“Druha Rika”: A Special Story That Went Beyond the Stage

Security for concerts, events, corporate gatherings, and mass events is not just a technical task. It’s about trust. About stability. About the calm in which true emotion blossoms. The story of TopGuard is the story of safety for the country's brightest events. But one story is special. That is — “Druha Rika.”

“Druha Rika”: music that transforms people

The Ukrainian rock band “Druha Rika” was founded in 1996 in Zhytomyr. It all began as a sincere passion for British wave music — bands like Radiohead and Depeche Mode influenced their early sound. But very soon the band developed its own unique identity — emotional, deep, honest.

Their first major success came in 2003 with the album “Dva” and the hit “Tak malo tut tebe.” Then came the albums:

• “Ya ye” (2000)
• “Rekordy” (2005)
• “Moda” (2008)
• “Metanoia” (2012)
• “Piramida” (2017)
• “Supernation” (2021)

Their journey has been one of continuous growth, exploration, and honest dialogue with their listeners.

Valeriy Kharchyshyn is the voice of a generation unafraid to speak about depth and meaning.

Together with TopGuard — from early stages to stadiums

The collaboration between TopGuard and “Druha Rika” began back in the days when both teams were just establishing their names. Since then, we’ve walked through many significant and epochal moments in the country's life together.
We’ve seen the band become a living legend.

We have photos with autographs from the band from three different periods:

• The early days
• Their first national success
• The current stage — musical maturity and depth

And each photo is not just a memory. It’s a token of gratitude for years of trust and true friendship.

Our scale: from Deep Purple to Eurovision

We are proud that TopGuard had the honor of providing security and safety at Ukraine’s most important events, including:

• Euro 2012
• UEFA Champions League Final
• Eurovision
• Concerts of world legends: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Depeche Mode, Deep Purple, Anastacia, Scorpions, and more

Each of these projects included our systems, teams, response plans, mobile units, experience, and resilience.

But despite the big names, there are those with whom we share something deeper — not professional, but human. And “Druha Rika” is just such a band. They are a part of our story.

“Druha Rika” + TopGuard — it’s about depth, about rock and roll, about trust.
It’s not about lists of performers. It’s about life we’ve lived together — with music, risk, energy, and confidence at our backs.

Thank you for the path we’ve walked together. Let’s keep going!
