Problems with the concert in Timișoara
Press conference in Romania, March 2012
On March 12, 2012, Lepa Brena announced a concert in Timișoara at the Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu, on June 15, 2012, where she sang in the same place 28 years ago in front of 60,000 people. Lepa Brena was greeted with the highest honor at the border as soon as she reached the soil of Romania. Blinded cars and police security, flowers and honors that fit a world champion are just a detail that illustrates how the Romanians are seeing a star from a neighboring country. Under the special police escort, Brena came to Timișoara where she held a press conference for Romanian media related to the concert that will be held in this city on June 15, 2012. When she arrived in front of the hotel "Timișoara", Brena literally surrounded photographers and journalists from all over Romania. Since she was singing as a girl in Timișoara, for Brena this was a touching encounter with the Romans who followed her career all these years. Atmosphere at the press conference brought our singer, and at one point she sang the song "Ja nemam drugi dom"! Brena told reporters: "I must admit, when I saw flowers at the entrance to Romania, tears began because I remembered in 1984 when I was last here. I just returned all my memories."
However, on June 13, 2012, was announced that the concert is scheduled for June 29, 2012 for technical reasons. The concert organizer told local media that they were forced to cancel the concert because of the rain that had fallen in the past days. "It was not possible to place an extremely demanding stage design and scenography, which will cause the Serbian folk star to appear in a delayed term, in two weeks, in front of the Romanian audience." One of the organizers of this spectacle, Aleksandar Tamaš, pointed out that 70% of tickets were sold and that the purchased tickets will be valid for the new term. On June 26, 2012, the newspaper posted that the announced Lepa Brena concert in Timișoara on June 29, 2012, was canceled. This time the reason for the postponement of the concert is not of a technical nature, but the stadium from 25 to 29 June is reserved for football matches, and because of that, it is not possible to keep the stage and hold the concert. After a few days, Lepa Brena said that she was very disappointed and would gladly schedule a new concert, but when she found a new and serious organizer for the concert.
