Deep Purple in Belgrade Arena: Jayler Opens at 8 PM
Saturday's MAD IN EUROPE tour stop has Jayler as the opening act at 8 PM. Organizers say tickets are almost sold out, and the remaining ones are on sale in several places.
The evening at Belgrade Arena starts before Deep Purple even steps on stage: on Saturday, October 10, 2026, the band Jayler plays first, at 8 PM. Only after that does the headliner come on, as part of the European MAD IN EUROPE tour.
The news about the opening act arrived a day before the concert, together with a message from the organizers that almost all tickets are sold out. We previously reported that Deep Purple play the Arena on Saturday, October 10. Now we also know who opens the night, and that buyers have little time and few tickets left.
What is known about the evening’s schedule?
So far, only the start is confirmed: Jayler takes the stage at 8 PM. The published announcement gives no door opening time and no exact hour for Deep Purple’s entrance, so anyone planning to attend will have to ask the organizers for that. Ticket prices are not listed in the announcement either. About Jayler itself, only the name and the start time have been published, which makes this the only reliable information on the opening of the night.
What does the band bring to the Arena?
The announcement leans on recognizable guitar riffs, the sound of the Hammond organ and songs that shaped the history of world rock, among them “Smoke on the Water” and “Highway Star”. The rest of the setlist has not been published, and the announcement only mentions “other classics.”
More than half a century after laying the foundations of hard rock, Deep Purple have sold more than 130 million albums and played thousands of concerts around the world. On this tour, Belgrade is one of the stops where the band plays for a home audience.
Where can tickets still be bought?
The remaining tickets, however many there are, are sold in three ways:
- on the efinity.rs website and in the eFinity mobile app
- at the box offices of Sava Centar, Belgrade Arena and Dom Omladine Beograda
- at more than 1,000 Moj kiosk locations across Serbia
Sales are not limited to the capital, since the kiosks cover the whole country, so buying a ticket does not depend on getting to a box office in Belgrade.
The organizers call this the last moment to secure a place, and with the concert tomorrow, there is practically no time left to think it over. Anyone who does decide to go should plan for two acts, the first of which starts at 8 PM.
