Big names to follow for New Year 2027 in Belgrade and beyond

For New Year 2027, the biggest question in this part of the region is no longer only where to go, but which artist you want to spend the last night of the year with. That is exactly why the New Year map feels so exciting this season: the strongest programs are built around major names, and each one brings a different kind of celebration.

If you are planning a trip to Belgrade or deciding between the capital, Zlatibor and the Montenegrin coast, the good news is simple. You do not have to settle for an ordinary night. You can choose between glamorous hotel galas, large concert-style parties and open-air celebrations led by performers who can fill entire halls on their own.

Tea Tairović at Crowne Plaza Belgrade

Tea Tairović is one of the clearest examples of how modern New Year celebrations in Belgrade have changed. Her name alone is enough to shape the whole evening, because she belongs to the very top of today?s regional commercial scene. For guests who want a current hit-driven program with strong energy and a polished hotel setting, Crowne Plaza Belgrade is one of the most attractive addresses for the night of 31 December.

Tea?s repertoire blends folk, pop and oriental influences, and her performance style is known for intensity and direct connection with the audience. That makes her a natural choice for people who want the party to stay lively from start to finish. Crowne Plaza is preparing a festive New Year dinner, while drinks are paid according to consumption, and tickets are divided into several pricing categories.

If your ideal New Year is modern, glamorous and full of momentum, this is one of the strongest options in the city.

Lepa Brena on Zlatibor, then again in Belgrade

Very few artists can turn New Year into a two-city story the way Lepa Brena can. This year she will welcome 2027 on Zlatibor, at Event Center Pjević, a spacious festive venue where different seating categories are available, from bar tables to the Ultra Premium zone. Banket reservations include dinner, while drinks are paid separately according to consumption.

But the real power of this program is not only in the format. It is in the name itself. Brena is one of those rare performers whose songs cross generations and keep returning to weddings, concerts, clubs and private celebrations. That is why a night with her feels familiar even before the first chorus starts. Many guests already know a long list of her songs by heart, and that creates an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and instantly festive.

There is also a second chapter to her holiday schedule. On 1 January, Lepa Brena performs at the reprisal in Hyatt Regency Belgrade. So if you want to spend the New Year period with her, you can choose between Zlatibor on New Year?s Eve or Belgrade on the first day of 2027.

Indira Radić in Hyatt Regency Belgrade

While Brena returns to Hyatt for the reprisal, 31 December in Hyatt Regency Belgrade belongs to Indira Radić. For listeners who grew up with the major wave of regional pop-folk in the late 1990s and 2000s, her name carries an immediate emotional charge. In the Crystal Hall of Hyatt, that familiar repertoire gets a more elegant frame, turning the evening into a full-scale hotel celebration with a very recognizable mood.

Indira is the kind of artist who can move effortlessly between songs that bring back older memories and tracks that still fill the floor today. That makes her program especially appealing to guests who want a New Year with personality, strong singalong moments and a crowd that understands exactly why it came.

If you are drawn to a night built on recognisable hits and warm nostalgia, Hyatt with Indira Radić is one of the most convincing options in Belgrade.

Aca Lukas at Metropol Palace and then on Zlatibor

Aca Lukas is also splitting his New Year presence between more than one stage. For New Year 2027, he is set to perform at Metropol Palace in Belgrade, where the elegant hotel surroundings meet one of the most distinctive concert personalities on the regional scene. That contrast is part of the appeal. Metropol is preparing an exclusive dinner, drinks are charged by consumption, and several categories of tables and bar seats are available.

Lukas does not simply appear as a musical guest. He turns the whole night into a collective experience. His songs have a special place in the memory of the audience, and in a festive hall they often feel less like a set list and more like shared ownership. From the well-known anthems to the ballads that a whole room can take over, his performance style creates exactly the kind of atmosphere many New Year guests are looking for.

And just like Brena, Lukas also has a second holiday stop. On 1 January, he appears at Event Center Pjević on Zlatibor for the New Year reprise. That gives the audience another chance to celebrate with him, whether they choose Belgrade first or the mountain the following evening.

Four major names together at A4 Hall in Belgrade Waterfront

For guests who do not want to commit to just one headliner, A4 Hall in Belgrade Waterfront offers one of the boldest programs in the city. Sloba Radanović, Andreana Cekić, Darko Lazić and Zorana Mićanović will all perform on the same stage, and the event is scheduled from 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. That already says a lot: this is designed as a long concert night, not a simple restaurant party.

The biggest advantage of this concept is variety. Instead of relying on one artist to carry the whole evening, the atmosphere changes with each performer and keeps moving throughout the night. For many guests, that is the ideal New Year formula, especially if they want to hear different styles and avoid a predictable program.

The location adds another layer of appeal. Belgrade Waterfront is already one of the most talked-about parts of the city, and A4 Hall brings a new large event space into the New Year scene. The concept includes an all-inclusive dinner and a defined selection of unlimited drinks, making the whole evening feel like a full celebration from the first course to the final song.

Slađa Allegro and Samo Bob at AS Lazić

At Restaurant AS Lazić, the final night of the year is entrusted to Slađa Allegro and Samo Bob. This is a strong choice for guests who want the room to sing along, not just watch from the table. Slađa has long been one of the artists who fit naturally into celebrations where the audience wants to participate, and her repertoire is full of songs that guests know well enough to sing without hesitation.

Samo Bob adds a different layer to the program, so the night does not stay locked in a single sound. That balance can be especially attractive for groups with mixed tastes. The offer includes a festive dinner and an all-inclusive selection of domestic alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Dzejla Ramovic and Dejan Vrana at Sava Center Banquet Hall

For guests who prefer a more elegant atmosphere, Dzejla Ramovic and Dejan Vrana will welcome 2027 at Sava Center Banquet Hall. Dzejla?s recognizable voice and emotional interpretation give the evening a softer and more refined tone than a typical folk-heavy New Year celebration, while Dejan Vrana brings additional energy and a broader musical range.

This is the kind of program that appeals to people who want glamour, emotion and a polished venue all in one night. The festive dinner is included in the ticket price, while drinks are paid according to consumption. If your idea of New Year is less about noise and more about style, this is one of the most elegant options available in Belgrade.

The regional map is just as strong

Belgrade is not the only place where the biggest names are gathering. The broader region is offering equally attractive choices, especially if you are ready to turn New Year into a short trip.

On the Montenegrin coast, Tivat has confirmed a four-day concert series on the Pine promenade: Peđa Jovanović with Priganitze on 30 December, Ceca Ražnatović and Danijel Alibabić on 31 December, Jakov Jozinović and Akademia Band on 1 January, and Mirza Selimović with Kira Bend on 2 January. Herceg Novi welcomes 2027 with Saša Matić and Dženan Lončarević, while 1 January brings Nataša Bekvalac and Adi Šoše, followed by Aleksandar Sofronijević with orchestra and a guest surprise on 2 January. In Kotor, Zdravko Čolić headlines 31 December at Trg od oruzja, which immediately puts the city among the most desirable open-air destinations. Bar will host Seka Aleksić on New Year?s Eve and Dino Merlin on 1 January at the plateau in front of SC Topolica, while Budva is set to welcome Zeljko Joksimović.

How to choose your New Year 2027

The best part of this season is that the decision starts with the artist, not just the venue. If you want the current pulse of the scene, Tea Tairović is a strong reason to stay in Belgrade. If you want a multigenerational repertoire and a rare holiday schedule, Lepa Brena gives you both Zlatibor and Belgrade. If nostalgia and familiar pop-folk hits matter most, Indira Radić is waiting at Hyatt. If you want a powerful concert personality in a classic hotel setting, Aca Lukas at Metropol Palace is an easy choice. If you like variety and a long night with multiple big names, A4 Hall in Belgrade Waterfront stands out immediately.

That is why New Year 2027 in Belgrade feels so attractive. The city and its surroundings are not offering just one kind of party. They are offering several strong identities, each led by artists who know how to make a holiday night memorable. Add Zlatibor or the Adriatic coast, and the list becomes even more impressive.

No matter which direction you choose, this is the kind of New Year that should be planned with music first and location second.
