HAAi, Sofia Kourtesis & Erol Alkan Join The Cure and Gorillaz at PHILLGOOD Festival

Brand-new Bulgarian indie-electronic festival PHILLGOOD have come through to announce a third stage, PHILLRAVE, dedicated entirely to electronic music.

Designed as a home for electronic music and contemporary club culture, PHILLRAVE brings together internationally recognised artists from across techno, acid, house and leftfield electronic scenes.

The opening night sees Acid Arab, Daniel Avery and Erol Alkan set the tone, joined by Ison. On 18 July, the focus shifts to forward-facing club sounds with Sofia Kourtesis, HAAi, Bulgarian favourite KiNK and Raredub. The final night closes with Kelly Lee Owens, Pretty Girl, Swimming Paul and Liubo Ursiny, bringing the stage to a close with immersive, dance-led sets.

Alongside the new stage, PHILLGOOD has announced a further wave of artists across its already revealed programming, continuing to expand its musical scope. The festival’s growing international profile is reflected in its audience, with over 25% of tickets already sold outside Bulgaria, including attendees travelling from across Europe as well as Iceland, China, Mexico, Brazil and Kazakhstan, positioning Plovdiv firmly on the global summer festival map.

Elsewhere across the site, Son Lux and Los Bitchos join previously announced headliners The Cure, Gorillaz and Moby, rounding out a heavyweight lineup for the festival’s inaugural edition this July.
