Milance Radosavljevic Nears Tasmajdan Sellout
The singer's first major Belgrade concert in more than five decades is set for July 3, with fewer than 500 tickets left before a full sellout.
- The Tasmajdan concert is set for July 3 at 8:30 p.m., his first major Belgrade show in more than five decades on stage.
- Fewer than 500 tickets remain, and the VIP section sold out in just 48 hours.
- On the opening day, 20 percent of capacity sold in under six hours.
- He will premiere a new song, recorded after many years, for the audience for the first time.
Milance Radosavljevic is selling out Tasmajdan before he has even stepped on stage. Fewer than 500 tickets remain for his first major Belgrade concert, set for July 3 at 8:30 p.m., and the VIP section vanished in just 48 hours. For a performer with more than five decades on stage, this is his first solo show of this scale in the capital.
The numbers speak for themselves. On the opening day of sales, 20 percent of capacity was gone in under six hours. VIP tickets, usually the most expensive and slowest to move, were the first to disappear this time. What was left for the last buyers came down to a few hundred seats in the general section, so a full sellout is expected before the lights at Tasmajdan even go up.
Why now, after all these years?
Milance built his career over decades, yet he never gave himself a big Belgrade concert. “I have waited 60 years for this,” he said when tickets went on sale, and it is hard to find a better line to describe what the show means to him. For a singer of his standing, Tasmajdan is not just another date on the calendar, but proof that audiences still buy tickets to hear him live.
The interest does not stop at old hits. Milance has announced that he will premiere a new song, recorded after many years away, for the first time in front of the audience. Debuting a new track before a packed Tasmajdan is a risk few take, because a fresh number in front of several thousand people can land beautifully or go completely unnoticed. He is clearly confident in what he is bringing.
What does a sellout like this say about the folk scene?
The speed at which tickets vanished shows that the appetite for old-school singers has not faded, even though the pop-folk scene today is shaped by younger performers and reality-show stars. Milance lacks the marketing machinery of the biggest names, yet in a few hours he moved figures many younger colleagues would envy. The audience that has remembered his songs for years was clearly waiting for a chance to repay him.
For the organizers this is close to an ideal scenario, a sold-out venue without heavy media fanfare and without the need for extra guest performers to fill the seats. For Milance himself, the concert is the crown of a career that ran for decades away from the loudest headlines, but with a loyal audience now gathering in one place.
There is not much time left before July 3, and fewer tickets by the hour. Will you manage to grab one of the last seats for Tasmajdan, or will you follow Milance’s big comeback from the sidelines?
