Back By Popular Demand One Show on Big Island, Hilo

Blues Bear Hawaii & B97/B93 are proud to present Celtica Nova with special guest “The Dame Of Drones” “AKA” Chelsea The Piper & Duncan Knight performing an Explosive Show with their unique sound of blazing bagpipes, mighty drums and the power of a rock band, CELTICA takes by storm all audiences from Highland Games and town festivals, to bankers and punk rockers. From Europe’s Best-Kept-Secret to International Headliner Professionalism and total commitment at every performance are the band’s key to success: Right away Celtica got booked as headliner of the biggest Celtic/Scottish events in Central Europe; Since their 1st. US-Tour,  Celtica has played over 200 shows in North America coming 10 times to the USA so far.

The majestic sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe soars above a powerful rock band, the masterly played violin expands the unique style with symphonic-epic melodies. Influences of Irish Folk, Symphonic Metal and Scottish tradition merge with the energetic Celtic Rock music, full of lust of life. This sound, as international as the musicians – hailing from Scotland, USA, Bulgaria and Austria – and the spectacular show guarantee a concert no one will ever forget. Fiery torches on the bagpipes and burning drumsticks, thundering against huge drums, create a captivating atmosphere; flames, shooting out of the instruments, entertain audiences worldwide.

That’s why Celtica is one of the most booked acts at Celtic, Scottish, Steampunk, and Medieval festivals. Celtica conquered their fans by storm at more than 450 performances in Europe – from the legendary Wacken-Festival in northern Germany to southern Spain, and at numerous US- and Canada- tours from New York to San Francisco, from Florida up New England, from Alaska to Hawaii. Their music videos inspire 6 million viewers on Youtube, and still counting. 

Celtica received the "International Celtic Artist of the Year"award at the 2019 Australian Celtic Music Awards!
