🎸 Scottish hard rock legends NAZARETH return to Sofia for a live show. Since 1968, the band's distinctive gravelly vocals, powerful guitar riffs and classic ballads have marked generations of fans worldwide.

📅 Date: October 1, 2026, 20:00. Organizer: Profconcerts.

Why this concert matters

Nazareth are not a 1970s museum plate. The rough vocal and straight riffs still hold a room without a symphonic arrangement. Pirotska 5 is closer than NDK — that fits a band that always sounded nearer a club than an arena.

For the local crowd they are a name that returns without living off a single ballad. Love Hurts opens the door; the night stands on the hard rock catalogue.

If you want a new-wave or progressive bill, this is not the date. If you want classic Scottish hard rock on a sensible stage, it is one of the clearer autumn stops.

What to expect from the set

Love Hurts will land. Around it: Hair of the Dog, This Flight Tonight, Broken Down Angel and straighter hard rock cuts.

Do not expect a concept set. Expect a two-hour catalogue night with known choruses and less theatre than the big symphonic shows in town.

Practical information

Pirotska 5 is a hall, not a 200-capacity club. Arrive with time — the queue on Pirotska moves slowly.

For voice and riff the middle is often cleaner than the front row by the stacks. After the show the centre gets busy; if you are travelling, sort transport before the encore.
