Bulgaria is the closest country for a music trip and this year it has a packed schedule: 48 events through July 2027, two festivals and several big names crossing the border. Most take place in Sofia, with isolated dates in Varna and Plovdiv. Here is everything that has been announced, and wherever there’s a Facebook event page, we’ve included it with the concert.
Midalidare Rock In The Wine Valley returns for a seventh year, from July 9 to 11, 2027, at the Midalidare Estate near Mogilovo. The first headliner announced is Dropkick Murphys, who will play on Saturday, July 10. Tickets are sold through Eventim.
