Cathartica Fest 2026

CATHARTICA FEST 2026

Three locations. One city. One descent into catharsis.

For the first time in Bulgaria, the biggest industrial festival expands beyond a single space — transforming Sofia into a multi-stage ritual of sound, pressure, and release.

Across 24 nonstop hours, three unique locations awaken with industrial energy, bringing together the strongest local forces and international acts from across the underground.
What started as a movement now takes over the city.

The biggest industrial gathering in Bulgaria
10 international acts from across the world
15+ local artists shaping the future of the Balkan underground
3 unique stages. 24 hours nonstop. No escape.

From night to morning, from darkness to awakening, every stage becomes its own world — connected through rhythm, intensity, and collective release.

Expect:
Unrelenting industrial pressure that doesn't let go
Hypnotic visuals and immersive atmospheres
Live performances built for full sensory impact
A gathering of the underground united as one force

You will move. You will break. You will become part of it. Together.
