Outhentic Band with a Memorable Concert at Glastonbury festival

After their very recent return from one of the largest and most prestigious music festivals in the world—Glastonbury in the United Kingdom—the musicians of Outhentic continue to share stories of the beautiful emotions, unforgettable experiences, encounters, adventures, and the warm welcoming from the British audience.

The event took place thanks to the manager of the Bulgarian agency “Panharmony,” Boyan Boyadjiev. Through him, Outhentic’s music reached the festival organizers and the band immediately received an invitation to participate.

“Glastonbury is a place that possesses an exceptional spirit, a spirit you can feel only the moment you set foot on this magical land,” share our young talents.

The group’s concert took place on June 23rd, Saturday on the “Toad Hall” stage in the “Green Futures Field” area. The musicians closed the program on Saturday night with a stunning success. They were dressed in branded T-shirts featuring the name of the band, prepared especially for the festival. They performed songs from their debut album, YesToday, as well as several new compositions. Additionally, they had prepared an english instrumental piece as a gesture of respect for the local audience.

Up until that moment, many of the British audience had never heard Bulgarian folklore, especially presented in such a modern and unconventional way. They responded warmly and emotionally to everything they heard.

The talented Bulgarians presented their program in an intriguing and entertaining way.

Zhivko played not only the kaval but also the Irish flute and piano. Viktor decided to showcase his impressive skills not only with the guitar but also with the Bulgarian drum bagpipe (dzhura gayda). Rayna, on the other hand, used not only her beautiful and lyrical voice but also various percussion instruments, which she soloed with in the middle of the concert.

The audience was visibly amazed by the “spectacle” created by the talented musicians. Evidence of this is the fact that the group was called back for multiple encores. This is undoubtedly a concert that has left a lasting impression on the hearts of the British community. A concert that will hardly be forgotten anytime soon and one that will be talked about for a long time to come.
