The eighth edition of Trag u beskraju will bring four emotionally charged concerts dedicated to the legacy of one of Croatia's greatest musicians, Olivera Dragojević, in Velika Luka this July. The event runs from July 26 to 31 and features performances by notable artists, including tributes to Dragojević’s music through special concert nights. Among the highlights are two exclusive shows titled “Prijatelji s baluna” and “Nina Badrić & Ante Gelo Acoustic Orchestra,” both offering unique interpretations of Dragojević’s hits. The festival begins with a sea-side concert on July 26 aboard a ship operated by Jadrolinija. Performers include Marko Tolja, Iva Ajduković, Mario Pavlić, and Ante Gelo Band, creating an intimate atmosphere blending music with the rhythm of the sea. On Tuesday, July 28, the event includes a morning concert titled “Mladi pjevaju Olivera” at Đardino, followed by a book promotion of Oliver, Sve nježne riječi svijeta, authored by professor Zorana Curić, held in the atrium of the Cultural Center at 8 p.m. The climax of the festival takes place on July 29 with a concert on a floating stage near the harbor in Velika Luka. Artists such as Petar Grašo, Zorica Kondža, Nina Badrić, Matija Cvek, Ivica Sikirić Ićo, Jakov Jozinović, Marko Tolja, Iva Ajduković, Ines Tričković, and Klapa Ošjak will perform. This concert will be broadcast live on HRT and continue with a performance by Ante Gelo Band after the television transmission.

The first of these, “Prijatelji s baluna,” will feature Dražen Zečić, Alen Nižetić, Giuliano, Hari Rončević, and Pero Panjković performing beloved hits associated with Dragojević. These performers, who were close friends of the late artist, aim to deliver a night filled with nostalgia and emotional resonance.
