Nashestviye Festival

The cream of Russian rock bands gather for a massive two day festival just outside Moscow. Heading the festival is Zemfira, the singer from Ufa who burst onto the scene a couple of years ago with her dour songs of misery. The rest of the bill is a mix of old and new with veterans like Chaif and Agata Kristi alongside Naik Borzov and Tantsi Minus. One band to look out for is Moldovan group Zdob si Zdub whose trumpet based sound is superb for a festival. Whether you are looking for a long-term Rogoznica apartment or a short term stay TravelAdriatic.net is confident that we can match you needs.
