The final lineup for Hills of Rock 2026 is here, and it’s looking like a seriously cool festival trip for anyone travelling from the UK.
Taking place from 24th to 26th July at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, the three day festival has confirmed P.O.D. as the final addition, completing a 46 act bill spread across three stages.
P.O.D. will hit the stage on the opening day, July 24th. Formed back in 1992 in San Diego, the band have carved out their own lane with a blend of hard rock, hip hop, reggae and alternative sounds. With over 10 million albums sold and three Grammy nominations under their belt, they’re the kind of act who remind you why live music matters. Their energy is infectious, their connection with crowds is real, and they’re a perfect fit for a festival that thrives on that spirit.
They join a stacked lineup headlined by Marilyn Manson, Godsmack and Electric Callboy, with Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter, Black Label Society, Lamb of God, Nothing More, Paradise Lost, Of Mice & Men, Vended, Deafheaven, Northlane, Orbit Culture, The Toy Dolls and H09909 among the highlights. There’s a strong showing of Bulgarian talent too, with acts like Odd Crew, P.I.F. and Innerglow representing the local scene.
As if the main festival wasn’t enough, there’s also a separate pre-festival day on July 23rd called BE4 HILLS, featuring Sabaton, Savatage, Epica and Bulgaria’s Sevi. That alone would be worth the trip.
Limited edition official merch for the 2026 edition is currently available at festteam.shop, produced in restricted quantities and only on sale for a short window, so move fast if you want it.
