Plavi Orkestar to headline Dubrovnik's 2027 New Year's Eve celebration

Dubrovnik will ring in the new year of 2027 with a performance by the beloved band Plavi Orkestar. The legendary group is set to play on the Stradun, the city's iconic main street, welcoming the new year before thousands of Dubrovnik residents and visitors.

Mayor Mato Franković announced the news on social media, confirming the band's appearance. Frontman Saša Lošić Loša conveyed his excitement in a video message, calling it a great honor and joy for the band to count down the final seconds of the old year with Dubrovnik. He invited everyone to join the celebration in the heart of the city.

There are moments that are remembered for a lifetime. One of those moments will be the night when Dubrovnik and Plavi Orkestar will count down the last seconds of the old year together and enter the new year, 2027, with a song. This represents a great honor and joy for us. See you on the Stradun, in the heart of Dubrovnik, at the most beautiful welcome. Greetings from Plavi Orkestar.

The announcement has already generated significant positive reactions online, with fans anticipating hits like "Suada" and "Bolje biti pijan nego star" to provide the perfect soundtrack for entering 2027. The Stradun is expected to be filled to capacity, as it typically is for major events.

This New Year's Eve performance also signifies a rebranding of Dubrovnik's winter events. The former Dubrovnik Winter Festival will now be known as "Advent in Grad" (Advent in the City), signaling a refreshed identity for the holiday season while maintaining its festive atmosphere and diverse program for all ages. Mayor Franković anticipates an unforgettable night with timeless hits and a great atmosphere as the city embarks on this new chapter.
