The main attraction of the third, and final day, of this year’s 15th jubilee Street Musicians Festival will be the Dance Night in the Catholic Courtyard!

The main stars of the Dance Night, 15 minutes before midnight, will be the American band Phat Cat Swinger. California’s masters of swing will play boogie-woogie, rockabilly, 50s rock’n’roll… Before them the stage will host performances from Belgrade’s jazzers Belgrade Dixieland Orchestra and VIS Limunada, a young Belgrade band performing oldies and retro pop-rock. The Night will begin at 9:15 PM, after the performance on the big stage in the Courtyard of Subotica’s Wooden Ambulance, band renowned for their successful fusion of gloomy Americana and garage rock.

Unusual singer-songwriter from Belgrade Ilija Ludvig will perform on Liberty Square from 8:30 PM, as intro to the performance of the band Movaizhaleine, from the far away Gabon, who will present probably the best version of African hip-hop. Novi Sad’s Haos žongleri will afterwards have another festival performance, just before live electronic band Don’t Touch Anything steps on stage and with a ferocious gig close this year’s program on Liberty Square.
