St. Michael’s Fortress in Šibenik (PR)

St. Michael’s Fortress in Šibenik proudly holds the flattering and well-deserved title of one of the most beautiful concert venues.

The unique blend of historical authenticity and location, combined with a spectacular view of the city and surrounding islands, contributes to its special charm, making it a favourite summer concert setting.

This year marks its 10th anniversary, and the past decade has seen a series of fantastic concerts across various music genres, as well as theatre performances, film screenings, and other cultural events.

The venue’s acoustics, the blend of old and new, and the beautiful view of the Adriatic Sea have served as a fantastic stage for numerous international and local artists.

Their sound combines nostalgic and contemporary tones, and they are two-time Grammy winners who have collaborated with some of the biggest names in the hip-hop scene, including Wu-Tang Clan, Kendrick Lamar, and Mick Jenkins. BADBADNOTGOOD’s mix of jazz, hip-hop, and electronics will be introduced by Zagreb DJ Antonio Zuza, whose sound is based on disco and house foundations.

Another date to mark on your calendar is July 22nd, when Grammy winner Gregory Porter will grace the anniversary summer with his performance. The audience will be warmed up by DJ Maestro, the legendary Amsterdam ‘master of vinyl’, known for his Blue Note Trip compilations.
