The fifth edition of the Dragi Bravo Festival was held on August 21 and 22 at Ušće Park in Belgrade, focusing on music from the 2000s.

On the opening night, Ukrainian singer Ruslana performed her hit ‘Wild Dances’ and addressed the audience in Serbian, stating, “Serbia is the best country in the world.” Following her set, performer Dado Polumenta criticized Ruslana’s inclusion, suggesting she was ‘too much’ and ‘extra’ for the event’s concept. Vlada Matović defended the lineup, noting that organizers decide who performs.

As the festival continued, several other prominent artists took the stage. The group Đogani, featuring Đole and Vesna Đogani, delivered high-energy performances, alongside Greek singer Sakis Rouvas. Dara Bubamara also performed, clarifying that she opted to sing her hits solo rather than participating in a planned duet with Bojan Bijelić. Additionally, Slađa Delibašić addressed her professional relationship with her former husband, Đole Đogani, stating that they will no longer perform together on public stages.
