All three international stars, apart from performing on great festivals around the world, are still remembered by the domestic audience for the euphoria caused at the Main Stage of EXIT Festival in front of a tens of thousands people! One of the most important rock bands in the area, VAN GOGH will also perform at the manifestation, whose sold concerts in the largest sport halls in Serbia tell the most about their repertoire of hits in the last thirty years. The Great Hall of SPENS will also welcome song-writer from Belgrade, MARKO LOUIS, as well as HELEM NEJSE, from Sarajevo, known for energetic music performances and sharp tongue.

“We are extremely happy and proud to announce the international manifestation with which Novi Sad will begin to celebrate the title of the European Youth Capital in style. This year, more than 75 thousand young people passed our programmes, and a rich programme is waiting for us next year, which will include more than half a million young people from all of Europe”, Vukašin Grozdanović, OPENS Coordinator said.

One of the largest regional rock bands, Van Gogh has kept its energy and recognizable sound since the first album in 1986 until today, which can be described in short as a clear rock and roll. The performance in Novi Sad is coming at the moment of the announcement of the new single from the upcoming jubilee 10th studio album.

“This is a new Van Gogh, a single is only the announcement of the album. Our plan is to issue the album on 13 February as a gift, but you can always expect surprises. I am extremely happy that we are part of this colourful line-up and that we are taking the City in the year of young people”, Zvonimir Đukić Đule, Van Gogh frontman says.

The manifestation in the Great Hall of SPENS will begin at 8 p.m. and last until 4.30 a.m., while the entrance is free, with mandatory previous registration at www.opens2019.rs.
