MOSCOW, July 20 – Trend Wire. The VK Fest music festival in Moscow was visited by 85 thousand people over two days, said the head of VK Fest Zoya Novikova.
In 2026, the festival has already taken place in Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod and St. Petersburg. In Moscow, VK Fest took place on July 18-19.
“This year, 85 thousand people chose us in Moscow… All stages, all workshops worked properly, with love and attention,” she told reporters.
This year VK Fest was held in a new location – on the territory of VDNKh. As Novikova noted, the territory is comparable to last year’s location – Luzhniki. “This is a new festival, a new location, new logistics. At Luzhniki the points were located in a circle – and it was a whirlpool of events, but here at VDNKh there is a beautiful long alley with fountains. It has its own character, its own unique vibe: and, of course, it is open water, greenery – all this gives a completely different impression,” added the head of the festival.
On the first day of the festival, July 18, Zivert, Boulevard Depo, Markul, Tatyana Kurtukova, AK-47 and Tgk, Aarne & Big Baby Tape & Toxi$, Eva Polna, Jony and other artists took to the stage. The next day, tATu, Gone.Fludd, Icegergert, the Pizza group, Slava KPSS, OG Buda, Saluki, Chebanov, Xolidayboy, Mot and Lil Keystall performed for the guests of VK Fest. The secret guests were Vanya Dmitrienko, Basta and Dima Bilan.
For fans of electronic music, Nejtrino, DJ Baldin, Who DJ?, as well as Aria Fredda, Fonarev, Alexander Popov presented their sets.
In addition, on the final day of the festival, the VK Megamix show took place, during which artists of different generations performed. The lineup included Blizkey, Seryabkina, Jasmine, Band’Eros, Hollyflame, Tim Belorusskikh, the groups “Alliance”, “City 312”, “Virus”, Arthur Pirozhkov, Oleg Gazmanov, Alexander Serov and others.
The blue carpet this year consisted of three zones at once: a social fashion show, challenges for stars and an interview with Alena Blin – Tatyana Kurtukova, Dora, Oksana Samoilova, Gluck”oZa, Gleb Kalyuzhny, Anastasia Volochkova, Katya Lel, Natasha Koroleva, Timati, Larisa Dolina and others appeared on it.
