Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein in Sofia on September 14 - the Stranger Things composers bring audio-visual show to Hall 3 of NDK

Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein, the composers who wrote the musical world of Stranger Things, come to Sofia on September 14, 2026. The show is part of the duo's worldwide retrospective tour and lands at Hall 3 of the National Palace of Culture. This is a special audio-visual show pulling all five seasons of the series together - from the original synth sensibility of 2016 to the climactic compositions of the final season.

Both artists hail from Austin, Texas, where since 2009 they've been part of the synth-wave outfit Survive (otherwise S U R V I V E). The Duffer Brothers picked them for the Stranger Things soundtrack, and the scale of their contribution to the show is one of the reasons every Halloween millennials are still spinning the same synthesisers. Their two Emmy wins are for outstanding original music for a fiction series, and their work is now one of the most popular references for contemporary 80s-influenced electronic music.

The Sofia show is built as a full multimedia experience - the two musicians perform live with their classic synths (Yamaha, Korg, Moog), while a large screen behind them shows scenes, characters and atmospheric visuals from every season of the show. It is the kind of concert experience that is at once a music event, a cinema and a reminder of the huge pop-culture moment Stranger Things created over the last decade. Hall 3 of NDK has capacity for around 700 and the acoustics needed for the intimate atmosphere the show requires.

Tickets are available via ticketstation.bg from 55 euros. The show starts in the evening on Monday, September 14, 2026. For Macedonian fans of the series and of the synth-wave genre, this is one of the biggest chances to experience it live in the neighbourhood.
