Il sindaco di Dubrovnik a metà luglio ha annunciato chi canterà alla Straduna per il ricevimento

Dubrovnik's mayor announced mid-July who will perform at Stradun for New Year's celebrations. The group Plavi Orkestar will take the stage during the New Year's Eve event in 2027 on Stradun. The announcement was made on social media by Dubrovnik's mayor, Mato Franković, confirming the lineup for the New Year's night unusually early, already in mid-July. The band confirmed their performance in a video message, with the group’s frontman, Saša Lošić Loša, inviting the public to join the celebration in Dubrovnik. He stated that it is a great honor and pleasure for the band to perform on Stradun. The announcement received numerous positive comments on social media. Fans believe that the hits of Plavi Orkestar are a good choice for the New Year celebration and expect Stradun to be filled as it has been in previous years. Alongside announcing the main performer, Mayor Franković introduced a change in the organization of winter events. From this year onward, the former Dubrovnik Winter Festival will be known as "Advent in the City." The change in name brings a new visual identity, but retains the festive atmosphere and program for all visitors. The decision to rename the festival comes amid ongoing efforts to enhance the city's cultural offerings and attract more visitors during the winter season. The new name aims to align the event more closely with the Advent period leading up to Christmas, while maintaining its traditional elements. Mayor Franković emphasized that the festival will continue to offer a variety of activities suitable for all age groups, ensuring that both locals and tourists can enjoy the festivities. The transition to the new name is part of a broader strategy to modernize the city's approach to seasonal events while preserving its heritage. Plavi Orkestar, known for their energetic performances and popular songs, have a large fan base across Croatia. Their participation in the New Year's Eve concert is expected to draw significant crowds to Stradun, one of the most iconic locations in Dubrovnik. The band's involvement underscores the city's commitment to featuring well-known acts that resonate with a wide audience. The announcement of the band and the festival's new name were met with enthusiasm from local officials and community members. They view these changes as steps toward creating a more vibrant and engaging environment for residents and visitors alike during the holiday season. As preparations for the 2027 New Year's Eve event begin, organizers are working on finalizing the event's logistics and promotional strategies. Details regarding additional performers, special activities, and ticket information are expected to be released in the coming months.
