Loop Live was an annual live music festival in Sofia, Bulgaria. It started in 2007 and continued for two years, until its last edition in 2009. It was held at Prince Alexander of Battenberg Square. It was free to attend and included new and popular artists. The festival was usually televised a week afterwards on City TV.

The festival was started in order to celebrate two years since City TV's, and one year since Loop mobile network's establishment.[1]
