Halid Muslimović at Arena Zagreb: 27 December at 8 pm

Halid Muslimović marks 45 years on stage at Arena Zagreb. According to the Arena, it is his first big hall concert in Zagreb since 1995, when he sang at Dom sportova (Arena Zagreb). The night is part of a regional anniversary tour and takes its name from his song "Mene je učilo vrijeme". It also closes the hall's winter season: the official calendar lists 15 concert and show nights from 6 November to 27 December, with Halid as the last one (Concerts at Arena Zagreb).

Start, finish and doors

The concert starts at 8 pm on Sunday 27 December 2026, according to Upad, which gives 11 pm as the finish. By 6 November neither the Arena nor Upad had published a door time or a guest act. The concert falls on the Sunday after St Stephen's Day, the public holiday on 26 December.

The programme: 45 years of hits

Upad describes the night as a run through his biggest hits and key moments. The Arena names "Nevjesta", "Slušaj majko moju pjesmu", "Prsten moje majke", "Ne troši suze", "Dunjo moja" and "Ugasila si me" among them, plus the title song "Mene je učilo vrijeme" (Arena Zagreb). His songs mix folk with light pop and have filled weddings and family parties in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for decades.

By tram, bus or car on a Sunday night

Trams 7 and 14 run to the Savski gaj-rotor stop, a 10-minute walk from the hall, the Arena says (Arena Zagreb: getting there). Line 14 comes via Trg bana Jelačića, line 7 via the bus station. Bus 234 links the main railway station with the Arena Zagreb stop in front of the hall.

On the way back, the last tram 14 towards Mihaljevac passes Savski gaj-rotor between 23:20 and 23:45, depending on the day (ZET). If the night ends at 11 pm as listed, that leaves 20 to 45 minutes for the 10-minute walk. Drivers park east of the hall at Lidl, west in the car park and garage of the Arena Centar shopping centre, or north at Plodine (Arena Zagreb: parking).

Between Christmas and New Year in Zagreb

Advent in Zagreb runs until 7 January 2027, so the markets are open on the concert night (Advent in Zagreb). Tram 14 runs from Trg bana Jelačića straight to Savski gaj-rotor, so an afternoon at the markets fits before the show. In the week before Christmas the Arena hosts Vinča on 21 December and Indira Forza on 23 December (Vinča at Arena Zagreb, Indira Forza at Arena Zagreb). Four days after the concert Zagreb celebrates New Year's Eve; the city programmes are on New Year's Eve in Croatia.
