Kovacs Tbilisi Concert: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Tbilisi)

A smoky Dutch voice, one night only

Kovacs plays Republic Event Hall in Tbilisi on October 24, 2026. Sharon Kovacs is the Dutch singer behind “My Love”. That 2015 single, slow and brass-heavy, carried her onto radio across Europe. Her voice is low and grainy, and reviewers have long compared it to Amy Winehouse.

Her debut album, Shades of Black, came out in 2015. Its songs use twanging western guitar, dramatic strings and torch-song phrasing instead of club beats. The live show is built around that voice, with songs that start quietly and then get much bigger.

The night at Republic Event Hall

This is a one-off headline concert, not a festival slot. No support act or set times appear in this guide, because none were supplied to us. At Tbilisi concerts, door and start times are normally printed on the e-ticket.

Late October in Tbilisi means autumn. Afternoons are often mild but evenings get noticeably cooler. Attendees usually bring a jacket for the trip home, since the end of a show means queueing outdoors for a ride.

Many visitors combine the concert with a few days in the city:

• Old Tbilisi and Abanotubani: the sulphur bathhouses with brick domes under Narikala Fortress
• Rustaveli Avenue: the main boulevard, with the Opera and Ballet Theatre and the Parliament building
• Fabrika: a former Soviet sewing factory in Chughureti, now a hostel with courtyard bars

Getting there and back

Bolt is the app most Tbilisi concertgoers use. Fares appear in the app before you confirm, so there is no haggling. When a show ends, demand jumps. Regulars walk a block or two away from the exit and order their ride from a quieter street.

Visitors usually stay in Sololaki, Old Tbilisi, Vera or around Rustaveli Avenue. From any of these, a taxi to a concert venue is a short city ride. The Tbilisi Metro runs two lines, Akhmeteli–Varketili and Saburtalo. It works well for getting to the centre during the day, but taxis are the normal choice after a late show.

Lari, Bolt and khinkali before the show

The currency is the Georgian lari (GEL). Cards and contactless payments work almost everywhere in central Tbilisi, including most venue bars. Tipping is relaxed. Many restaurants add a service charge to the bill, so diners usually look at the receipt to see whether it is included before leaving anything extra.

Most fans eat before the concert, and in Tbilisi that usually means Georgian food:

• Khinkali: soup dumplings eaten by hand. Hold the twisted knot, bite a small hole, sip the broth, then eat the rest. Locals leave the knot on the plate.
• Adjaruli khachapuri: a boat of bread filled with cheese, butter and an egg, which you stir together at the table
• Natural wine: many bars in Sololaki pour qvevri wines, which are fermented in clay vessels buried in the ground

Georgians eat late, so a dinner reservation in the early evening rarely competes with local crowds. Show-night ticket details, including door times, are on the e-ticket. Most people show it on their phone at the entrance.
