Željko Joksimović at Arena Zagreb: 4 and 5 December, 8 pm

Two nights in a row: Željko Joksimović brings his LIVE TOUR 26/27 to Arena Zagreb as the Extra koncert godine. 4 December was announced first. The organiser opened 5 December because of high demand, Upad says, and has listed it since 12 October (Upad: 5 December). Both nights fall on the second Advent weekend in Zagreb, which makes them an easy addition to a trip to the markets (Advent in Zagreb).

Tickets and prices on Upad

Upad.hr sells the tickets, and Upad names The Unique d.o.o. as the organiser. On 7 November both nights were on sale and no category was marked sold out. Friday has seven categories and Saturday six: Upad lists the upper stand for 4 December only (Upad: 4 December, Upad: 5 December). Prices are the same on both nights. The cheapest ticket costs 25 euros and the VIP box, the most expensive, 100 euros. Upad adds a fee of 1.50 euros per ticket to every price.

Seats are chosen on the hall plan on Upad. With the fee, four tickets cost 106 euros on the floor, 126 euros in the Fan Pit and 146 euros on the lower stand. Four seats on the upper stand on 4 December also come to 106 euros. Parking inside the Arena complex is reserved for VIP ticket holders, the Arena says (Arena Zagreb: parking).

Start and finish on each night

Both concerts start at 8 pm, according to Upad. It gives 10 pm as the finish on Friday and 11 pm on Saturday. By 7 November neither the Arena nor Upad had published a doors time or a guest act. The Arena describes the 4 December concert on its event page (Arena Zagreb), and Upad describes the second night. Both evenings come just before the second Sunday of Advent on 6 December.

The programme: hits and film music

The Arena and Upad name "Drska ženo plava", "Supermen", "Vreteno", "Devojka", "Varnice", "Milimetar", "Nisam te zbog lepote voleo", "Nije ljubav stvar" and "Leđa o leđa", plus songs from the films Joksimović wrote music for. He is a singer, composer, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist. At the Eurovision Song Contest he came second in 2004 with "Lane moje" and third in 2012 with "Nije ljubav stvar". Extra FM named him as the Extra koncert godine artist in March 2026 (Index.hr).

By tram, bus or car

Trams 7 and 14 run to the Savski gaj-rotor stop, a 10-minute walk from the hall, the Arena says (Arena Zagreb: how to get there). Tram 14 comes through Trg bana Jelačića, tram 7 past 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). After a 10 pm finish on Friday there is plenty of time. On Saturday, after an 11 pm finish, that leaves 20 to 45 minutes for the 10-minute walk. By car, you can park east of the hall at Lidl, west at the Arena Centar shopping centre car park and garage, or north at Plodine (Arena Zagreb: parking).

The weekend in Zagreb

Advent in Zagreb starts on 28 November and runs to 7 January 2027, so the markets are open on both concert nights (Advent in Zagreb). Tram 14 runs directly from Trg bana Jelačića to Savski gaj-rotor, which fits an afternoon at the markets before the concert. Josipa Lisac also sings at Lisinski on the Saturday, and Lisinski lists that concert as sold out (Lisinski). The Arena's official calendar continues with Dražen Zečić on the 12th, Severina on the 15th, Miroslav Škoro on the 19th, the Supertalent final on the 20th, Vinča on the 21st, Indira Forza on the 23rd and Halid Muslimović on 27 December (Severina at Arena Zagreb, Vinča at Arena Zagreb, Indira Forza at Arena Zagreb, Halid Muslimović at Arena Zagreb).
