On April 22, 2025, Valery Meladze gave a long-awaited concert at one of the most prestigious concert venues in the world—the Royal Albert Hall in London. This event became a true celebration for all the artist’s fans who gathered in the hall from around the world. Both long-loved hits—“Sera,” “Heavens,” “How Beautiful You Are Today”—and newer compositions were performed.
A special highlight of the evening was the invited guests. Konstantin Meladze, Valery’s brother and composer who wrote the music and lyrics for all the songs, took the stage. The joint performance of the song “My Brother” was a true gift to the audience. A touching and vivid moment was the performance of Valery’s wife, Albina Dzhanabaeva, who sang the songs “Actress” and “No More Attraction” in a duet with Valery. A surprise for the audience was the participation of Valery and Albina’s son, Luka, who accompanied his father on guitar in the song “Light the Fire” and played the saxophone in “Sera.” The concert at the Royal Albert Hall became a significant milestone in Valery Meladze’s touring history, confirming his status as one of the most beloved and respected performers among Russian-speaking audiences. Since 2022, Meladze has been on the Russian Federation’s blacklist of artists due to his strong condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
