Marija Serifovic, the only Serbian winner of Eurovision, performed at Belgrade’s Sava Center on May 30 at 8 pm as part of her concert series titled The Other Side of the Record. The run of evenings has stacked up one after another, and following a sequence of sold-out dates, an extra one was scheduled because of the strong demand.
This is not an ordinary concert tour. For the occasion, Serifovic has built a programme around songs she has never performed before, evergreen Serbian and foreign tracks by her fellow artists. The audience gets a familiar singer on a familiar stage, but with a set list that is new for her.
What the series The Other Side of the Record offers
The concept centres on songs Marija Serifovic had not previously performed. Instead of her own hits, she takes other people’s numbers, Serbian and foreign, and gives them her own reading. For loyal fans that is a reason to come more than once, because each night carries a different feeling.
Tickets started at 2,500 dinars, which kept the programme within reach of a broad audience. That affordability, combined with interest that has not faded, is what led the nights to sell out one by one.
Why was another date added?
The answer is simple: demand. After a run of sold-out evenings, the organisers decided to open an additional date to accommodate fans who could not secure tickets. During the run, Serifovic addressed the audience emotionally, so several nights took on a personal touch that went beyond the music itself.
With that, the Sava Center has once again become a focal point of the domestic scene, and Marija Serifovic has shown that a concert format can be built around other people’s songs, provided the name behind them is one the audience follows.
Would you go to a concert where your favourite singer performs nothing but other artists’ songs?
