The "30 Years of B.T.R." tour, which one of the most significant rock bands in Bulgaria celebrates its anniversary with, will end with two concerts in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture. Due to the great interest in the concert on November 20, a second date has also been announced - November 21. For the frontman of the band, Atanas Penev, this is a great achievement, as he cannot remember a Bulgarian rock band that performed two consecutive concerts in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture. The celebrations of the anniversary that also included a the long-awaited European tour started back in 2023 and are ending now.
A surprise awaits the band's fans as the first live album of B.T.R. will also have its premiere. It was recorded last year in the National Palace of Culture, when together with their friends from the Konstantin Kisimov Music and Drama Theater - Veliko Tarnovo, under the baton of Georgi Patrikov, they had a concert with a symphony orchestra. B.T.R.'s desire was to recreate as closely as possible the feeling that everyone had. The first copies of the album will be available on November 20 and 21 in the National Palace of Culture.
Nasko Penev told us more about what to expect from the two concerts, which include songs from the entire music path of B.T.R.:
"We decided to be rawer on stage like back when we started. Of course, our friends Yasen Velchev on the keyboards and Dobromir Polikov with the second guitar will also be on stage. I will announce that Mariana Popova will also come for a song that we recorded together with her. Let's not forget our fifth unofficial member – Alexander Filchev aka Sanetsa, who will sing one or more songs. He has been with us for over 25 years… So for the last five years we have been wondering how to make a song for him that will ‘officialize’ him as a member of B.T.R."
Sanetsa takes part in B.T.R.'s newest single called "Anise Days". The music is by the guitarist in the band Slavcho Nikolov, while the lyrics were written by Iliyan Dikov – B.T.R.’s drummer.
The song brings back the serene feeling of summer evenings with friends by the fire. B.T.R. may be celebrating its 30th anniversary, but Nasko, Slavcho, Ivan and Iliyan remain four boys in love with rock.
