Due to great demand, we are adding a second concert. Michal Pavlíček will celebrate his 70th birthday with two concerts at the O2 universum Prague on January 28 and 29, 2026.
Michal Pavlíček will celebrate his seventieth birthday with two unique concerts at the Prague O2 universum on January 28 and 29, 2026. A number of guests will join the Czech music legend over the course of both evenings. In addition to timeless hits from Pražský Výběr, Stromboli, BSP, and other projects Michal Pavlíček has been involved with throughout his rich career, he will also present a new program from his upcoming solo album.
“Throughout my musical journey, I’ve had the privilege of meeting many incredible musicians whom I admire and respect. Fitting them all into one concert is a Herculean task. That’s why I decided to add a second birthday evening, where I’ve invited even more guests. We will play my songs in various interpretations. I’m looking forward to sharing these intoxicating moments of emotion, trance, and the joy of music with them—and especially with you,” says Michal Pavlíček, inviting fans to his birthday concerts.
On the first night, January 28, 2026, Michal’s closest collaborators and colleagues will take the stage. Performers include Bára Basiková, Michael Kocáb, Kamil Střihavka, Ota Balage, Monika Načeva, Vilém Čok, and others.
On the added concert night, January 29, 2026, more of Michal’s friends and colleagues will perform, including Zuzana Michnová, Robert Kodym, Roman Holý, Matěj Ruppert, Robert Křesťan, and more.
Tickets are available through official Ticketmaster and Ticketportal networks.
