The tribute show Smooth Criminal - The Live MJ Experience comes to Bulgaria for the first time on November 20, 2026. The spectacle is at Joy Station in Sofia, starting at 8 p.m.

The show is dedicated to Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. On stage are a live band, several vocalists, dancers recreating the most famous choreographies, and costumes inspired by the King of Pop's legendary performances, backed by video projections. The production has already toured the region, including Bucharest.

The programme includes "Billie Jean", "Beat It", "Thriller", "Smooth Criminal" and "Dirty Diana", as well as "ABC" from the Jackson 5 days. The organisers claim it's not just another tribute but a recreation of the atmosphere of a real Michael Jackson production. We hear that line with every show of this kind - but a live band instead of a backing track is a concrete difference.

Tickets on bilet.bg cost 35 to 55 euros, roughly 2,160 to 3,390 denars.
