The largest Francophone music festival in the world, Les Francofolies, will return to Bulgaria this year.

The Bulgarian edition of the festival will take place at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv, on June 16 and 17.

Among the first big names who have confirmed their participation in the Bulgarian edition of the festival are Imany, Laura Pergolisi, the rap star Maitre Gims, Helena Paparizou and others.

Les Francofolies is a music festival founded in 1985 in La Rochelle, France, and aims at promoting French-language music.

After five editions in Bulgaria's Blagoevgrad, this year the French-language music festival will be held in Plovdiv for the first time. The event is part of the "Heritage 2023" program of the Plovdiv 2019 foundation and is being implemented with the support of the Municipality of Plovdiv.
