The gig will be part of the 10th edition of the festival Arena Muzika, organized by Sofia Music Enterprises, which will also feature Swedish pop duo Roxette.

Sting will arrive to Bulgaria with a symphony orchestra and band. His concert will be part of his Symphonicity World Tour, which features the musician's greatest hits with symphonic arrangement.

Selections, created especially for this tour, will include fan-favorites such as "Every Breath You Take", "Englishman in New York", "Fragile", "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You", "Fields of Gold", and "Desert Rose".
