Dragana Mirković and Sofi Marinova share the stage at Arena 8888 in Sofia on November 20, 2026, starting at 20:00. The stage is set in a 360-degree circle, so the view is the same from every side of the hall.

Dragana Mirković was born in 1968 in Kasidol near Požarevac and is among the best-selling performers from the former Yugoslavia. She broke through in the eighties with the band Južni vetar, recording five albums with them, among them „Spasi me samoće” from 1986 and „Najlepši par” from 1988 with the hit „Milo moje, što te nema”. In the nineties she continued alone with „Plači zemljo”, „Nema promene” and „Kojom gorom”, and in total she has over 20 studio albums and close to 10 million records sold. She also founded the satellite television station DM SAT.

Sofi Marinova is a Bulgarian pop-folk singer of Roma origin, known for a five-octave vocal range. In 2012 she represented Bulgaria at Eurovision in Baku with the song „Love Unlimited”, whose lyrics repeat the phrase „I love you” in ten languages. She was the first pop-folk singer to represent Bulgaria at the contest, and in the semi-final she finished 11th with the same number of points as Norway, which went through only because it received votes from one country more.

This is a pairing that makes sense only in the Balkans - a Serbian folk star from the eighties and a Bulgarian Eurovision entrant on the same stage, in front of an audience that knows both. Tickets start at 26.59 leva via eventim.bg, roughly 838 denars, and the highest category goes up to 602.65 leva.
