The world’s top music attraction Thievery Corporation will hold a big summer concert in Belgrade on June 26 (20:30) at Tashmajdan Stadium!
Belgraders are expecting a true sound and spectacular spectacle of powerful, multidisciplinary live bands by Thievery Corporation, founded by Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, responsible for the creation of the entire sub-genre of electronic music enriched with the use of regey, dab, hip hop, downtempo, Indian trip-hop and boss new.

Desiring to exaggerate the reputation of the downtempo ambassador, Garza and Hilton are now beginning to cook subversive footage that reveals their passion for social activism, which is heard on the albums ‘Radio Retaliation’ (2008) and ‘Culture of Fear’ (2011). After honoring the boss with new influences on “Saudade” (2014), Thievery Corporation deepened into the classic rapper and dumb sounds of Jamaica at “The Temple of I
