The story

Sofia Live Fest is an annual music festival held in Sofia, Bulgaria, featuring an international lineup over three days. The festival takes place in the summer, specifically from June 25 to June 27, 2027, in Borisova Gradina Park, a central location within the city. The event showcases a variety of music genres and promotes an all-ages atmosphere.

Sofia Live Fest is a 5-day pop, rock festival at Unknown in Sofia, Bulgaria. The September 2027 edition runs 1–5 Sept 2027.

Expect stages split between Pop and Rock.

Everything happens at Unknown, in Sofia. Sofia · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Sofia Live Fest keeps the same calendar slot each year: September 2027 for this edition, opening on a Wednesday and closing on a Sunday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Sofia are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Sofia Live Fest are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 6 nights rather than 5: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4If you fly into Sofia Airport, check the transfer time to Sofia before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow Sofia Live Fest on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
