Sting is coming back to the Pula Arena. On August 1, inside a Roman amphitheatre that has stood for nearly two thousand years, starting at 8 p.m., the British legend plays his „Sting 3.0" tour as part of the Adria Summer Festival - his first Pula date in nine years.

Sting is one of the biggest names in music, full stop - a 17-time Grammy winner, first as the frontman of The Police, then across a long solo career. „Sting 3.0" is pared down to a trio: him, his longtime collaborator and virtuoso guitarist Dominic Miller, and the high-energy drummer Chris Maas. The concept is deliberately bare - less production, more music - and critics and crowds across the world have already rewarded it with sold-out halls and glowing reviews.

The setting is half the story. The Pula Arena is one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres on the planet, and a concert inside it offers something no ordinary hall can - Sting's classics under open sky, between stone walls two thousand years old. The setlist, by the announcements, mixes the biggest hits with rarely played songs from his deep catalogue.

Tickets are on sale through Eventim and Entrio. The concert starts at 8 p.m. on August 1 at the Pula Arena in Pula, Croatia.
