200,000 at Slavi and Cuckoo Band’s Tour

August 23, 2007

Slavi Trifonov and Cuckoo Band’s tour this summer was a big success. The first concert was on August 1 and the last on August 21.
200,000 fans attended the concerts held in 10 Bulgarian cities displaying a pageant of musicians, singers and dancers.

Together with his musician colleagues Slavi presented his new album We Shall Go On, 18 in his career.
Each concert was an amazing blend of little Nickolaya’s performance on a specific Bulgarian pipe kaba gajda, of Metin Enimehmedov’s dance on his head, of the Music Idol finalists’ songs, Ethnica Dance Troupe’s ethnic dances, Magadance’s modern ballet and the solo performances of the Dance with Me contenders.

The audience was overwhelmed by the songs performed by Nelly Petkova. Krasi Radkov and Victor Kalev’s performance, both Slavi’s Show staff actors, made the audience roar with laughter. During the encore thousands of people sang together with the performers, holding hands.

An imposing stage was built covering 316 square metres. This year a special cover gave the opportunity to viewers to take seats on the grass as well and thus be 1-2 metres away from their favourites. The special sound equipment grouped into four towers ensured crystal clear sound even in the remotest corners of the stadia. Huge video walls rose on the stage and the special pyrotechnics exalted the audience.

Six trucks and four TIR lorries carried the props, make-up, grass cover, musical instruments, fencing, pyrotechnics, lights, sound and video wall equipment. The cast traveled in 2 buses and 10 vans.
Furthermore 2 UPS facilities, each 100,000 Watts, added to the stadia’s power supply.
