At the concert, she performed songs from her albums, Aleksandra Radović and Dommino. The concert also featured guest stars Jelena Tomašević and Sergej Ćetković.[4] After concert in Belgrade she visited other key cities in Serbia. The following year, she went on a mini-tour through Bosnia and visited Banja Luka, Sarajevo and Tuzla.[5] With Dommino, Radović established her reputation as one of the best pop singers in Serbia.
After completing the tour, she announced she was working on a third album with Aleksandra Milutinović, Goran Kovačić, Darko Dimitrov, Nikša Bratoš and famous Croatian singer-songwriter Arsen Dedić. The album was scheduled to be released in the summer of 2009.
