MOBY

One of the most influential figures in contemporary music, Moby, will arrive at the Pula Arena on July 23, 2026, where he will hold his first solo concert in Croatia. This musical visionary marked the 25th anniversary of his epochal album Play in 2024, and in 2026 he will embark on a new major tour with a completely new live spectacle. Known as the architect of musical emotions, Moby has shaped generations of listeners throughout his three-decade career, combining numerous genres and transforming intimate introspection into global anthems. With more than 20 million albums sold, hits such as "Porcelain", "Natural Blues" and "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?", music for films and series, and collaborations with artists such as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys and Daft Punk, Moby is a historical figure in the electronic scene whose influence transcends genre boundaries. After more than a decade of hiatus, Moby returned to live performances in 2024, and his new tour brings a completely revitalized live concept. The audience in Pula can expect a blend of ambient textures, rave-fueled rhythms and soulful vocals, performed with fresh intensity on the Arena stage. The set list will include his timeless classics, deeper career cuts and new arrangements that combine nostalgia and contemporary sound. All this comes alongside his recognizable activism and long-standing commitment to animal protection. Moby's career began in Harlem, New York, where he was already playing classical music and studying music theory at the age of nine, and he made his first serious steps in the New York punk rock scene in the early 1980s. He achieved his breakthrough with the single "Go" (1991), listed among the best records of all time according to Rolling Stone magazine. Albums such as Everything Is Wrong followed, and the turning point came in 1999 with the album Play, which combines blues and gospel samples with electronics and brings him global fame. In the later stages of his career, Moby fearlessly explored new genres – from punk rock and speed metal to ambient and industrial electropunk music. The album 18 (2002) repeated the worldwide success of Play, while Hotel (2005), recorded without samples, marked a departure from his earlier style. With the side project Moby & The Void Pacific Choir, he released These Systems Are Failing (2016), an album similar in intensity to his previous Animal Rights (1996). The same year, the four-hour ambient album Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep was released. His latest studio album, Always Centered at Night, was released in 2024, as his 22nd studio album. In addition to music, Moby has also distinguished himself as a producer and remixer of artists such as David Bowie, Public Enemy, Ozzy Osbourne, The Beastie Boys and Daft Punk. His production company Little Walnut is behind the award-winning documentaries Moby Doc and Punk Rock Vegan Movie, and a feature film, Tecie, is in the works, set for summer 2026. He also actively supports animal and human rights organizations, including The Humane Society, Emily’s List, and the ACLU. Moby remains an artist who consistently pushes creative boundaries, and his return to the stage is regularly seen as an event of special importance. His first solo concert in Croatia at the Pula Arena will be a unique musical experience that should not be missed. Tickets on sale from November 20 at 11 a.m. via the Eventim system and at retail outlets.
