Sunwaves Festival has officially revealed the full lineup for SW37, marking a major new chapter as the festival heads to Bulgaria for the first time.
Set to take place from April 30 to May 5, 2026, at PR Beach, Golden Sands, Varna, the upcoming edition will bring Sunwaves’ unmistakable format back to the Black Sea with four stages, marathon sets and a lineup deeply rooted in underground electronic music culture.
The festival will begin on Thursday, April 30 at 22:00 and run non-stop until Tuesday, May 5 at 23:59, staying true to the long-form experience that has defined Sunwaves since its beginnings.
This year’s lineup once again reflects the identity the festival has built over nearly two decades, bringing together key figures of the global underground scene alongside artists closely connected to its core community. Names on the bill include Ricardo Villalobos, Marco Carola, Loco Dice, Joseph Capriati, Paco Osuna, Sonja Moonear, Raresh, Priku, Arapu, alongside a wide selection of artists including Archie Hamilton, Traumer, Maher Daniel, Ion Ludwig, Rhadoo, tINI, Vlad Caia, Herodot, Dan Andrei and many more.
Since launching in 2007, Sunwaves has built a reputation that goes far beyond a typical festival. Known for its extended DJ sets, sunrise sessions and deeply connected dancefloor, the event has become a reference point for those who value a more immersive and uncompromised electronic music experience.
The move to Bulgaria represents a new chapter, but not a change in direction. The festival continues to focus on what has always mattered most: the music, the atmosphere and the community that returns year after year.
