For the 15th time, Mindya Rock Fest is welcoming rock music fans and musicians 25-26 August, the founder of the festival, political analyst Prof. Evgenii Dainov said at a press conference ahead of the rock festival.
Ten bands will be playing on the open air stage in the village of Mindya, not far from Veliko Turnovo, with popular Bulgarian musicians playing on the first night – Vasil Georgiev a.k.a Vasko Krupkata (the Patch), Razvigor Popov and other musicians, known as GMO, an abbreviation that actually stands for “Georgi Minchev Orchestra”, Bobo, Tosho and Tabakov, Delta Roosters and Blues Traffic. A newcomer is expected this year – Sakis Dovolis Trio from Greece.
Five more bands will be performing on Saturday night - The Drivers, Herman’s Wolf Band, Silhouette, Poduene Blues Band, as well as Prof. Daynov’s own band Magistri. The guest houses in the village being full up, the organizers have set up tent camps which can also accommodate campers and caravans.
