Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds perform at Pula Arena on 5 August at a sold-out concert on the Live - UK & Europe 2026 tour.

The Pula Arena concert starts at 21:00. This date sold out in only three days, showing the scale of interest in the band’s first appearance inside the Roman amphitheatre.

A sold-out Pula night with The Bad Seeds

On stage, Cave and The Bad Seeds combine lyrical tension, piano-led passages and sudden full-band impact. A set drawn from several periods of the career allows the concert to move from dark ballads into rhythm-driven songs, while the Wild God period adds a more open and ceremonial side to the band. For audiences holding tickets to the sold-out date, the strength of the performance lies in its concentration: Cave is not only a frontman, but a performer who steers the room through contact with the front rows, vocal shifts and changes of pace. The Bad Seeds give that movement weight, from quieter textures to a wide rock sound. Pula is not a routine festival stop for the band; it is their first meeting with the Arena, a space where silence, words and full-band force can sit in the same evening.

Entry and practical notes

Tickets for the 5 August concert are sold out. Visitors with tickets should plan to arrive early around Pula Arena, as large evening concerts usually create traffic and parking pressure near Flavijevska Street and the old town. The concert starts at 21:00, so allow enough time for parking, entry and finding your place.
