September 18, 2019 -  We are less than a month away from the Chemical Brothers spectacle at Dom Sportova, a concert that will bring back world-class content to one of the biggest stages in Zagreb.

The Chemical Brothers are coming to Zagreb at the time of their greatest maturity; with a new concert tour and impressive new visuals. Tom Rowland and Ed Simons visit Zagreb as the frontrunners of British electronic sound, and the co-creators of the successful big beat and its breakthrough into the orbit of pop culture. They released their current album 'No Geography' this year, marking the global festival season as the headliners on some of the world’s biggest stages - from Glastonbury to Fuji Rock.

The British big beat duo has released 24 albums throughout their career, including nine studio records, one live album, five compilations, two remix albums, five mixed albums, and one soundtrack. Six albums finished in the top of the UK charts, and three records were named platinum.

Zagreb's Dom Sportova will witness a galaxy of hits, with one recognizable song after the next. Among the electro-music classics are 'Hey Boy Hey Girl', 'Come with Us', 'Galvanize', 'Do It Again', 'Go', 'Star Guitar' and 'Wide Open', and new hit singles 'Free Yourself' and 'Eve of Destruction'.

The British duo's performances bring pure hedonism, combining large video screens, psychedelic images, and expressive light shows with strobes and lasers. It is reminiscent of an exciting thriller, which completely captures the attention of your senses. The Chemical Brothers are considered one of the most interesting live performers in history.

The visual aesthetics are one of the characteristics that accompany Tom and Ed throughout their creative work. The videos are filled with metaphors, illustrations, symbolism, and rotating video solutions, which makes it similar to live performances. "We have one of the most natural approaches to the stage," Ed Simons pointed out, "the show is very psychedelic; we care about how we convey the stimuli and messages we bring to our visuals."

The Chemical Brothers are primarily remembered for their collaborations, like using Oasis singer Liam Gallagher for the song 'Setting Sun', Beck in the single 'Eide Open', Q-Tip in the hit 'Galvanize' and Bernard Sumner in the theme 'Out of Control'. Other notable collabs include Kele Okereke ('Believe'), Beth Orton ('Alive Alone'), The Flaming Lips ('The Golden Path'), Willy Mason ('No Path to Follow'), St. Vincent ('Under Neon Lights'), Hope Sandoval ('Asleep from Day') and Richard Ashcroft ('The Test').

Although the Chemical Brothers are no stranger to playing in Croatia, this will be their first major solo show in the Croatian capital. Unlike their appearances at festivals, the Chemical Brothers solo show is a complete set of the duo’s most successful songs, allowing them to experiment and place total focus on their repertoire from all stages of their career.

A Chemical Brothers show ensures you escape from reality and plunge into your imagination, and this concert at Dom Sportova in Zagreb promises nothing less. 

You can see the Chemical Brothers debut in Zagreb on October 12th. 

Tickets are available here.

Fans of electronic music are ecstatic about today’s news - The Chemical Brothers are coming to Dom Sportova in Zagreb on October 12 for their first performance in Croatia’s capital!

For more than 20 years, The Chemical Brothers have defined electronic music. Their live performances evolved from modest London clubs to the world's biggest stages, and the core idea remained the same: their concert creates a transcendental audio-visual space where the audience can fully let loose, reports Muzika.hr on July 14, 2019.

This electronic duo doesn’t just perform DJ sets, but a complete visual spectacle accompanied by unbelievable production, creating a whole new experience and one of the most entertaining live shows out there.

The group was founded by Manchester duo Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons who, along with the Prodigy and Fat Boy Slim, is considered one of the pioneers of the electronic music genre. The latest, ninth album "No Geography" released a couple of months ago is a critic favorite and has received international praise. 

The last time The Chemical Brothers played in Croatia was at the Ultra Europe music festival in Split in 2015 and Novalja on the island of Pag in 2010.

Tickets are on sale through Eventim (and Rockmark in Zagreb) for 430 kuna for the floor and 350 kuna for the stands.
