October: Deep Purple, then Kaliopi

Deep Purple open the run on 11 October. The band has been playing since 1968, sits in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and counts among the founders of hard rock and heavy metal. Six days later, on 17 October, the Arena belongs to Kaliopi, the Macedonian singer. Both nights start at 20:00.

November: Emeli Sandé, Next Time and Vesna Zmijanac

On 7 November the British singer Emeli Sandé arrives. On 27 November the Eurovision group Next Time takes the stage, and the very next night Vesna Zmijanac brings her "Golden Tour", after three concerts at the Belgrade Arena in May. Her show was not originally booked into the Arena. It was moved there because of demand.

December: Severina, Tamara, Lepa Brena and Saša Kovačević

December is the busiest month. Severina sings on 5 December, and two days later Tamara Todevska marks 25 years on stage with her new album "Kukla živa". On 18 December Lepa Brena returns to Skopje after eight years, with some 40 million records sold behind her. Saša Kovačević closes the year on 26 December.

This time, no road trip required

How many times in recent years did a night like this mean getting in the car and driving to Belgrade, Zagreb or Sofia? From hard rock legends to the queens of Yugo-pop, nine names pass through one hall in under three months. The Arena, which since July officially carries the sponsor name T Arena, is working for the home crowd until New Year.

Every date in one place

All nine concerts are in the events calendar, with date, venue and start time, alongside hundreds of other events in Macedonia and the region.
