GoatHell Open Sea 2026

Hell on the open sea.

Zbog navedenih okolnosti, koje smo već naveli, ovogodišnji GoatHell selimo na more i postaje "BoatHell"!

Ove godine čeka vas potpuno drugačije izdanje festivala. Isplovit ćemo iz Pulske luke, nekoć jedne od najvažnijih ratnih luka Austro-Ugarske Monarhije, te zaploviti uz brodogradilište Uljanik, nekadašnji Arsenal der k.u.k. Kriegsmarine, glavno mornaričko brodogradilište austro-ugarske ratne mornarice u Puli. Proći ćemo pokraj monumentalnog pulskog lukobrana, dugog oko 1.200 metara, i zaploviti prema Brijunskom arhipelagu. Putem ćemo prolaziti uz brojne utvrde, baterije i druge fortifikacije izgrađene uoči Prvog svjetskog rata, koje i danas svjedoče o vremenu kada je Pula bila jedna od najvažnijih vojno-pomorskih baza Europe.

Brijunski arhipelag čini 14 otoka i otočića, a njegova povijest seže duboko u prošlost — od rimskih ostataka i antičkih vremena, preko stoljeća različitih vladara, pa sve do razdoblja kada su Brijuni postali ljetna rezidencija Josipa Broza Tita i jedno od važnih mjesta tadašnje jugoslavenske diplomacije. Na Brijunima su boravili brojni državnici, kraljevi, predsjednici i druge svjetski poznate osobe, među kojima Jawaharlal Nehru, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Nikita Hruščov, Haile Selassie, Angelina Jolie, Vanessa Redgrave, Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton i brojni drugi.

A sve to prije nego što uopće počne koncert!

Možda nam se putem pridruže i dupini, a gotovo sigurno ćemo uživati u jednom od najljepših zalazaka sunca na Jadranu. More, povijest, utvrde, Brijuni, zalazak sunca — i onda kreće pakao na brodu!

Na pozornicu stižu: Impaled Nazarene · Godiva · Extreme Smoke 57

Plovidbu nastavljamo dalje, sve do područja u ravnini starog istarskog gradića Bala. Nakon toga okrećemo pramac prema Puli i vraćamo se u ranim jutarnjim satima, puni dojmova, dima, metala i morske soli.

150 ljudi. Jedan brod. Tri benda. More, Brijuni, zalazak sunca i metal do jutra.

Vidimo se na GoatHell Open Sea 2026!

Važne informacije

Mjesto ukrcavanja i točno vrijeme isplovljavanja objavit ćemo naknadno na našim društvenim mrežama. Brod će isploviti točno u najavljeno vrijeme, najvjerojatnije oko 18:00 sati. Molimo sve posjetitelje da na mjesto ukrcavanja dođu najmanje 30 do 60 minuta ranije.

Posjetiteljima koji dolaze izvan Pule preporučujemo da do mjesta ukrcavanja dođu taxijem, budući da parking na pulskoj Rivi nije besplatan. Ako ipak dolazite automobilom, preporučujemo parkiralište na pulskoj Karolini.

Vlastita pića na brodu nisu dopuštena. Brod ima vlastiti šank na kojem će biti dostupno više vrsta pića po prihvatljivim cijenama.

Broj ulaznica je strogo ograničen na samo 150 komada.

Due to the circumstances mentioned earlier, this year's GoatHell is moving to the sea — and GoatHell is becoming "BoatHell"!

This year, we're bringing you a completely different edition of the festival. We'll set sail from the Port of Pula, once one of the most important naval ports of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and cruise past the Uljanik shipyard, once known as the Arsenal of the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine, the main shipyard of the Austro-Hungarian Navy in Pula. We'll pass the monumental Pula breakwater, approximately 1,200 metres long, and set course towards the Brijuni archipelago. Along the way, we'll sail past numerous forts, batteries and other fortifications built in the years leading up to the First World War.

The Brijuni archipelago consists of 14 islands and islets, with a history stretching far back into the past — from Roman times and ancient settlements, through centuries of different rulers, to the period when Brijuni became the summer residence of Josip Broz Tito and an important location for Yugoslav diplomacy. Over the years, Brijuni hosted numerous heads of state, kings, presidents and other internationally renowned figures, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Nikita Khrushchev, Haile Selassie, Angelina Jolie, Vanessa Redgrave, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and many others.

And all of this before the concert even begins!

We might even spot some dolphins along the way, and we'll get to witness one of the most beautiful sunsets on the Adriatic. The sea, history, fortifications, Brijuni, the sunset — and then the hell on the boat begins!

Taking the stage: Impaled Nazarene · Godiva · Extreme Smoke 57

We'll continue sailing towards the area opposite the old Istrian town of Bale. From there, we'll turn back towards Pula and return in the early hours of the morning, full of memories, smoke, metal and sea salt.

150 people. One boat. Three bands. The sea, Brijuni, a sunset and metal until morning.

See you at GoatHell Open Sea 2026!

We set sail from Pulska Riva, cruising past the Uljanik shipyard and the 1,200-metre Pula breakwater towards the Brijuni archipelago — 14 islands steeped in history, from Roman ruins to Tito's summer residence.
