BLACK COFFEE ANNOUNCES OPEN-AIR SHOW AT ROMAN AMPHITHEATRE IN CROATIA

Globally renowned Afro house pioneer Black Coffee is set to perform inside one of the world’s best-preserved Roman amphitheatres this summer when he headlines the first BSH Amphitheatre Pula edition which will take place at the Pula Arena in Croatia on 31st July 2026, with more names to follow.

 

Located on the Adriatic coast, the Pula Arena is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most striking historic landmarks. Originally constructed during the Roman Empire, the stone amphitheatre has hosted centuries of cultural gatherings and this event marks a rare convergence of contemporary electronic music with ancient heritage. Presented by event powerhouses BSH as part of the Adria Summer Festival, this show will transform the ancient, 2,000-year-old architectural monument and one of the most intact Roman amphitheatres still standing into an epic setting. 

 

Black Coffee is one of electronic music’s most influential figures. The Grammy Award-winning artist is celebrated for blending Afro-house, deep house and soulful electronic sounds in both his sets and productions, and has been hypnotising crowds at major festivals and iconic venues worldwide for more than a decade. 

 

The show follows BSH’s sold-out 2025 hosting of Black Coffee at Cave Romane, where the South African artist delivered one of the standout electronic performances of the summer. For 2026, the concept grows significantly by moving to the larger Arena for what is their most ambitious production to date.

 

Known for selecting visually and culturally significant locations, BSH has built an international reputation for staging electronic music events that go beyond the traditional club format, combining destination travel, historic settings and high-end production.

 

Tickets are available now via Entrio.

DENNIS FERRER AND DERRICK CARTER HEADLINE MINISTRY OF SOUND X HARD TIMES SHOWCASE FOR 35 YEARS AT MIAMI MUSIC WEEK

The special showcase is the next stop in the club’s World Tour, celebrating its 35th anniversary. 

Ministry of Sound announces the next stop in its 35-Year World Tour with a special collaboration with Hard Times for Miami Music Week. On Friday, 27th, headliners Dennis Ferrer, Derrick Carter, HoneyLuv, and more will unite at Sable Miami, a new indoor-outdoor venue with a state of the art soundsystem from 7 pm until 4 am.

 

The collaboration marks the next stop in Ministry of Sound's year-long 35-city world tour spanning six continents and the first time in its history that the brand has embarked on a global run at this scale. Having launched in Dubai earlier this year with Armand Van Helden, DJ Tennis and Honeyluv, it now arrives in Miami for a collaboration with Hard Times, the UK club night and influential label that has championed US house in the UK since the early 1990s. 

 

MoS has a long-standing history with Hard Times, and we’ve hosted many incredible parties together over the last 35 years,” says Jared McCulloch, Head of Live at Ministry of Sound. “We’ve recently reignited the relationship by holding quarterly events at our London home. To celebrate this renewed partnership, we felt it was only right to host a show in Miami for the esteemed Music Week as part of 35th birthday tour."

 

The event will take place across the indoor vinyl listening lounge and open-air Garden at Sable Miami. Inside, the design-led space is built for immersive listening and late-night sessions, boasting a high-fidelity sound system in an intimate space. Outdoors, The Garden offers an elevated open-air setting surrounded by greenery, complete with a state-of-the-art sound system. 

 

Leading the bill is US house heavyweight Dennis Ferrer, the Objektivity boss known for shaping modern soulful house, alongside Chicago figurehead Derrick Carter, a long-standing architect of the genre whose influence runs from underground basements to global festival stages. The lineup also features a special b2b from HoneyLuv and FLETCH, plus Olive F alongside Chuck Daniels b2b Doorly, Misturada, Tony Deep Disco, Jake Mercer, Foz and Travis Casa, ensuring a full-spectrum journey through house’s past, present and future.

 

With Ministry of Sound celebrating 35 years at the forefront of global dance culture and Hard Times continuing its legacy as one of house music’s most influential imprints, this Miami Music Week collaboration promises a properly authentic session for discerning heads.
