Kiev's Closer-Affiliated Brave! Festival Shares Initial Lineup
Robert Hood, Nastia and more join the first wave of artists to play at Strichka’s sister festival.
The crew behind Kiev’s popular club Closer has been hard at work. In the week leading up to their annual mini-festival, Strichka, they announced that they’d throw another event in August at the site of the Metrobud building in the Ukrainian capital. And now they’ve already revealed the first wave of acts who will participate in the two-night art and music extravaganza. The list so far includes 40 out of about 50 promised acts. Among them are iconic producers like Robert Hood and Egyptian Lover as well as Derrick May‘s recent collaborator Francesco Tristano, revered selectors like Jane Fitz and Jus-Ed as well as various experimental acts and local talents.
Brave! Festival will take place between August 23 and 25.
