Sting 3.0 at the Pula Arena

Saturday, 01.08.2026. 20:00. h

Sting comes to the Pula Arena with the STING 3.0 tour, performing in a trio format with Dominic Miller and Chris Maas.

The Sting 3.0 concert at the Pula Arena is part of the Adria Summer Festival. Sting performs with long-time guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas, with a selection of major songs and less frequently played titles from his discography.

Sting, Miller and Maas in a trio format

STING 3.0 is not only the name of the tour; it is also a clear sign of how this concert is built. Sting, a musician with 17 Grammy Awards, comes to Pula in a compact line-up that depends on precision, space and a direct relationship between voice, bass, guitar and drums. Dominic Miller is not a casual touring guitarist: his playing has been closely connected with Sting’s solo work for decades, so the trio starts from a collaboration with its own recognizable character. Chris Maas brings a rhythmic foundation to a format where arrangements cannot hide behind a large band. That kind of line-up suits Sting’s catalogue because it leaves room for rhythm, silence, dynamic turns and lyrics. For the audience, this means a concert that does not rely only on nostalgia for hits, but on performances in which familiar songs can be heard more clearly, more closely and with greater attention to the musical exchange between the three performers.

Songs from the solo career and The Police years

The Pula concert is shaped around major hits and rarely played songs from Sting’s wide discography. The final order of songs should not be guessed in advance because tour setlists can change, but the frame is clear: the audience comes to hear a songwriter who connects his solo career, the legacy of The Police, reggae, rock, pop, jazz and songs built around bass, voice and rhythm.
