Moby Live 2026 tour in Balkans

Overview

The European leg of Moby’s “Live 2026” tour continued to draw strong interest in the Balkans. After a sold-out show at Belgrade’s Kalemegdan fortress on 21 July, the artist performed his first solo concert in Croatia on 23 July at the historic Pula Arena. The amphitheatre filled to capacity, with thousands of attendees, many of them local fans and visitors from neighboring countries.

The setlist combined classic tracks from the 1999 album Play—“Porcelain”, “Natural Blues”, “Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?”—with later songs and a surprise rendition of “Bodyrock”. A live band blended synths, guitars and strings, and the performance was billed as one of the tour’s most anticipated stops.

Moby again used the platform to promote his long-standing animal-rights and vegan activism. He showed a video message from primatologist Jane Goodall, referenced charitable proceeds from earlier tour dates, and later filmed a new “Porcelain” video on the Dalmatian coast.

Following his performances, Moby endorsed the 18th ZeGeVege sustainable living festival in Zagreb during a meeting with the organization Friends of Animals in Pula. The festival, scheduled for September 2026, focuses on veganism and environmental responsibility.

Croatian officials and the national tourism board praised the event as a boost for the country’s live-music scene, highlighting the artist’s contribution to cultural tourism. The concert reinforced the growing popularity of electronic-genre legends in the region and set the stage for upcoming shows in Brighton and elsewhere on the tour.
