Ceca at the Arena: 5,000 voices singing until midnight

Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic performed at the Belgrade Arena on May 14 in front of a full house, closing out the first leg of the spring portion of her “The Best Of” tour, Novosti reports from the venue. According to data from the Tickets.rs portal, tickets for the Belgrade date were sold out more than several months before the show, with prices starting at 14,400 dinars.

This is the fifth time in the past year that the singer has filled the same venue in New Belgrade. Two earlier concerts at Jahorina and a show in Pozarevac served as the warm-up for the Belgrade block. With a setlist drawing on hits from three decades of her career, Raznatovic also offered the audience covers of songs she rarely performs live, Novosti reports.

After Belgrade came a date in Zurich, where she performed a concert set similar to the one at the Arena in front of an audience of roughly 5,000 at the Kongresshaus, according to the same source. Interest from the diaspora, as Novosti reporters noted, was enough for the Swiss tickets to sell out almost immediately after going on sale.

The next scheduled date is summer in Leskovac, after the 2025 “Rostiljijada” festival. Raznatovic said in an earlier statement to the same paper that the southern Serbian audience “always gives back three times more than I do”, which, after last year’s success, she cited as the reason for a quick return. A separately announced New Year’s Eve 2026 concert at Zlatibor is already part of the official rollout.

A statement from her management did not reach our portal before this article went to press, but posts on the singer’s official Instagram account show that, after Zurich, preparation work on a new single is planned. The release date, according to the post, will be announced during June.

Public attention also turned to the singer’s choice of outfit for the Belgrade promotion event covered by Novosti, a linen ensemble paired with heels, part of a string of polished, off-stage appearances by Raznatovic that contrasts with her concert wardrobe. According to the same paper, the stylists she works with are preparing an entirely new collection for the autumn tour, with an emphasis on the costumes for the next arena opening.

Ticket prices, per tickets.rs data, ranged from 14,400 to 28,800 dinars, in a price band that domestic stars rarely command for a solo Arena date. The Belgrade Arena has a capacity of more than 19,000 seats for music performances, which makes the Belgrade date one of the biggest solo concerts on the domestic showbiz calendar in 2026. According to a Belgrade Arena press release, the schedule for the second half of the year will be published at the end of June.

The next scheduled stop on the “The Best Of” tour is Leskovac, with Jahorina as the previously played date. Per a post on Raznatovic’s official site, the organizers will announce dates for other regional cities by year-end.
