RELATED | UMAG MUSIC NIGHTS schedule

This year's Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag music program got underway with a performance by Parni Valjak, the legendary Croatian pop-rock band whose career spans more than five decades, 20 studio albums and more than 1,000 concerts. The Dance Arena came alive with songs that have defined different eras of the band's remarkable career, as the crowd sang along from the very first notes of classics including "Ljubavna," "Zastave," "Uhvati ritam," "Moja je pjesma lagana" and "Moja glava, moja pravila."

The opening concert marked the start of this year's Umag Music Nights, a concert series that will run throughout the tournament. Visitors can look forward to more than 100 hours of live music, while resident DJ Antonio Pren will warm up the Dance Arena every evening ahead of performances by regional artists and internationally acclaimed DJs.

Mambo Kings take the stage on Sunday, followed by Superstar Show Italia on Monday, while Tuesday belongs to Senidah, known for her distinctive blend of trap, R&B, pop and electronic music.

The spotlight turns to Wednesday, when Shaquille O'Neal arrives in Umag under his DJ name, DJ Diesel. Widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, he has also built a successful career on the international electronic music scene in recent years. He will perform in the Dance Arena alongside his son, DJ and producer Myles O'Neal.

Following Thursday's concert by Prljavo kazaliste, the final two nights of Umag Music Nights are reserved for two major names on the global club scene. On Friday, Fedde Le Grand, the Dutch DJ and producer whose hits and remixes have shaped the past two decades of electronic music and earned him performances at the world's biggest festivals and clubs, takes the stage. The music program concludes on Saturday with Dombresky, the French DJ and producer with more than 100 million streams, known for his high-energy house sets and performances at festivals including Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella.

Entry to all concerts is free for tournament visitors.
