The legends from the group "Ahat" present their concert in Plovdiv. The event will take place on July 15 on the stage of Youth Hill with FREE ENTRY. The start is at 20:00 h.

AHAT is a Bulgarian rock band, founded in the fall of 1986. Their first documented performance in front of an audience was on December 22 of the same year. After several participations in festivals, AHAT were chosen as a warm-up group for the anniversary tour of Shturtsite. This gives a powerful impetus to the development of the young band.

In 1988 AHAT recorded the song "Black Sheep", which to this day remains one of the brightest emblems of Bulgarian heavy metal. In the summer of the following year the band released their debut album "The March".

In the early 90's they decided to try their luck in the Netherlands. There they participate in a Yamaha competition, making English versions of some of their songs. They are ranked fifth (out of about 500 participants), but are disqualified because the competition is only for Benelux groups. Unfortunately, the group then disbanded.

After a break of several years, in 1998, the band reunited to open the Sofia concerts of the legendary Deep Purple. The band has already changed its cast- the main composer and guitarist Bozhidar Glavev abandons rock and finds harmony in religion. They then went to America to record their next studio project.

In 2003 they reissued "The March" on CD. On June 14, 2003, AHAT played in front of more than 10,000 people at Academic Stadium, where they warmed up the audience for Whitesnake. But their big comeback was actually in the summer of 2003, when they embarked on a major national tour for the first time since 1991. The concerts have been released as a documentary DVD film.

On May 19, 2004, the album "Made in USA" was officially released on the market, in the format of a multimedia CD, cassette, video cassette and DVD. In 2004 AHAT participated together with CONTROL and SHTURTSITE in the Golden BG Rock Tour - a large-scale national tour that passes through sixteen major Bulgarian cities.

In 2005, the band played with Black Sabbath in front of over 15,000 spectators. On the last day of 2006, on the occasion of Bulgaria's accession to the European Union, AHAT have a joint concert with Dio.

In 2017, the members of the band living in Bulgaria embark on a jubilee tour around the country with guest musicians from ANALGIN and special guest Joe Lynn Turner. In the autumn of 2018, AHAT celebrates the 30th anniversary of the release of "The March" with a big concert in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture.

The group's performance is part of the AHAT-Evolution project, which is implemented with the financial support of the One-Year Program for Support of Private Professional Organizations in the Field of Arts 2020 of the National Fund Culture.

The concert in Plovdiv is held with the support of the Municipality of Plovdiv and is with free admission.
