Bring / Leave at home
Bring
- Sunglasses and a hat - the July sun in Plovdiv is no joke
- Sunscreen - future you says thanks in advance
- Comfortable shoes - you will dance more than you planned
- A raincoat - a 20-minute summer storm is sometimes part of the folklore
- A power bank - so you can film the last song of the night too
- ID and bank card - payments are contactless
- Insect repellent - we spray against mosquitoes, but it never hurts. Just not an aerosol - you will not get in with one.
- A good mood - not checked at the gate, but it shows 🙂
Leave at home
- Glass bottles and packaging - safety matters. No glass is sold on site either.
- Food and drinks - everything is inside. You can bring water in a plastic bottle up to 0.75 l, plus baby food or something sweet if you are diabetic.
- Umbrellas - a raincoat is the better friend of the person behind you
- Drones - the sky is for the music and the sunset only
- Professional photo/video gear - without accreditation it stays at home. Shoot with your phone or a point-and-shoot camera (no interchangeable lens)
- Pyrotechnics, weapons and sharp objects - no comment
- A bad mood - there is no cloakroom for it 🙂
The full list of access rules is in the FAQ. Rules for 2027 may be updated before the festival.
You will love Plovdiv
Between the shows, the oldest living city in Europe is part of the festival - from Kapana and the Main Street to the hills and the Maritsa river. Give yourself at least one free afternoon.
The creative industries quarter: galleries, craft beer bars, cafes and photo spots on every corner. This is where festival people gather after the shows.
Revival-era houses, cobblestones and narrow lanes up the hill. Climb up before sunset and see Plovdiv from its best angle.
A 2nd-century Roman theatre that is still a stage today. If you have a free evening - check what is on.
The oldest settlement in the city and the best sunset over Plovdiv. Free, five minutes from the Old Town.
The longest pedestrian street in Europe - from Dzhumaya Square to the Central Post Office, with the Roman Stadium under your feet.
The park in the centre with the Singing Fountains - light, water and music in the evening. A good place for a break between two festival days.
