The article Moscow Becomes a Major Music Festival Setting written by Andrei Muchnic was published in The Moscow Times in April, 29. It reports at length that as citizens of the capital of our country now flock to the outdoor oases to play sports, jog or stroll around the parks of Moscow, it means that in the upcoming months they will enjoy to listen to good music there, because the time of open-air music festivals will start soon.
Author says that these festivals are one of the major draws of the re-imagined parks, and Moscow is quickly turning into one of the main European hubs for festivals. In the past, Russian music lovers typically planned to travel abroad every summer. However, many of the same headliners are now coming to Moscow. This situation was completely unthinkable just a couple of years ago when Afisha Picnic was the only open air event in Moscow worth attending.
The article carries a lot of comment on just some of the festivals people are excited about this summer. As soon as Moscow finally wakes up from the seasonal slumber and shakes off the remaining patches of snow, Bosco Fresh Fest will open at Gorky Park. It's a part of a two month long Cherry Tree Forest Festival, which also includes theater performances, film screenings, and book readings. This year's headliner is a French musician, Woodkid, who will perform together with Grammy winner Yury Bashmet's symphonic orchestra on May 20. The festival area will center around the Buran space shuttle, close to the embankment. Hermitage Garden, a small green refuge in the middle of the city, has always been a traditional venue for music festivals. This year Ahmad Tea organizes its third festival here.This year the lineup is no less impressive, with critical darlings Alt-J and dance veterans Hot Chip as headliners. Also this summer the first ever music festival will be organized on the All-Russia Exhibition Center's premises. The concerts will take place on the main alley around the famous Friendship of Nations Fountain. First of all the festival is not just one, but two days in length. Secondly, its lineup includes the two most popular Russian rock artists: Mumiy Troll and Zemfira. Also putting in an appearance will be international heavyweights such as The Killers, Justice, and Crystal Castles. Lastly, Park Live is the first Moscow festival to introduce a night program, which will take place on the Chemical Stage in Pavilion #20, usually used to exhibit Soviet achievements in the chemical industry. The night program's headliners are the famous Australians, Pendulum. Open-air music festivals will take place in July as well - they are Subbotnik in Gorky Park and Afisha Picnic in Kolomenskoye.
As for me, I think such outdoor events, actually in parks is a good chance to spend free time in the city, and of course to meet your friends. My friends and I like to visit music festivals, and I'm sure this summer is no exception.
