The second day of the New Wave festival will bring many premieres!
The New Wave Festival has long been more than just a competition for young performers — it is a significant cultural event. Every year it attracts thousands of spectators and millions of TV viewers. The goal of the festival is to discover new names and support talented musicians on their path to success. It is a unique platform for creative exchanges and musical experiments. This year, thanks to an agreement between the event organizer Igor Krutoy and the Kazan authorities, the festival moved from Sochi to the capital of Tatarstan. Igor Krutoy noted that Kazan impresses with its cultural development and the energy of its residents. He also recalled his experience working at the 2013 Universiade, where he acted as the general producer of the ceremonies. Holding the festival in Kazan has been a long-standing dream of local authorities: according to Mayor Ilsur Metshin, more than 100 thousand signatures have been collected in support of this idea.
On the second day of the competition, participants must demonstrate their vocal abilities and artistry by performing world hits. This test requires them not only to master the voice, but also to be able to interpret famous compositions in their own way, adding uniqueness and originality. The jury evaluates not only the vocal skills of the performers, but also their stage charm and ability to win the attention of the audience.
The Day of Premieres for famous artists of the Russian stage is planned for the evening of the second day. This is a long-awaited event for all fans of Russian music: here you will be able to hear new compositions of your favorite performers for the first time. Premiere Day promises to be a bright show with unexpected duets, original productions and a unique festive atmosphere.
Tickets for Premiere Day, the 2nd competition day of the New Wave festival in the New Wave Hall are already available on our website - buy them online quickly and safely! Don't miss the opportunity to become part of this grand musical event in Kazan!
