About
One of the most beloved pop-rock bands from the former Yugoslavia, Neki To Vole Vruće, returns to Belgrade after more than three decades. The Zagreb band, led by Šomi and Đimi, will perform at Zappa Baza on Thursday, October 22, 2026, bringing an evening filled with timeless hits, nostalgia, and the infectious energy that has kept them among the region's most sought-after live acts. Early bird tickets are available through the Hangtime website for 2,000 RSD. Once the first allocation sells out, the presale price will increase to 2,400 RSD, while tickets at the door (if available) will cost 2,700 RSD. Physical tickets will soon be available at Katakombe Bar and Zappa Bar. Founded in 1985 in Zagreb by childhood friends Silvestar Dragoje (Šomi) and Miroslav Stanić (Đimi), Neki To Vole Vruće quickly rose to fame with their self-titled debut album, featuring classics such as "California," "Medu moj i šećeru," and "Reci da." Their combination of polished pop songwriting, guitar-driven arrangements, and high-quality production set them apart from much of the Yugoslav music scene, earning them a reputation as the local answer to Western pop with a rock attitude. Their second album, Jeans Generacija, cemented their popularity with hits like "Jeans Generacija" and "Teška Vremena," which became defining songs of the late 1980s. Over the years, the band has released seven studio albums, a live album, and several compilations, leaving behind a catalogue of songs that have become an essential part of the region's pop culture. They have collaborated with renowned songwriters and producers, including Alka Vuica, Zlatan Stipišić Gibonni, and producer Duško Mandić, who played a major role in shaping their signature sound. After a successful first decade, the band members briefly went their separate ways before reuniting in the mid-2000s. Their comeback coincided with a renewed interest in 1980s music, introducing their songs to a new generation of listeners. Today, Neki To Vole Vruće perform for audiences of all ages, proving that their music has long outgrown the era in which it was created. Their concerts are known for their joyful atmosphere, enthusiastic sing-alongs, and the boundless energy of Šomi and Đimi. Whether you grew up with their music or discovered it only recently, this Belgrade show will be a rare opportunity to experience them live once again. After more than thirty years, Neki To Vole Vruće are finally returning to Belgrade—don't miss it.
