If you’re already plotting your next summer festival escape, Bulgaria may just have quietly entered the chat.
PhillGood is a brand-new three-day music festival landing in Plovdiv from July 17 to 19 2026, and its first edition is pulling in some seriously heavy hitters, including The Cure, Gorillaz, Kneecap and Moby.
A brand new music festival in one of Europe’s oldest cities
Set at the Rowing Canal in Plovdiv, the festival is positioning itself as more than just a big-name line-up: it’s a multi-stage event built around a mix of global acts, contemporary leftfield artists and a broader festival experience.
PhillGood is running across three days and, according to the festival’s programme, across three distinct stages: the main PhillGood stage, PhillCool and the electronic-focused PhillRave.
That gives the event a broader feel than a straightforward concert weekend, with a schedule that moves from indie and alternative names to electronic and experimental sounds.
Who’s on the line-up at PhillGood
The festival’s current line-up includes names such as The Cure, Gorillaz, Moby, Wolf Alice, Kneecap, Just Mustard, Sleaford Mods and Perturbator.
Recent schedule information also shows acts like Just Mustard, The Subways, ALI and Bulgarian Cartrader appearing across the daily bill, with more artists still being added.
Not to mention DJs such as Daniel Avery, Kelly Lee Owens, HAAi, Swimming Paul and more.
