In early 2026, Ivan Ilic Tetra Pack presented a new line-up in Barcelona through two concerts at Teatre de Sarrià and Sala Maremar.

These performances marked the first appearances of Ken Ychikawa on drums with the quartet, opening a new phase in the group’s sound and interaction.

The line-up featured:

Edu Cabello – saxophone
Ivan Ilic – guitar
Antonino Restuccia – double bass
Ken Ychikawa – drums

The two concerts were especially interesting as a first opportunity to hear how the new formation worked together live. The combination brought a fresh rhythmic character to the repertoire while keeping the identity and musical direction of Tetra Pack intact.

For Ivan, these concerts were an important step in shaping the quartet’s 2026 activity and developing the chemistry of the new line-up on stage.
