Lili Ivanova, the biggest name in Bulgarian pop music, arrived in Paris on Friday for her concert that will be hosted by the Olympia on Sunday. This will be Ivanova's second concert in the legendary venue, after on January 9, 2009, she became the first Bulgarian artist to perform there.

After she was met with a bouquet of roses, Ivanova wrote "Merci beaucoup!" [thank you very much] on her Facebook page.

The Olympia wrote on its website: "Lili Ivanova is the greatest figure in Bulgarian popular music. For more than 65 years, she has embodied the passion and excellence of an extraordinary artist. A true living legend, she has performed over 10,000 shows and recorded more than 600 songs, releasing over 40 solo albums, most of them certified platinum. [...] Her unique voice – both powerful and sensitive – transcends genres: pop, chanson, and jazz. A symbol of elegance and artistic constancy, Lili Ivanova remains the embodiment of the soul of Bulgarian song."

Following the announcement of the concert last November, Lili Ivanova extended special thanks to Gerard Pont, global director of the FrancoFolies Festival and CEO of Morgane Groupe; and to Hristina Kambitova, director of FrancoFolies de Bulgarie. In June 2025, the singer participated for the first time in the FrancoFolies programme in Plovdiv, South Central Bulgaria.

In Paris, Ivanova’s concert will feature the LI Orchestra, which includes Angel Dyulgerov, Orlin Tsvetanov, Ognyan Enev, Ivan Yordanov-Cheri, Hristo Mihalkov, Rosen Vatev, and LaTiDa.
