SPICE Music Festival, one of the biggest names on the Bulgarian festival scene, runs on August 7 and 8, 2026 in Burgas. The site is Morska Gara - the harbour area on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast that over the past few years has turned into one of the biggest summer festival sites in the southeast Balkans. The 2026 edition's theme is music from the 90s to today.

The festival became a major beat in the rhythm of Bulgaria after its first edition in 2023, pulling tens of thousands of visitors from the Balkans and Central Europe. Each year's programme lines up the big names of dancehall, pop, R&B and hip-hop - past headliners include Sean Paul, Sigala, Wyclef Jean and Diversity. For the 2026 edition the full lineup will be announced later, but the fest team is teasing new names from the global pop scene.

Morska Gara in Burgas offers an open-air site right by the sea with capacity for around 25,000. Hotel packages and shuttles from Sofia and Plovdiv are organised around the festival. As a warm-up before the main event, the official pre-party takes place on May 15 with German DJ ATB in Sofia.

Tickets are available via ticketstation.bg, either as one-day or two-day passes. Morska Gara is easy to reach from central Burgas. Burgas is Bulgaria's biggest Black Sea city and an attractive summer destination in its own right. For Macedonian fans of summer festivals, SPICE is one of the closer chances to get this kind of experience.
