Afisha's Picnic announces the third wave of artists

The Afisha Picnic Music Festival announces the third wave of performers who will perform in Moscow. This year, the Picnic is completely changing its format and for the first time will turn into a conceptual open-air luna park with luminous movie-style attractions, the scent of cotton candy and the boundless imagination of artists.

On June 20, 2026, at the historical site of the festival in the Kolomenskoye Museum Park in Moscow, four stages will perform:

Zoloto is an artist who has grown from the hero of indie playlists to the status of an absolute headliner in recent years. His music is a fashionable bandstand in the best sense of the word. Everyone who has been to his concerts has noticed that Zoloto's live shows are sensuality, power and energy.

Malback x Suzanne– a duo that has become a symbol of new, non-commercial and stylish pop music, will not only perform the cult hits "Hypnosis" and "Indifference", but also present a fresh joint program, opening a new stage in their creative history.

Passmurny is a melancholic pop rock. In 2026, the band opened a new chapter with the album "Evil" – more guitar-based, tough and uncompromising.

Ellie in the poppy field is a soulful voice of romances, which has become a fresh drink on the modern stage.

As well as a secret guest who will be a pleasant surprise of the festival and will be revealed later.

There will also be two showcases at the festival.:

Zarya– the editorial board of Afisha Daily, has selected musicians in whom it sees the light and hears the future of Russian music. These are ironic hip-hop with smart electronics "Sabbatical", jazz-modern Illo.Trio, pop vibes of the noughties from singer Ada, acoustic chic by Khatskevich, pop avant-garde "Two Sawn-off", intelligent electropop Isentie, emotional and loud guitar pop "Your Nightmares", ironic and sharp-tongued indie "Doggy Lie", a young and rolling wave of metropolitan hip-hop – the pak, Parfumeur, Theistluv and Sleepyforever, as well as pop-punk and emo "Things are more important".

Quiet Move– producer and art director of KUZNYAHOUSE projects and an important figure of electronic music in Russia, Kito Jempere (Kirill Sergeev), will bring together artists close in spirit to play a DJ set of unobtrusive soft electronics with them. Among the artists are the program art director of the Moscow CRUISE Tanya Andrianova, DJ Mark Shchedrin and Lipelis.

The titular partner of the festival, mobile operator T2, is preparing a series of unique activities for visitors, as well as offering guests a look at the festival from a new angle. The festival will feature a real 16-meter Ferris wheel. Before boarding, visitors will receive magenta binoculars: they will help to examine each location in detail and plan their further route directly from the cabin of the attraction.

Afisha's picnic has long gone beyond the stages and food courts. This is a place where you can come with your family, meet old friends, make new acquaintances, taste exotic cuisine, play board games, relax in a massage chair, play tennis, watch a theatrical production, master a new business in an art workshop - and find dozens of activities for yourself according to your state of mind. With each new announcement, leisure at the festival becomes even more multifaceted and intense.

The event will take place on June 20 at the Kolomenskoye Museum-Reserve.
