Hills of Rock 2026 has locked in its full lineup, completing a three-day, 46-band bill headlined by Marilyn Manson, Godsmack, and Electric Callboy at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, from July 24–26—with San Diego's P.O.D. announced as the final addition to round out the card.

The festival spans three stages over three nights, pulling together generations of rock and metal under one sprawling program that runs from afternoon into the late hours each day. The full schedule, arranged by day and time, is live now on the official festival website, with three-day and single-day tickets available via Ticket Station.

P.O.D.—who close the lineup announcement and open the festival on July 24 — are no strangers to the Bulgarian crowd. Formed in 1992 in San Diego, the band carved out a singular lane by fusing hard rock, hip-hop, reggae, and alternative into something that's sold over 10 million albums, earned three Grammy nominations, and built a fiercely devoted international fanbase. Their live shows have a reputation for being exactly that: live, direct, and all-in.

The Hills of Rock 2026 lineup stretches across the full spectrum of heavy music and beyond. On the heavier end: Black Label Society, Lamb of God, Vended, Northlane, Orbit Culture, Deafheaven, Of Mice & Men, Nothing More, Paradise Lost, and the long-awaited return of Nevermore. The Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter and The Toy Dolls add a punk thread, while H09909 and Karen Dió push into more experimental territory. A deep roster of Bulgarian artists: Odd Crew, Khanъ, Vrani Volosa, Tsar Plah, Hellion Stone, and many more, ensures the local scene is well-represented.

Before the main festival kicks off, a separate concert day—BE4 HILLS (Before Hills)—takes place on July 23, featuring Sabaton, the reunited Savatage, Dutch symphonic powerhouse Epica, and Bulgaria's own Sevi.

Alongside the lineup announcement, Hills of Rock has also dropped a limited-edition 2026 merch collection, produced in restricted quantities and available exclusively online.
