If they could go from Australia to Zagreb, you can go to Boogaloo and Shalata.

Australians Airbourne and Amyl And The Sniffers will perform in Zagreb this summer, offering fans of hard rock and punk rock two standout shows. Airbourne will play at Boogaloo on July 28, while Amyl And The Sniffers will take the stage at Šalata on August 8. These performances mark a rare opportunity for local audiences to experience top-tier international acts in the Croatian capital during its typically slow summer months. Zagreb has long been a hub for live music, especially during the summer when major festivals and stadium concerts draw crowds. However, the city has often struggled with heat and overcrowding, making it less appealing compared to nearby cities like Ljubljana. Despite these challenges, the city’s concert scene has remained vibrant, particularly due to the European tour schedules of many international artists. From late May through early August, Zagreb hosts more diverse and high-profile performances than any other season, thanks to the alignment of global rock and pop tours with summer festivals and stadium shows. The city's summer concert calendar includes appearances by bands such as The Offspring, A Perfect Circle, Cabaret Voltaire, and the supergroup BEAT, alongside smaller but notable acts like Dwarves. Additionally, venues like Regenerator have hosted performances by groups including Ozric Tentacles. While some major names like Empire Of The Sun, Sepultura, and Sabaton have been omitted from the lineup, the overall quality and variety of performances remain impressive. Fans who have traveled to Šibenik for acts like Robert Plant, Joss Stone, and Lorde, or to Pula for Lenny Kravitz and Ricky Martin, can find similar excitement in Zagreb’s offerings. For those interested in rock and roll, Zagreb’s summer schedule promises highlights from Australia. Airbourne, known for their hard rock sound, will bring their energy to Boogaloo on July 28. The band, which originated in Warrnambool, has performed at major festivals and shared stages with legendary acts such as Led Zeppelin, Guns N’ Roses, and Motorhead. Their presence in Zagreb marks a return after previous performances at INmusic and the Tvornica Kulture venue. Airbourne has toured extensively over the past 25 years, playing over 1,000 shows and traveling more than three million kilometers. They recently released their sixth album, “Airbourne,” following earlier works like “Boneshaker” and “Breakin’ Outta Hell.” Amyl And The Sniffers, another Australian act, will perform at Šalata on August 8. Known for their punk rock style, they represent a different but equally compelling side of the Australian music scene. Both bands offer distinct yet powerful musical experiences, making them ideal choices for fans of rock and alternative genres. As the summer progresses, Zagreb continues to attract international performers, ensuring a dynamic and varied concert landscape. With Airbourne and Amyl And The Sniffers set to deliver their respective shows, the city’s music scene remains one of the most active in the region. Fans of rock and punk rock should not miss these opportunities to witness world-class performances in a unique setting.
