Welcome to
RADAR Festival Beyond Music

13-th festival edition will take place from July 24 to 26, when we will transform the beautiful courtyard of the Archaeological Museum into a shared musical space where jazz, neoclassical, electronic, and improvisational music intertwine naturally. Once again, RADAR Festival 2026 brings together some of Europe’s most interesting contemporary musical voices on one stage, united by their desire to explore new musical directions. This year, the festival will highlight the significant presence of women in the international music scene. Performers include the British soul and jazz sensation Ayanna Witter-Johnson; the composer, pianist, and singer Lisa Morgenstern, who co-authored the music for the hit Netflix series The Empress and was awarded an International Emmy; and the Danish cellist and composer Josefine Opsal, who will deliver a captivating performance. The program also features Dimitar Gorchakov’s original music, which intertwines jazz, folklore, and electronics, as well as Paul Jarre and Jim Black’s free jazz improvisations with an indie rock flavor. The highlight of the festival will be the premiere of Dimitar Bodurov’s project D-tonator, which combines classical composition and electronic music. A string quartet from the world-famous Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam will participate in the performance. Summer evenings dedicated to music and discovering something new await us. Come share them with us under the stars!

RADAR Festival aims to expand the boundaries of cultural life in Varna. We present music projects that coherently bring together diverse artistic forms such as film, video art, poetry, contemporary theater and dance, as well as perhaps the most creative sector in our modern life – technology. Our RADAR detects the intersections between different musical genres and trends, as well as between music and other forms of art. Our RADAR seeks creativity that goes beyond traditional boundaries; explores the purity of artistic expression and assists in the process of unfolding authentic experience. RADAR creates a space for an invigorating unexpected encounter with a new aesthetic.
