Matija Cvek is coming to Dubrovnik with his band The Funkensteins. On Friday, July 24, 2026, one of the most sought-after Croatian performers of the moment plays the Slavica open-air cinema, starting at 9 pm. A cinema under the open sky turned into a concert stage - a format that suits Cvek perfectly.

Cvek is not just another pop singer. With The Funkensteins he builds a sound that leans deliberately on the funk, soul and rhythm-and-blues tradition - a live section, a groove that isn't programmed on a laptop, and a voice that carries both his own songs and covers of Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson or Dino Dvornik just as convincingly. That is what sets his concerts apart: the audience comes for a performance, not a playback.

The live playing is why tickets for evenings like this go fast. Instead of the studio version of the hits, the crowd gets extended arrangements, improvisations and an energy that the open-air cinema setting amplifies. Slavica in Dubrovnik is one of those places where a summer concert gains an extra dimension - stone, the sea in the background, and a sound that spreads through the night.

Tickets are available through entrio.hr, with an early price of around 26 euros. For those moving along the southern Adriatic this summer, Dubrovnik on July 24 gets an evening worth stopping for.
