The first performance of the group is to take place on January 30 in Yerevan.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced on Facebook the creation of his own musical group.

It is called "Varchaband." The name is formed from the first two syllables of the Armenian word "varchapet" ("prime minister") and the English "band" ("group").

The first performance of the group is to take place on January 30 in Yerevan.

On January 19, 2026, Pashinyan published a video of the musical group. It included a pianist, a guitarist, a saxophonist and two female vocalists. At the same time, he promised to invite young people to a disco. Three days later, the politician stopped accepting applications for the event, where he would play drums, as there were too many people willing to participate.
