The Kinchev Fest festival has started on the shore of the Gulf of Finland

On September 5, the fourth Kinchev Fest festival starts in St. Petersburg, which once again gathers fans of heavy music on the shores of the Gulf of Finland. The program includes two days of rock concerts, including performances by dozens of bands, including the legend of Russian rock band Alice.

Everything is ready at the Muz Port venue: the sound has been adjusted, the musicians have tested the stage, and there is very little time before the start. The sky is cloudy, precipitation is possible, but the festival promises a hot atmosphere. According to Anton Gerasimov, the technical director of the festival, everything is on schedule: "The line-up is being prepared, the soundcheck schedule is being prepared, everything is on schedule."

"I only invite those whom I want to see at the festival on my own, and this is not such a large number of people. We need to reconsider our view on this, but then the festival will get out of control, I'm afraid," said Konstantin Kinchev, the leader of the Alice group.

This year at the festival you can again hear hardcore punk from the band "From My Youth", which participates in the Kinchev Fest for the second time.

"We decided to realize ourselves through hardcore punk, because it is close to us, to talk about those things that are close to us," Mikhail Divinsky, the band's leader, said.:

In addition, rock bands such as Stigmata, Knyazz, "Northern Fleet", "Give Two", "Kalinov Bridge" and "Pilot" will take the stage, which, by the way, will perform at the festival for the third time. Ilya Knabengoff, the leader of the Pilot group, spoke about his acquaintance with Kinchev in 1998, noting that their meeting began with a letter left at 10 Pushkinskaya Street.

The festival not only pleases with musical performances, but also surprises with the organization. The stage and screens are bigger, and the sound and light are more powerful than ever. This year, the festival will feature a "nostalgia and excitement" zone, the details of which viewers will be able to find out very soon.

Guests from different parts of the country are already beginning to gather in St. Petersburg. One of them, Evgeny Krasnykh from Yekaterinburg, said: "Our Sverdlovsk rock is also quite interesting, but Alice is somehow more to my heart. A son was born, and he was named Konstantin."

The festival promises to be a real celebration for fans of heavy music and iconic Russian rock bands.

On the Gorbushka stage, songs were played not only by the most famous bands, but also by aspiring artists. The event lasted two days and was attended by thousands of people. 34 musical groups performed at the venue. The audience was dressed in a rocker style: leather, rivets, bright hairstyles. And some of them don't look like they came to a rock festival.
