Global hip-hop star ASAP Rocky is set to perform in Bulgaria for the first time, with a concert scheduled in Sofia on October 9, 2026. The show will take place at Arena 8888 Hall and is organized by Fest Team as part of his international “Don’t Be Dumb” world tour, which spans more than 40 countries across Europe and the United States.

Born Rakim Mayers, ASAP Rocky is widely recognized as a rapper, producer, actor, and fashion figure, and is considered one of the most influential names in global pop culture. With more than 25 billion streams worldwide, his arrival in Bulgaria comes during a major phase of his career, marked by the release of his long-anticipated fourth studio album, also titled “Don’t Be Dumb.”

Interest in the album has been exceptionally high even before its official release, with pre-orders surpassing 1 million on Spotify and early sales reportedly exceeding 130,000 copies. The project also features a wide list of collaborators, including Tyler, The Creator, Gorillaz, Doechii, Brent Faiyaz, Danny Elfman, Thundercat, Westside Gunn, Jon Batiste, Jessica Pratt, Slay Squad, BossMan Dlow, and will.i.am. The album cover was designed by filmmaker and illustrator Tim Burton.
