Split, second largest city in Croatia was, after Šibenik and Rijeka, my third big concert working for Parni Valjak in 2019, probably the biggest rock band in the region, on their "Runda 44" tour.
As expected, gig was amazing, long (almost 3 hours!), hot & sweaty but also quite emotional at moments, especially when the band paid the hommage to the late Oliver Dragojević performing "Nemirno more", song they made together.
All in all, loved every minute of it! :)

Memoriam to Aki and his career, with different singers performing with Parni Valjak. Aki Rahimovski is irreplaceable, but his colleagues did a great job paying respect to his legacy and helped fans to once again hear and enjoy all those favourite songs live.

"Runda 44" tour, marking the 44 years of the band Parni Valjak, continues and I’m very privileged to follow them as their official photographer on the biggest concerts around Croatia!

Parni Valjak, arguably the biggest rock band in the region, is on the "Runda 44" tour and I got hired to photograph few of their bigger concerts in Croatia — amazing venue of Tvrđava sv. Mihovila in Šibenik being the first on my list!

Shooting the sold out concert of the probably the biggest rock’n’roll band in Croatia and one of the biggest in the ex Yugoslavia region, in front of almost 20 000 people as an official photographer for the band with AAA pass is definitely a dream come true for any concert photographer! :)
