Chris Norman (Smokie)

🎤 The legendary voice of SMOKIE — Chris Norman — returns for one last tour of Bulgaria in 2027. Backed by his live band, he'll perform timeless Smokie classics 'Living Next Door to Alice', 'Lay Back in the Arms of Someone' and 'Oh Carol', alongside solo hits like 'Midnight Lady'.

📅 Date: 2027-03-23, Kolodruma, Plovdiv, 20:00.

Why this concert matters

The tour is billed as the last one for Bulgaria. That changes the stake: not "he will be back next year", but one night with the Smokie voice and the solo hits.

The Kolodrum is a large hall — seated programme, no club crush. The crowd comes for the songs, not the pit.

Sofia is 19 March, Varna 21 March. Plovdiv is the last of the three — useful if you are in southern Bulgaria.

What to expect from the set

Living Next Door to Alice, Lay Back in the Arms of Someone, Oh Carol and solo cuts like Midnight Lady are the likely anchors.

Do not expect a hard-rock wall. Expect pop-rock classics, choruses and a live band around Norman, not a full 1970s Smokie reunion.
