The list of participants of the concert at the alumni festival "Scarlet Sails-2026" has been announced

On Saturday, June 27, Yelka, Tatiana Kurtukova, Julianna Karaulova, Lucy Chebotina, Alex Lim, Alyona Sviridova and Grigory Miroshnichenko, Filatov & Karas, the TRITIA group, Julia Peresild and the MANDRAGORA group, as well as other artists will appear on the stage of the alumni celebration "Scarlet Sails-2026". The hosts of the evening will be Nika Zdorik, Sergey Gorodnichy, Julianna Karaulova, Vyacheslav Makarov and Dasha Alexandrova.

The main summer stage of the country will once again gather thousands of young hearts on the Palace Square, for whom this night is the starting point of a new life. The concert will traditionally be the central event of the holiday. This year, it is united by the common idea of "The City of Dreamers" — a story about those who once faced a choice, doubted, but still went forward to their goal.

"The cast turned out to be very diverse and designed for different musical tastes. Scarlet Sails has one unchanging rule: the younger generation comes to the Palace Square, which is experiencing a very important life moment — the transition from youth to adulthood. On this day, a person begins to make decisions on their own and take responsibility for their future. Everything that parents and the school could give has already been given. Then a person becomes the author of his own destiny. Therefore, it is very important with what mood and thoughts graduates will leave the holiday: what they will see on the Palace Square, what they will hear on television, what emotions they will take with them. Our task is to help them feel that they are the creators of their lives," said Felix Mikhailov, artistic director, chief director of the concert part of the alumni celebration "Scarlet Sails—2026".

This year, the concert audience will have an unexpected twist: for the first time in the history of the festival, several presenters will appear on stage – graduates will be led to the dream by Nika Zdorik and Sergey Gorodnichy, Julianna Karaulova and Vyacheslav Makarov, as well as Daria Alexandrova. In addition, for the first time, the presenters themselves will become part of the musical and theatrical action and go beyond the usual roles.

The concert will be divided into several semantic blocks, each of which shows important stages of growing up and becoming a personality.

The concert will be opened by Anton Lavrentiev and the choir CHOIR. This is the mood of the beginning of the journey – lightness, freedom and faith that everything is ahead. The first challenge is the "Dream and Do" block. Julia Peresild and the MANDRAGORA group will talk about the courage to meet the unknown.

In the "Place to Step Forward" part, the stage will be filled with the energy of time. Alyona Sviridova and Grigory Miroshnichenko will perform hits familiar to several generations. Filatov & Karas will add a modern sound with their tracks

The real challenges begin in the "Dream and do it. It will be difficult, but you will win." Yulianna Karaulova's hits will be performed, and a musical mix of songs from the TV series "Lilies of the Valley" performed by Niki Zdorik, Sergey Gorodnichy and the choir will create a special atmosphere.

The theme of the unity and strength of the country will be revealed in the next block. Tatiana Kurtukova's songs are filled with respect for traditions, culture and common history. The TRITIA band will create a rock mood. Alex Lim will talk about love as the main driving force. Lucy Chebotina's solo numbers will add drive and energy.

The final semantic emphasis was called "Everything will work out. Forward to the dream." The headliner of the evening, a Christmas tree with popular compositions, will take the stage. This block will be the emotional culmination of a concert dedicated to self-belief and self-reliance. The final number will bring together Anton Lavrentiev, Julianna Karaulova, Vyacheslav Makarov, Nika Zdorik and the choir CHORUS.

The concert on Palace Square will become not just a musical show, but a whole story about dreams, choices, overcoming and faith, where each graduate will be able to recognize himself and take his first step into the future.

After a long-term hiatus, the legendary prom was revived in 2005 on the initiative of ROSSIYA Joint Stock Bank, the Government of St. Petersburg and Channel Five.
