Whitesnake fans rejoice: a new all-star performance announced

The participants of the 58th Guitar Festival in Zaječar, which will take place at Kraljevica from August 28 to 30, were announced at a press conference last week in Belgrade, Serbia. During the conference, Marco Mendoza, Dino Jelusić, and Ivan Keller announced “Whitesnake Experience by the members of Whitesnake”, a project especially made for the Zaječar Guitar Festival, will perform exclusively. Drummer Tommy Aldridge, guitarist Joel Hoekstra, bassist Marco Mendoza, keyboardist Michele Luppi, and the increasingly well-liked Croatian vocalist Dino Jelusić will all be performing in the world’s only Whitesnake event. Mendoza underlined that they have sold out performances in Belgrade and have always been well received in Serbia, which is why they decided to host this one-of-a-kind international event in Zaječar.

Tradition and quality are very important to us, and the Guitar Festival, with its 58-year history, is something you must respect and cherish. Your audience is one of the best in the world, and I believe they will enjoy this performance with us. Marco Mendoza

We’re preparing a special setlist of Whitesnake’s greatest hits. Singing the songs of my childhood idol David Coverdale is a special honor and pleasure for me. Although I’ve performed with big names in the rock world in the meantime, Whitesnake’s songs suit me best, and playing with such a fantastic group of musicians is pure hedonism for me.

The Guitar Festival gained a unique exclusivity when Coverdale approved this initiative. Consequently, a significant number of tourists from Serbia and the surrounding area are anticipated.
