The electronic duo takes the stage at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv on July 17
PHILLGOOD announces the second headliner of its second edition – The Chemical Brothers. The British duo, who have turned their concerts into one of the most powerful audiovisual shows in the world, return to Bulgaria to bring the second festival night, July 17, 2027, at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv, to its climax. Within a single weekend, July 16-18, Robbie Williams and the undisputed pioneers of electronic music will take the same stage. The third headliner and more leading names from the global music scene are yet to be announced.
Tickets for PHILLGOOD in various categories are available through the Ticket Station network: three-day tickets from €199 and single-day tickets for the first night from €99. As of today, single-day tickets for the second night are also on sale.
“We want PHILLGOOD to bring the scale of the big European festivals to Plovdiv. We saw it with the first edition, and now, with Robbie Williams and The Chemical Brothers on one stage in one weekend, we’re showing how far we can go together with an audience that believed in us before we had even announced the first name. And the 2027 programme is only just taking shape,” says Stefan Elenkov, Executive Director of Fest Team.
The Chemical Brothers are a rare phenomenon in electronic music. Formed by Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands in Manchester in the early ’90s, they took big beat out of the clubs and into the heart of pop culture. While their hits stormed the charts and their live shows created unprecedented euphoria, The Chemical Brothers built an entire world around their music – a psychedelic rabbit hole of stunning visuals and a sound with the power to make crowds levitate. Their catalogue has passed through generations of music fans: “Hey Boy Hey Girl”, “Block Rockin’ Beats”, “Galvanize”, “Wide Open”, “Got to Keep On”. Over nearly 35 years, the duo has collected multiple Grammy and BRIT Awards, sold over 21 million physical records worldwide, including 6 UK number-one albums, and gathered billions of streams. Their track “Go” features in the Netflix film “Apex” and, more than a decade after its release, returned as a new international hit, followed by the compilation “Go: Apex and Beyond” featuring their most popular tracks. Their latest studio album, “For That Beautiful Feeling”, was met by critics with reviews such as “Electronic titans, as focused on the future as ever” and “After almost 30 years, there’s still no one quite like them”.
At PHILLGOOD, The Chemical Brothers will bring their full show to the shore of the Rowing Base – with their most iconic tracks and the visual world they are known for around the globe.
Tickets for the festival are available through the Ticket Station network: three-day tickets from €199, as well as single-day tickets for the first and second festival nights.
PHILLGOOD is organised by Fest Team OOD as part of the “Heritage 2023” programme of the Plovdiv 2019 Foundation and with the support of Plovdiv Municipality. Follow the news about upcoming PHILLGOOD 2027 artists at phillgood.ink and festteam.bg.
