The event, which is the newest addition to Bulgaria’s music calendar, is an innovative urban culture and music festival that follows European standards aiming to create and foster connections between people through music. This event received immense media coverage in Bulgaria and abroad, with national broadcaster BTV naming Sofia Live Festival the “Event of 2021.”

Sofia Live Festival takes place in the garden of King Boris the 3rd, at the cycling track, and has additional indoor venue shows at Sofia Live Club.
