Lepa Brena Postpones Kriva Palanka Concert After Storm

Lepa Brena canceled tonight’s concert in Kriva Palanka after the weather forecast wrecked the organizers’ plans at the last moment. The singer told her followers on Instagram that the show at the City Stadium in the North Macedonian town is being pushed back one day, to tomorrow, August 30, at the same venue.

“Due to sudden and unfavorable weather conditions, tonight’s concert in Kriva Palanka has unfortunately been postponed,” Brena wrote in a post on her Instagram profile.

The concert was organized around two feast days marked in Kriva Palanka these days, the Assumption of the Most Holy Mother of God and Saint Joachim of Osogovo, the town’s patron saint. The Kriva Palanka municipality had been promoting the program as the biggest music event of the summer, meant to draw generations of fans and visitors from across North Macedonia and beyond.

In the municipality’s official announcement, before the storm scrambled the schedule, the City Stadium was described as the center of the town’s musical happenings, where the audience would enjoy performances by three major music names, each with a distinct style, recognizable hits and, as the announcement put it, an evening full of emotion, energy and top-tier entertainment. The municipality had started counting down to the concert days in advance, with a message that all roads this summer lead to Kriva Palanka.

When is Brena performing in Kriva Palanka?

The concert was originally set for the evening of August 29, at the City Stadium in Kriva Palanka. Because the weather turned abruptly, the show has been moved to the evening of August 30, at the same location. Alongside Brena, the same event is set to feature Aco Pejovic and Slatkar, giving the Kriva Palanka audience three major names of the regional music scene in a single night.

The singer soon posted a second message, promising fans she would make up for the missed evening.

“Thank you for your understanding and patience. See you tomorrow! I promise a wild time!” Brena wrote, also on Instagram.

The decision to postpone came at the last minute, when many concertgoers were already on their way to the City Stadium or had spent the day planning their evening in Kriva Palanka. Even so, Brena kept the announcement short and clear, without detailing exactly what kind of weather drove the audience from the stadium, saying only that conditions had been sudden and unfavorable.

For the organizers, the change of date means the entire program, including the performances by Aco Pejovic and Slatkar, shifts back one day from the original plan, while staying at the same venue with the same lineup. The municipality had promoted the show as an event meant to confirm Kriva Palanka as a town capable of staging performances on the largest scale, and the weather postponement does not change that plan, only pushes it back 24 hours.

So far there has been no word on any change to the schedule or the order of performers for the new date. The latest information remains what Brena herself shared on Instagram: that the Kriva Palanka concert is happening tonight, August 30, at the City Stadium.

Kriva Palanka is a small town in the northeastern part of North Macedonia, close to the borders with Serbia and Bulgaria, and a concert of this scale is not an everyday occurrence there. That is exactly why the municipality had been promoting the show in advance as a spectacle expected to draw visitors from across the country, not just from Kriva Palanka itself. The one-day postponement does not change that math, it only pushes the celebration back 24 hours, and the audience that had already set out for the town now waits one more evening for Brena, Aco Pejovic and Slatkar.
