Concert na Anelia

Quarter-century milestones deserve a setlist built from the real pillars. Anelia’s story starts with the breakout single “Pogledni me v ochite” in 2002, followed by a run of early-2000s radio staples that turned her into a leading voice of Bulgarian pop‑folk. Across the years she has released multiple studio albums with Payner Music, and more than twenty of her singles have reached No. 1 on Bulgarian charts. In 2012 she was named Artist of the Year at the Annual Music Awards of Planeta TV — a nod to the longevity and consistency that this jubilee celebrates.

One night only in Sofia on Saturday, November 28, 2026 (20:00), at Sports Hall “Arena 8888 Sofia.” Expect a career-spanning production that balances the sleek club pulse of her recent singles with the emotive, melodic storytelling of the early hits. Her catalogue moves easily between glossy dance‑pop and lyrical ballads, so the evening is likely to travel from high‑energy choreography to lights‑down intimacy.

Moments longtime fans will be hoping to hear

• “Samo mene nyamash” and “Iskam te” — chart favorites from the first wave that defined her sound.
• “Ne moga da spra da te obicham” and “Samo za mig” — mid‑2000s anthems made for arena sing‑alongs.
• Recent collabs that kept her current, including releases with Denis Teofikov and DJ Jivko Mix.

The producer hints at a special guest from Greece. That nod fits perfectly: Anelia’s cross‑border collaborations have been fan magnets, especially her duets with Greek singer Kyriacos Georgiou — “Kazhi mi” (2017) and “Podludyavash me” (2018) — which blend Balkan pop with a Mediterranean edge. If those songs appear, expect one of the loudest crowd reactions of the night.
