Nazareth, the Scottish hard rock veterans, play mts dvorana in Belgrade on 20 December from 8 p.m. The band comes with new singer Gianni Pontillo, who became frontman at the end of 2025.

Nazareth was founded in 1968 in Dunfermline, Scotland, and found worldwide fame in the seventies with the album "Hair of the Dog" and with its version of "Love Hurts", which became their biggest hit. Founder and bassist Pete Agnew is still in the band today, with his son Lee Agnew on drums and guitarist Jimmy Murrison.

The singer is the new part. On 21 December 2025 Agnew announced that the band was parting ways with Carl Sentance, who had led the vocals for about a decade, and in his place came Pontillo, who since 2019 has also been singing in the German hard rock group Victory. Agnew said at the time that 2026 would be one of the busiest years in Nazareth's history.

Tickets on tickets.rs start at 4,500 dinars, about 2,368 denars. A band that has been playing for more than half a century, with a founder still standing on stage - how many groups from that generation have pulled that off?
