Luki returns to the stage at Porat Klub in Split on October 23, 2026. Tickets go up to 30 euros through entrio.hr. The occasion is the new EP "Grad pored luke" ("The Town Beside the Harbour"), the musician's first release after thirteen years of silence.

Dragan Lukić Šagedin, born on the island of Korčula, stopped precisely when the scene expected the most from him. The comeback did not arrive with a big production but with five songs recorded under no pressure from the market or from any trend - the release came out on vinyl through Croatia Records, with download codes included.

The title track "Grad pored luke" is an ode to the old Split, the one that was less hysterical and more empathetic. "Zbogom Anđeli" is a remembrance of people from Croatian culture who are no longer here. And "Srce od zlata" he wrote on the day he learned he was going to be a father - he says himself that the song wrote itself.

Porat is a Split club right on the waterfront, and for this kind of material - intimate, guitar-driven, with no arrangements that demand a concert hall - that is a completely different crowd from the one that turns up at a festival. Split is the town the EP was written for, so the first real test of whether the comeback landed is exactly that night.
