PHILLGOOD has announced the third headliner for next year’s edition: Limp Bizkit. As one of the most recognizable nu-metal bands—pioneers in blending heavy guitars with hip-hop, funk, and electronic elements—they will close out the festival on July 18, 2027, at the Rowing Canal in Plovdiv. Over the course of three days, from July 16 to 18, PHILLGOOD 2027 will bring together three world-class acts, each with a distinct sound—as diverse as the festival itself: Robbie Williams, The Chemical Brothers, and Limp Bizkit.
Formed in 1994 in Jacksonville, Florida, Limp Bizkit rank among the most successful nu-metal acts of the 90s, and their influence on rock music remains significant to this day. Their sound is defined by the rap-infused vocals and stage energy of Fred Durst, the experimental guitar work of Wes Borland, the drumming of John Otto, and the scratching and sampling of DJ Lethal. The Bulgarian audience still remembers their first visit to Sofia in 2009, and over the years, they have consistently been named one of the most highly anticipated acts for a concert in the country.
Limp Bizkit’s global breakthrough arrived with the album *Significant Other* (1999), which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and achieved seven-times platinum certification in the United States. It features some of their most beloved songs, such as “Nookie” and “Break Stuff”—the latter of which has now joined the exclusive club of tracks with over 1 billion streams on Spotify! A year later, *Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water* also topped the Billboard 200, selling over a million copies in the U.S. in its first week alone. The band’s hits include fan favorites like “Re-Arranged,” “Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle),” “My Way,” and “My Generation,” as well as their cover of The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes”—which reached the top three on the charts in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Norway—and “Take a Look Around” from the *Mission: Impossible 2* soundtrack. With over 40 million records sold worldwide and three Grammy nominations, Limp Bizkit remain one of the most sought-after festival headliners today. In 2026 alone, the band headlined the Download Festival in the UK, as well as Aftershock and Louder Than Life in the U.S. They will also be performing in Bulgaria at the second edition of PHILLGOOD next summer.
The festival kicks off on July 16 with Robbie Williams, who, in January 2026, surpassed The Beatles to become the artist with the most number-one albums in the history of the British charts—an impressive total of 16. On July 17, The Chemical Brothers—the British duo consisting of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons—will arrive, bringing with them six Grammy Awards and one of the most spectacular audio-visual shows in electronic music. Tickets for PHILLGOOD 2027 are now on sale via the Ticket Station network; three-day passes start at €199, while single-day tickets are available from €99.
PHILLGOOD is a space where music brings together different generations and genres. It is three days during which summer finds its frequency at 432 Hz—a vibration where everything sounds purer, brighter, and more vivid—and Plovdiv once again becomes the epicenter of musical euphoria.
