The fifth edition of the festival SOFIA ROCKS took place on July 6 at the 'Academic' Stadium in Sofia. The organizers have invited some of the hottest most exciting rock bands – THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS, the punk rockers THE OFFSPRING and Swedish indie rockers MANDO DIAO.

THIRTY SECONDS TO MARS are scrolling the globe, and their tour schedule is more than hectic.

For the first time in Bulgaria we saw and heard live the stars from the best-selling of all time punk rock band THE OFFSPRING. They are scheduled near about 38 concerts in USA and North America.

The Swedish rock band MANDO DIAO also took part in the fifth edition of SOFIA ROCKS. The band was currently working on their 10th album. They jumped into a tour, part of which was their visit in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian fans were among the first one who heard the tracks from Aelita.
