Hardwell, Lost Frequencies, Afrojack and more of the world’s best DJs bring a new musical dimension in the heart of Sofia
In June 2025, the capital will host a completely new musical experience. AURA is a three-day festival that combines the best of global electronic music and will transform Arena Sofia (Kolodrum Sofia) into a portal to an extraordinary world. Organised by Fest Team, the event promises to transform the boundaries of the traditional music festival. On June 20, 21 and 22, Arena Sofia will be transformed into the amazing AURA dimension, and the open stage will not only be a musical but also a visual spectacle – a space where music, art and sensory experiences merge into a magical adventure. The first edition of the festival is themed “The Heavenly Gardens”, where the harmony of the AURA universe will depend on the discovery of the ancient Heavenly Key.
Themed stages and zones, a constellation of the world’s best DJs and endless energy – this is the universe of AURA. Headliners include the legendary Hardwell – two-time No. 1 in the prestigious DJ MAG Top 100, one of the most listened to electronic artists in the world – Lost Frequencies and Grammy winner – Afrojack. The main stage will enchant the audience every night with a transforming atmosphere that unites sound, light and stunning visual effects – promising to turn every second into an unforgettable experience.
The lineup is joined by more exceptional artists who will turn Sofia into an electronic music center for three unforgettable days. Australian dynamo duo NERVO will bring their infectious energy and passion for music, and Tujamo – a favorite of festivals such as Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza – will captivate the audience with his signature style.
Mike Williams, known for his collaborations with Tiësto and R3HAB, and Martin Garrix’s rising star Lavern, will add their musical magic to Arena Sofia. British duo GoodBoys, nominated for a Grammy, as well as Seth Hills – a favorite of David Guetta and Armin Van Buuren, a frequent guest at their events in Ushuaïa Ibiza – will lead listeners through the magical gardens of AURA. They are joined by producers Robert Falcon and Gil Glaze, part of top labels such as Spinnin’ Records, Armada Music and STMPD.
AURA is not just a musical event – it is an invitation to travel into the world of an audio-visual fairy tale. Each of the three nights on June 20, 21 and 22 is a step forward in the “The Heavenly Gardens”, which is the theme of the first edition of the festival with the best artists on the world stage.
