On July 23, 2026, just one day before the official start of HILLS OF ROCK 2026, the stage at Plovdiv’s Rowing Canal will open with a brand-new standalone concert day — BE4 HILLS (Before Hills).
Four new bands join Fest Team’s summer 2026 calendar: Swedish metal powerhouse Sabaton, the cult Savatage, Dutch symphonic metal band Epica, and Bulgarian rock act Sevi will take the stage in Plovdiv as part of the special BE4 HILLS event.
This new full concert day features four shows and serves both as an independent event and as an extended festival experience for those who can’t wait to start the Hills week early — turning the festival into a four-day celebration instead of three.
Access to BE4 HILLS requires a separate ticket, available from Tuesday, October 28, via Ticket Station, priced at 99 BGN for HILLS OF ROCK 2026 ticket holders and 120 BGN for all others.
