The Pula Arena once again confirms its unique place on the European concert map this summer! The magnificent, timeless amphitheatre by the sea becomes, once more, a breath-taking stage under the stars - a place where music legends, contemporary stars, and audiences from around the world come together. The fusion of historic ambience and world-class production makes the Pula Arena one of the most extraordinary concert venues, offering experiences that last a lifetime.

Throughout June, July, and August, Pula welcomes an impressive line-up of artists who have shaped different eras and genres of global music. June brings Lenny Kravitz, a global rock icon and one of today’s most charismatic live performers, alongside David Byrne - an innovator whose concerts blur the boundaries between music, movement, and visual art.

Audiences can also look forward to a performance by Ricky Martin, the Latin pop icon whose passionate rhythms, unmistakable charisma and electrifying stage presence promise an evening filled with dance, emotion and timeless hits. June will also bring an unforgettable night with David Byrne, the visionary artist whose concerts blur the boundaries between music, movement and visual spectacle

Jovanotti, one of Italy’s most influential singer-songwriters, has announced his long-awaited solo performance in Croatia on July 3, thrilling fans as tickets for the concert sold out almost immediately. Just one day later, John Legend will take the stage at the Arena. Widely regarded as one of today’s leading soul and R&B artists, his distinctive, emotive voice and exceptional musicality, paired with timeless hits and a close, intimate connection with the audience, promise a concert experience brimming with elegance, warmth, and genuine emotion.

In July, Pula hosts Moby, a musical visionary and the creator of some of the most influential albums in modern electronic music. The Arena’s summer will be further defined by the arrival of electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk, whose impact on the genre is immeasurable.

Sting, one of the most important songwriters and performers of his generation, was the first mega star to perform at the Pula Amphitheatre, back in 1997. This summer, the Arena once again welcomes him with open arms. Alongside Sting, the Adria Summer Festival will also host the BSH Party, a concept that has grown into a brand transcending the traditional party format by showcasing unique, historic, and visually stunning locations.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are renowned for their intense, emotionally charged performances that leave a deep impression on audiences. Demand in Pula has been overwhelming - tickets for the announced concert sold out in just a few days, leading Nick Cave to add a second consecutive night at the amphitheatre.

Lorde will make her debut at the Pula Arena, bringing her distinctive alt-pop sound to audiences from Croatia and around the world. The New Zealand artist of Croatian descent arrives in Pula as part of her major global tour, Ultrasound.

Beneath the starry sky of the Arena, Tom Odell will also take the stage. The British singer-songwriter’s emotive, piano-driven songs blend introspective lyrics with infectious modern pop melodies, promising a truly memorable performance.

The diversity of artists, the power of the location, and the Mediterranean summer atmosphere make the concert season at the Pula Arena one of the most exciting cultural events of the year. Once again, the Arena confirms its status as a place where music is experienced more powerfully, more intensely, and long after the final note fades.
