Tom Odell at Arena Pula on August 23 - the voice behind Another Love in a Roman amphitheatre

Tom Odell plays Arena Pula on August 23, which means a song that has gathered billions of streams will be heard in a Roman amphitheatre almost two thousand years old. The British singer and pianist arrives with his band as part of the "A Wonderful Life" tour.

Odell is known above all for "Another Love", a song that grew from an ordinary hit into something else. Together with "Black Friday" it reached billions of plays, but not as a short-lived hit fading after one season, rather as a song people keep returning to. What started as a breakthrough on the British pop scene turned over the past decade into a career built around vulnerability and mental health, subjects Odell sings about with no protective layer.

After the pandemic and the album "Monsters", his writing became even more stripped back and bare, and that is exactly what connected him to a new generation of listeners. His shows are known for intensity and emotional openness, with piano-led arrangements that deliberately leave room for silence. That is not accidental staging: in the Arena, the stone and the open roof make every pause as audible as the note before it.

Tickets cost 59.99 euros, and the concert starts at 20:00. Arena Pula closes the summer with several big names, and Odell is among the last before the season ends. For an audience from Skopje looking to combine a trip through Istria with a concert, this is one of the rare chances to hear a piano in a space that is itself part of the performance.
