Bilyanish at Joy Station in Sofia on 20 November - a First Solo Concert With the Folk-Fusion Concept Out of Context

Bilyanish plays Joy Station in Sofia on 20 November with a first solo concert, titled Out of Context. The idea is to play well-known songs in new folk-fusion arrangements, different enough to pull them out of the context the audience knows them in.

Bilyanish is a name from the Bulgarian pop scene, with the 2025 album KARMA and collaborations with Donika, Gery-Nikol and Bobo Armani. The Out of Context concept was first shown just a few weeks ago, in the "Little Panel Block Concerts" series, and now the full show is coming.

Also on stage is Aleksandar Kolev, "the boy from the metro", who wins audiences over with his performances, as well as producer ANDRO, the writer of some of the most popular Bulgarian hits and one of the driving forces behind the arrangements. The band is guitarist Bobi Solo, drummer Martin Nedkov and bassist Preslav Sotirov.

Doors open at 19:00, the concert starts at 20:00. The early tickets at 25 euros have sold out; they're now 35 euros on bilet.bg, around 2,160 denars, and a table for four is 200 euros. Folk in a new arrangement is a formula that in the Balkans either catches fire or falls flat, and Sofia will say which.
