Lepa Brena concert chronology

Imam pesmu da vam pevam Tour [1] is the sixth headlining concert tour by Yugoslav singer Lepa Brena. It was launched to support all of Brena's studio albums conceptually. The tour commenced on 20 April 2024, in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the Zetra Olympic Hall.

Background

The Imam pesmu da vam pevam Tour represents a series of concerts announced by the legendary Yugoslav pop-folk star Lepa Brena. This tour marks her return to the regional music scene with a series of spectacular performances.

The tour kicked off with two spectacular concerts in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the packed Zetra Hall. Sarajevo, known for its rich cultural heritage and hospitality, was the perfect place to kick off this tour. Brena, with her charm, energy, and unparalleled vocals, won the hearts of fans who came from all corners of the region. [2]

After Sarajevo, the tour continued to Montenegro, where the next concert would be held at the Morača Sports Center in Podgorica. This concert represented a unique opportunity for the audience in Montenegro to enjoy the performance of one of the greatest pop-folk icons of the Balkans.

After Podgorica, Brena announced concerts in cities such as Prijedor, Drvar, Mostar, Zenica, and Tuzla, which will further enrich this grand Balkan tour. It is expected that the audience in these cities will warmly welcome Brena and enjoy her hits.

Although the current last part of the tour consists of a series of concerts in Zagreb, Croatia, at the Zagreb Arena, it is expected that Brena will announce new dates and cities as the tour progresses.

The Imam pesmu da vam pevam Tour shows that the popularity of Lepa Brena knows no bounds and that her music is still loved throughout the Balkans.

Accident during the third concert at the Zagreb Arena

Lepa Brena suffered a broken ankle during her third concert at the Zagreb Arena on Monday night. Despite the injury, she performed until the end of the concert and later spent the night at the Draškovićeva Clinic for Traumatology.

The accident occurred during the performance. Ana Bekuta had just finished her set, and the next block of songs was about to begin. Brena was waiting in the lift to be raised onto the stage when a cameraman, who was filming an aerial artist performing with silk, walked backward and fell into the lift where the singer was standing.

Despite the broken ankle, Brena showed no signs of pain as she sang "Pazi kome zavidiš." Following the incident, the organizers issued a statement confirming the postponement of the final two concerts in Zagreb.

Official Statement from the Organizers:

Dear All,

We would like to inform the public that during last night’s third concert by Lepa Brena in Arena Zagreb, an unfortunate incident occurred, requiring the beloved regional star to undergo ankle surgery this morning. The operation was successful, and the singer is feeling well.

The incident happened when a member of the technical team accidentally fell from the stage into a lowered lift, sustaining minor injuries, just as Lepa Brena was waiting for her entrance to the audience. Unfortunately, the fall resulted in an injury to the singer. Despite the immense pain, Lepa Brena once again demonstrated remarkable professionalism, flawlessly completing the demanding concert, driven by the audience’s euphoria and her determination not to disappoint her fans. This courageous act is yet another testament to her greatness, dedication to music, and love for her audience.

In light of the recovery process and upon medical advice, the scheduled concerts on December 10 and December 16 in Arena Zagreb have been postponed.

Purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates, which will be announced later. For those unable to attend the new dates, a full refund will be issued.

On behalf of Lepa Brena, her team, and the organizers, we thank you for your understanding and support! [3] [4]
