"Parni valjak" in Belgrade

Famous former Yugoslav band "Parni valjak" will be held concert in Belgrade Arena after more than 20 years, on Saturday 16th and 17th of October this year.

Parni valjak was founded in 1975. Unlike many rock bands that would come later, their style was becoming more mainstream, becoming closer to pop, especially compared with the bands like Prljavo kazalište or Film.

As years went by, their refusal to change style proved to be the important factor in the band's longevity. They kept a loyal following in 1980s and in 1990s, refusing to allow elements of folk and turbo folk music to become part of their repertoire. Because of that the band enjoys great respect among many Croatian rock critics, being seen as the embodiment of "true" rock and urban culture and many of their songs are considered evergreens in the former Yugoslavia like "Sve još miriše na nju" , "Jesen u meni" , "Ugasi me" and "Zastave".
