Music icon Billy Idol will headline the Release Sofia Festival on July 4, 2027 at Sofia Live Park, Bulgaria’s new open‑air venue, as announced by the festival organizers on Thursday.
Sofia Live Park will host Idol’s performance, marking his second visit to Bulgaria after a 2006 show in Kavarna on the Black Sea. The festival will announce additional acts from its lineup shortly, the organizers said.
Idol’s career, spanning nearly five decades, includes hits such as “Dancing With My”, “White Wedding”, and “Rebel Yell”. The Release Sofia Festival noted that he will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2026 on November 14, 2026, alongside long‑time collaborator Steve Stevens.
Unconfirmed: The festival’s Instagram account posted a brief announcement on June 23, 2027, mentioning ticket presales beginning November 11 and general sales to follow, but no detailed information about dates, pricing, or confirmed line‑up beyond Idol has been released. The source appears incomplete and has not been verified by the festival’s official channels.
As the event approaches, fans can expect further details on the lineup and ticketing as confirmed by the festival’s official media outreach.
