This is the third year in which the festival Spirit of Burgas will gather thousands of music fans against the beautiful backdrop of Bulgaria’s Back Sea Coast. Taking place from 13th-15th August on the picture-perfect white sands of the city’s central beach, the festival will play host to some of the finest local and international artists, including the eagerly anticipated return of The Prodigy plus Gorillaz Sound System (DVJ), Serj Tankian, Apollo 440, DJ Shadow and Andy C who will all perform in the Bulgaria for the first time with many more names still to be announced.

Launched in 2008, Spirit of Burgas was the first event of its kind in the country offering a variety of stages and diverse range of artists covering all genres of music. The festival has continued to grow each year and was nominated for ‘Best European Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards in 2008 and for the ‘Best Overseas Festival’ category in 2009. In the same year The Times named SPIRIT as one of the Top 20 European Music Festivals and a program about the festival was broadcast across the MTV European Network in 16 countries. In 2010 the festival was also shortlisted for the ‘Best Medium Sized Festival‘ category at the inaugural European Festival Awards in January 2010.

This years event will feature over 100 acts across 7 stages, showcasing the best local and regional artists alongside top international acts. And what better location to experience it than Burgas city beach, with stunning views of the Black Sea coastline, stretching over 20 km.
