Tvornica kulture, Zagreb // Thursday, July 2, 2026
Alternative rock band Black Sonic Pearls will perform before Breaking Benjamin at Zagreb’s Tvornica kulture on July 2, 2026.
Black Sonic Pearls were founded in 2021, and draw inspiration from the Seattle grunge scene of the 90s to more recent alternative metal. Their debut “Sonixomnia” was produced by Grammy-winning Michael Brauer, and in addition to performances in more than 30 countries, they have shared the stage with names such as Slash, Five Finger Death Punch, Guns N’ Roses or Pantera. This summer they will release the EP “Earth Song”, produced by Chris Baseford (Nickelback, Shinedown, Daughtry). It will be followed by a European tour, as well as a UK performance with the American Steel Panther.
As one of the biggest bands on American rock radio for the past 25 years, Breaking Benjamin has had numerous number-one radio singles. They are currently on a major European tour that includes solo concerts and the biggest festival stages, and some shows have already sold out, as has their first show in Croatia.
The band, founded in 1998 by singer Benjamin Burnley, has consistently dominated the rock radio charts. Since their debut “Saturate” and the single “Polyamorous,” Breaking Benjamin has released platinum and gold albums, and has 8.5 billion streams. The release “Aurora” brought them their tenth number one hit on the rock radio charts with the single “Far Away,” while “Ember” debuted at number three on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The new single “Something Wicked” is another announcement of a new album.
With six releases so far, Breaking Benjamin has topped the charts of the best alternative, rock or hard rock albums in numerous countries. The singles “So Cold”, “Sooner Or Later”, “The Diary of Jane”, “Dance with the Devil”, “I Will Not Bow”, “Give Me A Sign”, “Lights Out” brought them global recognition. At the same time, their combination of hard rock and honest lyrics secured them a global fan base. Along with numerous concerts and tours, the band also performed with names like Korn, Papa Roach, Staind or Daughtry.
The opportunity to hear the sound of these hard rock veterans for the first time will be at the Culture Factory this July. The concert is sold out.
