Niš Youth Fest Opens with Ana Nikolić Concert, Attracting 14,000 Fans Niš, Serbia – The Youth Fest, a major music festival touring Serbia and the surrounding region, kicked off its Niš leg with a spectacular concert featuring pop superstar Ana Nikolić. The event, held on June 14th, 2025, drew an estimated 14,000 attendees to the Niš Fortress plateau. This was not only a significant turnout, but also marked the last time the Youth Fest would be held in Niš for the foreseeable future. Nikolić's performance, described by festival director Nikolina Dodić as "electrifying," was a highlight of the evening. "Niš showed us how much young people value events like this," Dodić stated, "a place where talent, music, and community are celebrated." The concert also featured the Youth Stars, a group of young performers launched by the Youth Fest, who displayed impressive stage presence and musical talent. Their performance was a blend of modern pop sounds and well-rehearsed choreography, indicating a promising future for the group. The Youth Fest will continue its tour, with its next stop in Sokobanja on July 5th, and a grand finale scheduled for Belgrade in September. The success of the Niš event underscores the importance of providing young people with opportunities to celebrate music and community.
