Afisha's Picnic announces the second wave of artists in St. Petersburg

The St. Petersburg program of Afisha Picnic artists is expanding. On August 8, the line-up of musicians will be joined:

• "Bond with the Button" is the main indie sensation of the country. Those who turned from a small folk band into hitmakers. They conquer not only charts and awards, but also any stage with a powerful concert, where the audience sings songs together with the leader Ilya Zolotukhin.

• LSP is a classic of hip-hop and pop music, the author of the latest "Chinchillas" and the iconic "Bullets" and "Pole".
• Yelka is one of the most recognizable and expressive figures in Russian pop music, who has built her artistic path on stage. She created hits that will never grow old – "Near you", "Provence", "I'm Happy to Be Happy", "City of Deception" and other iconic songs.

• Spokanki are eight traveling sisters from mystical Spokane who collect music from all over the world and create spectacular performances based on it at the intersection of music and theater. Their sound is authentic percussion, noise effects and beautiful a cappella.

Already well-known participants of the Afisha Picnic in St. Petersburg: FEDUK, SLAVA MARLOW with live bands, alternative musicians CUPSIZE / Capsize, ex-leader of "Semantic Hallucinations" Sergey Bobunets, pop singer Minaeva, indie newcomers Gera Amen and Jay Ro, as well as the duo "Lakes". The festival's guests will enjoy a mix of hip-hop, guitar rock, indie nostalgia for 2010 and fresh stylish pop music.

For the first time in the Northern Capital, "Picnic" will deploy five stages, a large food court, a designer market and dozens of entertainment venues. From Moscow to St. Petersburg, the festival will bring a bright and fascinating open-air luna park with movie-themed attractions, the scent of cotton candy and the work of contemporary artists.

The festival will feature dozens of interactive zones from different brands and companies for all ages. Guests will enjoy a massage from Fitmost, relaxation in hammocks, a regatta on radio-controlled yachts, a master class in body kits from the Power of the Wind, yoga, zumba and sports from World Class, as well as surfing from SUNPARK, a raffle tour from MAP PEOPLE and a quick introduction to real wedding rituals from Twinby. Workshops from JAMAICA and the Afisha photo booth will be responsible for creativity. A whole town with a theater, a construction kit, culinary and sports areas, a Malysharikov playground and a market of local brands will open for children.

In the interactive zone "Workshop of Culture W" it will be possible to master cyanotype (a method of alternative printing), manual fabric printing, twisting and create aroma diffusers, and Shariland will arrange another master class on modeling balloons. The Terra School floral school will teach you how to assemble bouquets professionally. The Loud Question gaming club will captivate guests with an intellectual and humorous game in the format of a famous Internet show from the Improvisators team. Style and beauty – at the Soda beauty zone, where the masters of the express network will create vivid images with pigtails and glitter makeup.
