November 7, 2019 – Over the last 15 years, Tomorrowland has grown to be one of the world’s largest and most notable music festivals – and we might see a version of it in Pula in the future.
Next to the Pula Arena, one might say that some of the most recognizable products of the town are its music festivals – Outlook and Dimensions. Sadly, 2019 was the final year that Outlook and Dimensions festivals would be held in Pula after they announced a relocation to Sibenik in 2020. The departure of Outlook and Dimensions was expected to be a considerable hit to Pula’s tourism, though it might not be all that bad for this Istrian city in the end. A version of one of the biggest festivals in the world could be calling Pula its new home.
Namely, Glas Istre first wrote about the possibility of Tomorrowland coming to Pula two months ago, and now the story has been confirmed by the director of the Istria Tourist Board, Denis Ivosevic.
Ivosevic told Glas Istre that he is optimistic about Tomorrowland’s arrival in Pula, but that is still not a definitive confirmation that this international spectacle will come to the largest city on the Istrian peninsula. In any case, if it did happen, Pula would again be on the map of the most attractive festival destinations in the world.
Ivosevic added that a music festival, whether it be Tomorrowland or another, would surely make Pula their home.
Tomorrowland is one of the largest and most famous dance and techno music festivals in the world. The first edition took place in 2005 in the Belgian town of Boom near Antwerp, where it is traditionally held during the last weekend of July. Two years ago, the festival was visited by as many as 400,000 people, which are attracted to its mega stages and visual splendor.
Tomorrowland often ranks first in the world’s top music festivals, ahead of Austin City Limits in Texas, Glastonbury, Rock in Rio, Chicago’s Lollapalooza, Burning Man (Black Rock Desert, Nevada), Tennessee’s Bonnaroo, Electric Daisy Carnival in Los Angeles, Coachella, and Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Tomorrowland in Belgium, which has versions in other countries as well, could spark up a new edition in Pula.
