In June 2026, Sofia will become a meeting point of mythology, sound and visual magic. The second edition of AURA FESTIVAL introduces the thematic world Temple of Eos – a three-day musical journey where each night unfolds as its own ritual. From 19 to 21 June, the festival’s new location, Sofia Airport Park, will be transformed into a living, breathing universe where music, stage architecture, installations and world-class artists merge into an immersive experience that continues until dawn.

For 2026, AURA gathers some of the biggest names in the global electronic scene – artists usually seen at Tomorrowland, Coachella or Burning Man, who will now take over a Bulgarian stage and turn Sofia into the new capital of the most cutting-edge electronic genres.
The opening night will be led by Brazilian superstar ALOK, currently DJ #3 in the world and one of the most recognisable names in electronic music, with millions of followers and global hits. As night falls, the festival shifts into its nocturnal ritual with Mahmut Orhan – one of the biggest global phenomena of recent years, known for his signature sound and mystical atmosphere that carries audiences straight into sunrise.

Night two will be headlined by Dimitri Vegas – two-time DJ #1 in the world as part of the legendary duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, a Tomorrowland resident and a trend-setting force for more than two decades. The nocturnal ritual belongs to none other than ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U – one of the most talked-about techno artists of 2025–2026, known for his extremely limited and highly sought-after performances.

The final day will close with a performance by the iconic Armin van Buuren – five-time DJ #1 in the world and one of the most influential artists in the history of electronic music, returning to Bulgaria with his most spectacular show here to date. His set will serve as the culmination of the Temple of Eos story – the final ritual in a three-day narrative connecting music, visual spectacle and community into one unified experience.
The lineup will also include a range of international and local artists who further expand the Temple of Eos journey, among them 999999999, Avalan Rokston, BIIA, Blathoven, BOBe, Gallya, Jesabel, Laura van Dam, MATTN, Topic, World Up DJs (Dimo BG, Milen DJ, Silver Ivanov & Vasco C), Youna.
