On July 4, 2027, music icon Billy Idol will headline the Release Sofia Festival at Sofia Live Park in Bulgaria, organizers announced, per the Bulgarian News Agency (BTA). The open‑air venue sits within the grounds of Sofia Airport Park, making it the capital’s newest stage for big‑name acts.
The event is billed as Idol’s second visit to Bulgaria, following a 2006 show in Kavarna on the Black Sea, BTA noted. The 2027 concert also dovetails with the artist’s planned induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 14, 2026, according to BTA.
Tickets begin an artist presale on November 11 at 10:00 AM, as announced on Idol’s Instagram account, with a general sale to follow later that month.
The festival organizers added that they will soon reveal additional performers slated for the July program, though no names have yet been disclosed.
Although the Hollywood Reporter website was listed among the sources checked, it did not corroborate any details specific to the release Sofia concert beyond general coverage of music festivals.
