About this event
French DJ and producer Charles B plays the open-air stage in front of the Alexander Nevsky cathedral to launch the Gala in Sofia festival. It is an unusual pairing — club electronics against gold domes — and the only night of the festival that costs nothing, with the paid opera evenings following on 25 and 27 August.
Why we picked it
A free headline set on Sofia's most iconic square, and the free way into an otherwise ticketed festival.
Free entry
Listed as вход свободен (free entry) for the 23 August opening only; the 25 and 27 August Gala concerts are ticketed.
