Arika Adams at Club Stroezha in Sofia on October 2 - launching Overground, recorded with an Irish producer she met at Abbey Road

Arika Adams presents her new EP "Overground" at a concert at Club Stroezha in Sofia on October 2, 2026. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the concert starts at 8 p.m. The release hits the platforms a day earlier, on October 1.

The young Bulgarian singer became known to a wider audience through The Voice of Bulgaria. Her debut album "Past Timeline" came out on November 1, 2024: ten songs, 35 minutes, a concept story about four years of her life and a teenage love that ended in lies.

"Overground" is the result of two years of work with Irish producer Fi Mac, whom she met at a workshop at Abbey Road Studios in London. The sound mixes alternative pop, rock, electronics and hip-hop, and the themes go wider than love: self-confidence, inequality, political tension. How many young singers from the region even make it to a studio like that, let alone come back with a finished project?

On stage she'll be joined by Daniel Ivanov on guitar, Radoslav Paunov on bass and Stefan Tsekov on drums. The programme also includes songs from "Past Timeline" and the single "NBA Player". Tickets on bilet.bg are 10 euros (about 616 denars), and 15 euros at the door.
