Three-day Early Bird tickets for the next edition of the festival in 2027 are now on sale

PHILLGOOD gathered 45 thousand people at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv this weekend for the first edition of the festival, and Moby put the finale yesterday with an incredible show. Over 35 international and Bulgarian bands took to the three stages of PHILLGOOD and filled the hearts of music lovers. The audience was more than colorful and diverse – people of different ages and from different countries united under the sign of good music. Over a quarter of the tickets sold for PHILLGOOD were bought from abroad, which already categorically puts Bulgaria on the map of international festival culture.

The debut edition of the festival started and ended more than impressively. On the first night, the British rock band The Cure rocked with a set of over two hours, and on the next, the animated Gorillaz filled the main stage with 20 thousand fans. The headliner show on the last night of PHILLGOOD was entrusted to Moby. With hits and favorite songs throughout his career, the American artist made his big return to the Bulgarian scene. With attention and genuine attitude towards the audience, Moby made the third night of the festival special, and after each song he thanked the fans.

Before him, the main stage was pulsating to the rhythm of rock and industrial sound. The program of the third festival day was opened by the American band Son Lux, and after them the Germans from Einstürzende Neubauten showed that for over 40 years of career, they continue to be as interesting and loved by the people. The headliner show was warmed up by the British rock band Suede, who made the audience jump and sing in one voice with the performers.
The PHILLCOOL and PHILLRAVE stages for another day offer a rich variety of international and Bulgarian artists and styles. Indie rock band Hug or Handshake kicked off PHILLCOOL’s program under the scorching sun, followed by duo Lunikk and electronic pop group Kadebostany. The festival’s “afterparty” was taken care of by Thievery Corporation, who performed a perfect set with their biggest and favorite compositions, which lasted nearly two hours. And PHILLRAVE once again brought together popular names from the club scene such as Liubo Ursiny, Pretty Girl, Kelly Lee Owens and Swimming Paul.
