The festival season is well underway, and today is the opening of one of the most scenic rock festivals - the one at the Hotalich fortress near Sevlievo

Since 2017, the ruins of the ancient fortified town have become a stage for Bulgarian rock bands. This year it opens with Kerana and the Cosmonauts, Konkurent, Fandango and Mary Boys Band. Traditionally, the second day of the festival starts with a Sevlievo band - on August 24 it will be Pretty Angelic, followed by Team Dream, Caliberty and Milena and Kikimora.
