The highly anticipated Sunny Hill Festival 2026 is set to return to Prishtina, Kosovo, next week, bringing a massive wave of international talent to the Sunny Hill Festival Park in Bërnica. Running from July 31 through August 2, the event continues its tradition of bridging global pop culture with the vibrant energy of the Balkans.
This year’s headliner is none other than Katy Perry, who leads a diverse and high-energy lineup. Joining her on the main stage are electronic music heavyweights Martin Garrix and the acclaimed duo Adam Port and Rampa of Keinemusik. The festival also promises sets from Lewis Capaldi, Seth Troxler, PAWSA, and Carlita, ensuring a blend of pop anthems and underground dance rhythms.
Beyond the international headliners, the festival remains deeply committed to showcasing the rich talent of the Albanian diaspora. The 2026 bill features performances by Dhurata Dora, Ledri Vula, MC Kresha, Lyrical Son, and GJIN. Additionally, the enigmatic rapper EsDeeKid is slated to make an appearance, adding a unique flair to the weekend’s programming.
Founded in 2018 by Dukagjin Lipa and promoted internationally by his daughter, global superstar Dua Lipa, the festival has grown into a cultural phenomenon. According to organizers, the event draws over 100,000 attendees from nearly 60 countries annually. Its legacy is built on a history of stellar performances from artists like Miley Cyrus, Calvin Harris, Shawn Mendes, J Balvin, Stormzy, Burna Boy, and Peggy Gou.
