Juzni Vetar Stars Ready for Two Tasmajdan Concerts

Rehearsals for the stars of Juzni Vetar have entered their final stretch ahead of two concerts at Tasmajdan, set for Friday, June 26, and Saturday, June 27. Footage from the sessions shows Mile Kitic singing into the microphone, visibly upbeat and, as local outlets report, in top form. That single image confirmed what audiences have been waiting months for: the legend is ready.

The Saturday show on June 27 sold out in record time. The second night, on Friday, June 26, was added only after demand outgrew every forecast. Thousands of messages from fans across Serbia and the region, organizers say, pushed the team to open another evening. What began as a single concert has become a two-day return to the same stage after nearly four decades.

Who is taking the stage?

The lineup is confirmed, and that is news in itself. Tasmajdan will bring together Dragana Mirkovic, Mile Kitic, Kemal Malovcic, Marta Savic, Suzana Jovanovic, Anica Milenkovic, Srecko Susic and Pedja Medenica, alongside other guests. These are the names that defined the golden years of Juzni Vetar, now back on the same bill after almost forty years.

More than five hours of programming are promised, built from the original hits that filled homes and cassette decks for decades. Behind the sound stands the orchestra of Endzija Mavric, and rehearsals with the band are in progress. Clips circulating online suggest this is no half-hearted nostalgia tour, but serious preparation for two packed stadium nights.

For Mile Kitic, the return carries particular weight. Generations grew up on his songs from the Juzni Vetar repertoire, and now, as the rehearsal footage shows, he is back on the stage where he built his career. The cheerful mood and relaxed atmosphere at rehearsals suggest the pressure of a major event has not dampened the spirits of the crew.

Why the return now?

Juzni Vetar is a phenomenon that goes beyond any single concert. For many it is the sound of childhood, the cassettes in a parent’s car and songs everyone knows by heart. The frenzy that followed the first announcement shows the audience has not forgotten, and adding a second date only confirms it. A return after nearly forty years is less a performance than a reunion of generations around the same songbook.

Staging two consecutive concerts at Tasmajdan, with a live orchestra and a lineup of more than eight names, is no small logistical feat. That is exactly why rehearsals are running long, with parts, transitions and the order of hits carefully drilled. What the footage from rehearsals shows looks like a team that knows precisely what it wants audiences to take home.

So, did you grab a ticket for one of the two Tasmajdan nights, or will you follow the spectacle through clips and posts from the scene?
