On August 22, 2025 at 19:30 in Kazan's New Wave Hall the first competition day of the New Wave festival will start, which will be supplemented by a creative evening dedicated to Larisa Dolina
The transfer of the New Wave festival to Kazan symbolizes not just a change of location, but the opening of a new chapter in the history of this popular musical event. Initially conceived to search for young talents and exchange experiences between performers from different countries, the festival has become an important cultural phenomenon. Over the years of its existence, it has launched the careers of many performers whose names are now known far beyond their home countries. The main goal of the New Wave is to support young talents and strengthen international cultural ties through the exchange of creative ideas. In addition, the festival gives viewers vivid impressions and unforgettable emotions. The move to Kazan promises to breathe new life into this event and give it a new sound. Tatarstan, with its rich history and culture, will be an excellent venue for such a large-scale event.
One of the favorite traditions of the festival remains creative evenings in honor of outstanding figures of art. At these evenings, famous artists perform popular hits of the anniversary celebrants in new interpretations, paying tribute to their work. This always becomes a bright event, allowing you to rediscover your favorite songs and the talent of recognized masters. On the first day of the competition, there will be a concert by Larisa Dolina, a singer with a unique voice and a wide range of five octaves. She is compared to such world-class stars as Whitney Houston and Gloria Gaynor. Dolina masterfully performs both pop songs and classical music, jazz and blues. During her career, she has released many albums, each of which became a significant event on the country's music scene. Her songs tell about love and life, touching the hearts of listeners. In the evening, her hits will be performed by famous stars of the national stage, creating an atmosphere of joy and good mood for all festival participants.
Tickets for the first competition day of the "New Wave" and the creative evening of Larisa Dolina are already available on our website - hurry to buy them right now!
