Ceca in Frankfurt: 'The diaspora sang every hit in unison'
Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic played a concert in Frankfurt on Monday May 25 as part of the 'The Best of' tour; the hall was sold out, with audiences from Germany and neighbouring countries, Novosti reports.
Svetlana Ceca Raznatovic played a solo concert in Frankfurt on Monday May 25 as part of the current “The Best of” tour, with a sold-out hall to which, according to Novosti, audiences arrived from across Germany and from neighbouring countries. Frankfurt promoter Music Elite Event billed the show as the first German date of the 2026 tour.
The set, which the same report says opened with “Oprostajna vecera,” ran through “Beograd,” “Da raskinem sa njom,” “Kukavica,” “Nece da budem ko masina,” “Znam,” and “Gore od ljubavi,” together with a block of 1990s tracks that have for years been the backbone of her solo shows. The promoter sold standing tickets at 55 euros and balcony tickets at 75 euros.
“The diaspora sang every hit in unison,” Novosti reports from the venue, describing audiences who “screamed her name” through the show. The hall, by the same account, was full to the last seat, and the concert was described as “filled with excitement and positive musical energy.” Frankfurt’s Music Elite Event Hall is a venue with capacity for several thousand spectators, regularly used for Balkan tours.
Before Frankfurt, the singer played a concert at the Belgrade Arena on May 14 as part of the “The Best of” tour, and a Zurich date earlier. Through her management, comment to our portal had not arrived by publication, but the singer posted a video on her Instagram of the venue audience singing the chorus of “Beograd.”
The “The Best of” tour was launched at the end of 2025 and consists of a series of solo concerts in medium and large venues, focused on European cities with significant Serbian and regional diaspora populations. The singer has played the same format in Ljubljana, Vienna, Zurich and Dusseldorf, with fragments posted regularly by fans on social media.
After Frankfurt, the tour continues with Swiss dates announced by the German promoter for the autumn. The New Year’s 2026 show, already on sale via novagodina.rs, will be in Belgrade, where the singer is promoting her own event.
Ceca is currently in the 23rd year of her solo career, with a discography of more than 20 albums and the status of record holder for sold-out concert dates at Stark Arena among domestic performers. May 14 at Belgrade Arena, by official ticketing data, was her second sold-out arena date of 2026.
