SPICE Music Festival 2026
Bulgaria's biggest festival for 90s and 2000s hits.
On 7 and 8 August, Morska Gara — Burgas will once again bring together thousands of fans of the music of the 90s and the start of the new century for two days filled with unforgettable hits, emotions and festival spirit.
This year too, the stage of SPICE Music Festival will gather artists whose songs still play today on radio stations, in clubs and at festivals all over the world.
The special highlight of this year’s edition is the global superstar Luis Fonsi, who comes to the SPICE Music Festival stage for the first time. His song “Despacito” changed the history of Latin pop music and has over 9 billion views on YouTube. Besides it, the audience will also hear live others of his biggest hits, which have made Luis Fonsi one of the most beloved Latin artists in the world.
