Croatian music star Jelena Rozga is set to captivate audiences at the Melodije Jadrana festival in Split on June 26. Performing in the unique setting of the Gallery of Ivan Meลกtroviฤ‡, Rozga will deliver a career retrospective accompanied by top musicians and special orchestral arrangements.

The concert promises a journey through her extensive discography, showcasing both her energetic pop anthems and deeply emotional ballads that have resonated with generations. Rozga expressed her excitement and honor at performing in her hometown, especially after her "Minut srca tvog" tour could not include Split due to the Spaladium Arena's closure.

I have great stage fright and a big challenge. I am honored by the invitation. I didn't sing in Split during the 'Minut srca tvog' tour because the Spaladium arena closed, and now I have the opportunity to celebrate my jubilee in my city, in such a location, with great musicians, orchestrated arrangements... I invite everyone to come, and I will perform a new song on the final evening.

Adding to the anticipation, Rozga will also unveil a new song during her performance. She revealed that she is currently deciding between two powerful compositions penned by renowned songwriter Tonฤi Huljiฤ‡, with the final choice pending the lyrics provided by Vjekoslava Huljiฤ‡. The Melodije Jadrana festival itself runs from June 25 to 28, featuring a blend of established artists, new music, and Mediterranean ambiance.

Tonฤi Huljiฤ‡ wrote two phenomenal songs, and it's hard to decide which is better. I told Vjekoslava to write the lyrics, and then I'll decide. I still don't know which one I'll sing.
