New Year is quickly approaching, so it’s time to decide where to spend the holidays and the big night. Belgrade is always good place to be around the New Year, and now we also know the line-up for free concerts which are to be held on the plateau in front of the Parliament building. As Republic Square was recently renovated, one option was to move New Year’s concerts from the plateau to Republic Square, but it was decided that not all in the crowd would see the stage there. Still, the main square will have a big role during the holidays, as a big ice-skating rink will be set there.
Belgrade winter will start on December 1st a last until February 15th. Belgrade’s residents and their guests will enjoy in more than 700 hours of entertainment on 18 locations, many of them in rim municipalities away from the city centre. One of new offers is an open-air cinema On Nikola Pasic’s square, with additional screenings in nearby Kombank Hall. Many additional manifestations and events will be held during the Belgrade winters, such as Orthodox Christmas at St. Sava’s temple, Open heart street, Open heart square, Fairy tale square, and others.
Two nights of open-air concerts on December 30th and 31st are main events of Belgrade winter. The warm-up night is reserved for popular young singers, with a long line-up, including Vuk Mob, Angelina, Gazda Paja, Sara Jo, Mili, Senidah, Cobi, Rasta and MC Stojan. On New Year’s night, older and widely popular singers will take the stage. The night will open with Maja Berović, while main star of the evening will be Lepa Brena, her concert starting at 22.45 and ending at 0.30. After her, band Kiki i piloti will continue the concert, with show ending two hours after midnight.
