After a standout debut, AURA Festival is officially back and returning to Sofia Airport Park with its second edition, Temple of Eos, and from the looks of it, this isn’t just a sequel but indeed a full-on evolution.

The 2026 edition brings a serious upgrade with more artists, stages, and a deeper dive into immersive electronic culture with 23 newly announced acts, two additional stages, and a brand-new BACKSTAGE ticket tier, AURA is clearly aiming to cement itself as a major player in Europe’s summer festival circuit.

The latest artist drop adds serious weight across house, techno, and experimental sounds with names like Denis Sulta, Elli Acula, and Gaiser bring underground credibility, while artists such as Parallelle and ONYVAA add a more experimental edge.

They join a previously announced wave of global heavyweights including Alok, Armin van Buuren, and Dimitri Vegas, creating a lineup that balances mainstream appeal with underground depth.

Big moments happen on the main stage where sets from artists like Mahmut Orhan, Topic, and Laura van Dam, alongside crowd-dominating performances from Armin van Buuren and Dimitri Vegas. 

If your taste leans darker and deeper, TOWER stage is where you’ll spend most of your time with artists like Denis Sulta, Elli Acula, and Gaiser, the TOWER Stage focuses on cutting-edge techno and leftfield electronic sounds.

The newest addition MOON stage offers a more stripped-back, discovery-driven vibe featuring acts like Julieta Intergalactica and Julya Karma, this stage is all about connection, experimentation, and those unexpected festival highlights.

AURA stand out in its first year not just coz of the lineup but for the experience that continues in 2026 with a multi-dimensional concept blending music, art installations, and daytime programming designed to keep the energy flowing long before and after the headliners hit the stage. The addition of a BACKSTAGE ticket tier also hints at a more premium, behind-the-scenes experience for those looking to level up their festival weekend.
