Dara (DARA) is one of the biggest pop names in Bulgaria today, and on October 30 she performs at the Pirotska 5 Event Center in Sofia for a solo concert. The singer who ten years ago was a teenager on a television contest now fills halls and holds top positions on the Bulgarian charts.

Born Darina Yotova in Varna in 1998, Dara broke through in 2015 on the Bulgarian edition of X Factor, where she finished third with rapper Krisko as her mentor. From that starting point she built a pop-rap career that turned her into one of the most recognisable female names on the scene, with steady hits and a strong presence on digital platforms.

Her stage performance is part of the show - visual, energetic and designed down to the detail, which makes her concerts closer to a production than an ordinary gig. The audience at Pirotska 5 can expect an evening made up of her best-known tracks, with a set design adapted to the indoor space.

Doors open at 7 PM and the concert begins at 8. Tickets range from around 49 leva upward and are sold through bilet.bg. For a Balkan listener who wants to see how far modern Bulgarian pop-rap production has come, Dara is among the first names on the list.
