Sunny Hill Festival 2026 announces major international lineup and Katy Perry headline

Sunny Hill Festival 2026 will take place in Pristina from July 31 to August 2, featuring a roster of top electronic acts such as Keinemusik (Adam Port and Rampa), Seth Troxler, Carlita and Manifest. Organisers said, "This edition is not just a music festival; it is proof of our growth as a global destination. Pristina is welcoming the world," highlighting the event’s role in boosting tourism and the local hotel sector. The festival already sells tickets in more than 50 countries, underscoring its expanding international appeal.

The 2025 edition’s aftermovie showcases performances by Dua Lipa, Shawn Mendes (his first show in Kosovo), Peggy Gou and Anyma, confirming Sunny Hill as the region’s largest music gathering. A memorable moment from the previous year was Dua Lipa’s duet with her father Dukagjin Lipa, which resonated widely on social media. For 2026, pop star Katy Perry has been confirmed as a headline act, sparking additional interest amid speculation about former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau accompanying her. Together, these developments cement Sunny Hill’s status as a key cultural and economic driver for Kosovo.
