of 100 greatest Yugoslav rock and pop albums in the book YU 100: najbolji albumi jugoslovenske rok i pop muzike (YU 100: The Best albums of Yugoslav pop and rock music).

Although the band's guitarist Momčilo Bajagić had already started his solo career, he contributed greatly to this album by authoring two and co-writing another two songs. Also, drummer Vladimir Golubović, who worked with Bajagić on his solo album Pozitivna geografija, temporarily replaced Vicko Milatović, who was doing a mandatory service in the army. Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju would be the only album recorded with Golubović and the last album before Bajagić and Rajko Kojić left the band.

As Riblja Čorba's record label PGP-RTB did not want to finance recording in London, the band moved to Jugoton. However, Večeras vas zabavljaju muzičari koji piju would be the only album the band released through Jugoton.

In his autobiography Uživo!: Autobiografija (Live!: Autobiography) the band's bass guitarist Miša Aleksić described the atmosphere at the recording sessions:

The atmosphere in the studio was completely miserable. We worked mostly in the afternoon and at night. [...]

At the time, we all noticed Rajko started using heroin together with his girlfriend from Belgrade. [...] Since he couldn't get his hands on it regularly in Ljubljana he needed some substitute for that dangerous drug. He found an alternative in cough syrup Sanotus, which contained codeine. [...] It was available over-the-counter in SR Slovenia, so at one point he emptied all the chemist's shops in the city, cramming the stuff in his hotel room. I tried that syrup too, I drank half a bottle, and after that felt numb and sleepy. [...]
