Lexington Bend's first show in Bitola - a concert at the Handball Pitch is set for July 18, 2026 at 8 p.m., with tickets at 1,050 denars in pre-sale on mktickets.mk. The same day in town, Duper plays at the ancient theater of Heraclea, which makes the weekend one of the most packed summer dates on the Bitola calendar.

Lexington Bend was founded in Belgrade in 2004 and is one of the most popular regional pop bands in the Balkans. The debut album „Kako je, tako je" from 2010 launched the band on regional radio, and hit names like „Dobro da nije veće zlo", „Miris karmina", „U srce udaraš", „Prišla" and „Potraži me" have stayed as standards on regional summer stages for more than a decade.

The group has won a string of music awards, including best pop band and song of the year, and their tracks regularly run on regional radio top charts. They have a track record of successful tours across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia and all the countries of the former Yugoslavia, plus dates in Albania and Turkey.

The Bitola Handball Pitch turns into an open-air stage for summer concerts, and the capacity is smaller than Heraclea, which guarantees a closer contact with the audience. Tickets are 1,050 denars on mktickets.mk, start at 8 p.m.
