The New Wave Festival is preparing a Premiere Day for us, filled with new songs, duets and images!

The festival will feature six concerts over six days, with more than fifty Russian stars taking part. Now this bright musical event will be held not in Sochi, but in Kazan — thanks to the decision of the organizer and permanent chairman of the jury Igor Krutoy. Such famous artists as Kirkorov, Allegrova, Chebotina, Buzova, Lazarev and Pavliashvili will perform on stage. The Russian-Belarusian group "IOWA" will also present their new compositions. Festival guests will have a unique opportunity to be the first to hear fresh musical works from popular performers. Particular attention is focused on Lolita, whose performance was previously cancelled; her fans are eagerly awaiting both new songs and already beloved hits. Tatyana Kurtukova's performance promises to be a pleasant surprise: her song "Mother" won the hearts of many listeners thanks to the sincerity and depth of her performance.

The history of the festival is rich in discoveries: such stars as Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, Anastasia Stotskaya and Tina Karol once began their careers here. The festival not only gave them a start in their careers, but also helped them win public recognition. In addition to the competition program, "New Wave" is known for its gala concerts with world stars, which makes it one of the most memorable musical events of the year. Last year, the winners were Anait Akopyan, Khvicha Lukka and Anar Agayev. The Audience Award was deservedly received by our charming compatriot Denberel Oorzhak. A special prize from Igor Krutoy went to Erik Panich. Who will be the winner this year? We will find out closer to the end of the summer! In the meantime, tickets for the Premiere Day — the second competitive day of the New Wave festival — are already on sale on our website. Don't miss your chance to become part of this grand international music festival in Kazan!
