Contributing WriterGlobally renowned Afro house pioneer Black Coffee is set to perform inside one of the world’s best-preserved Roman amphitheatres this summer when he headlines the first BSH Amphitheatre Pula edition which will take place at the Pula Arena in Croatia on 31st July 2026, with more names to follow.
Located on the Adriatic coast, the Pula Arena is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most striking historic landmarks. Originally constructed during the Roman Empire, the stone amphitheatre has hosted centuries of cultural gatherings and this event marks a rare convergence of contemporary electronic music with ancient heritage. Presented by event powerhouses BSH as part of the Adria Summer Festival, this show will transform the ancient, 2,000-year-old architectural monument and one of the most intact Roman amphitheatres still standing into an epic setting.
Black Coffee is one of electronic music’s most influential figures. The Grammy Award-winning artist is celebrated for blending Afro-house, deep house and soulful electronic sounds in both his sets and productions, and has been hypnotising crowds at major festivals and iconic venues worldwide for more than a decade.
The show follows BSH’s sold-out 2025 hosting of Black Coffee at Cave Romane, where the South African artist delivered one of the standout electronic performances of the summer. For 2026, the concept grows significantly by moving to the larger Arena for what is their most ambitious production to date.
Known for selecting visually and culturally significant locations, BSH has built an international reputation for staging electronic music events that go beyond the traditional club format, combining destination travel, historic settings and high-end production.
