" Druha Rika" is going on a tour of Ukraine with the anniversary show "I am! 30 years old" and the presentation of a new album .
After the big concert "I am! 30 years old" at the Kyiv Palace of Sports, the rock band "Druha Rika" announces a tour of Ukraine. The musicians will set off on a journey with an anniversary program and a new album, the release of which is scheduled for the eve of the tour.
The main goal of the tour is to raise UAH 15 million for the needs of the Military Development Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. By purchasing a ticket, viewers automatically make a donation, as part of the funds will go to support the charitable collection.
The tour will continue the stage history that will begin on March 8, 2026 at the Palace of Sports. The program "I Am! 30 Years", created especially for the band's anniversary and directed by German Nenov, will be adapted to the formats of concert venues in different cities: the space will become more intimate, while the key ideas, dramaturgy, and visual logic of the show will be preserved.
The band's new program is not a nostalgic return to the past, but a presentation of a new stage in the history of "Druha Rika". In addition to the premieres of new songs, the concerts will also feature well-known hits - "Secret", "Tak malo tut tebe", "Vzhe ne sam", "Vidchynay", "Tri minuvy".
Band leader Valeriy Kharchyshyn emphasizes that this tour is primarily about a live meeting with the Ukrainian listener.
"Our tour is for those who missed "Drugaya Rika". And especially for those who missed new songs - there will be enough of them to surprise you. Some compositions will be heard for the first time, and in each city it will be a premiere. But, of course, it will not do without the already legendary hits - in a new sound and new arrangements. This will be a completely new program that you will hear right in your city," says Valeriy.
According to the musician, the decision to start the tour in Ukraine was a fundamental one.
"We know for sure that we missed you. That's why we're traveling primarily through Ukraine. We've traveled abroad a lot since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and we feel that we've deprived the Ukrainian listener a little. So we're returning to our people — to those who stay home and wait for us in their cities during this difficult period," the musician concludes.
As part of the tour, the band will perform in Khmelnytskyi, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Uzhhorod, Lviv, Truskavets, Vinnytsia, Kremenchuk, Kropyvnytskyi, Kryvyi Rih, Mykolaiv, Ternopil, Lutsk, Rivne, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zaporizhia, Zhytomyr, Poltava, Dnipro, Odessa, and Kharkiv.
The tour was organized together with general partners - the Aurora multimarket chain and the Work.ua job search service, who joined forces to not only implement a large-scale show, but also, together with the Druha Rika band, to raise UAH 15 million for a common charitable cause. Radio Silpo acted as the media partner of the event.
