Prijovic: 'I want to be with my family', fewer concerts in 2026

Aleksandra Prijovic has made her call. The singer, who has sold out stadiums from Belgrade to Vienna over the past two years, confirmed that 2026 will not bring a classic tour.

In interviews with Press Serbija and Kurir, she said the reason for easing the pace is her children and the need for family routine. The singer stressed that shows will not disappear from her program entirely, but they will be much less frequent.

Family above all

Prijovic gave wanting more time with her children as the reason for the slower pace. Her daughter Arija and son Aleksandar are entering preschool age, and in interviews she has repeatedly said she wants to be present in their daily life.

Her husband, footballer Filip Zivojinovic, has backed her decision. In a statement to a Belgrade paper, Zivojinovic said the family works best when Aleksandra has time for routine with the children.

I want to be with my family. I will not be performing much this year.

In remarks published as part of the Kurir interview, the singer stressed that she will not give up the stage entirely, but there will not be as many shows as there were last year.

What she plans to play

Prijovic said her 2026 shows will be limited to individual events in cities she did not visit during last year’s tour. The expected format is not a classic tour but occasional concerts and privately organized appearances.

Cities mentioned as possible candidates include:

• Ludwigsburg in Germany
• Stuttgart in Germany
• several cities in Scandinavia
• diaspora venues in the United States

Her first 2026 dates fell on February 14 in Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart, marking Valentine’s Day. After those shows, the singer returned to her planned family pace.

The new album

The singer’s central music project for 2026 is a new album. The release date, as relayed by Press Serbija, is set for May or June.

Part of the material was recorded in Belgrade, part in Athens. The full songwriting team has not yet been formally announced. The production has said the album features composers who wrote for the singer during her last tour.

It will be her first record since the two studio albums that pushed Prijovic among the most-listened-to performers in the region.

A break, then a new pace

After concerts in Bar, Zagreb and Belgrade in late December 2025, Prijovic took a break from the stage. The break lasted until her Valentine’s Day shows in Germany.

In her remarks, the singer said she has not been thinking about a return to an intense touring rhythm. Her plan for 2026, she said, is a balance between smaller-format concerts and family life.

Do you think a break after stadium tours is a healthy career move, or a risk that the audience will lose attention?
