Svyatoslav Vakarchuk — tickets and billboard 2026

Ukrainian musician Svyatoslav Vakarchuk is going on a concert tour with a special programme, New Familiar. The artist will appear in a new role and present his well-known songs in a non-standard arrangement. Get ready for a new musical experience and a flurry of emotions - you won't forget this concert for a long time!

The voice of change and hope

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk is a prominent figure on the Ukrainian rock scene and the permanent frontman of Okean Elzy. The talented and charismatic artist is constantly looking for new facets of musical creativity. This time, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk decided to give voice to the internal changes that every Ukrainian has been experiencing in recent years through his songs. This is how the idea of the concert ‘New Familiar’ was born - a musical reflection of the common path of Ukrainians through war, loss, strength, pain, love and invincibility.

Svyatoslav Vakarchuk has selected well-known songs from Okean Elzy and his solo projects for the concert programme. But this time they will sound different. The same strong vocals, acoustic guitar, piano and a small band will create a special, deep sound. It will be more than just a concert - it will be a meeting with our current selves, with those we have become after going through trials.

Favourite songs in a new light

Each concert of ‘New Familiar’ will be held in small halls. This will allow, along with the unique arrangement of the songs, to create a chamber atmosphere where every word and every note is important. During the performance, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk will share what hurts, inspires and supports him and other Ukrainians.

‘New Familiar is not just about music. It's about the power of the moment when the audience stops talking to live a song together, and about the feeling that we are not alone in our thoughts, pains and hopes. This is a concert about truth, humanity and the future we are already creating. And it is on evenings like this that something new is born - but it is so dear and real. Come to the concert and enjoy new, but familiar songs by Svyatoslav Vakarchuk!
