Alternative festival location this summer: try Ukraine!

Written by 

KaZantip Republic returns to the beautiful Crimean Black Sea coast for a mammoth month of madness as it celebrates its 19th year of celebrations this summer.


The festival starts at the end of July and continues through the month of August, finishing on the 27th. Described as the wildest, liveliest, longest and most unusual electronic music event, the KaZantip Republic exists in a parallel reality to the rest of world, described by its PreZident as: “summer all year round” and “life with no pants”. Oo-er.

The festival encourages people to express themselves: DJs, musicians, producers, film makers, designers, performers, ‘freaks’, beautiful dancing girls and toned kite-surfing boys all come together to make beautiful music and art in the sunshine-kissed country of Ukraine.  The 24-hour parties and community of crazy people have been compared to the colourful communities in Ibiza and of the Burning Man festival.

World-class electronic music artists such as Sven Vath, Dubfire, Timo Maas, M.A.N.D.Y., Seth Troxler, dOP, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, LTJ Bukem, Oliver Huntemann, James Zabiela, Stanton Warriors, Guy Gerber and Rhadoo have all graced the stages over the past years.
