The Chernika Music Fest 2025 in Novosibirsk’s Arena Park concluded after two days of music, interactive activities, and memorable performances. The festival, held on June 14 and 15, drew large crowds despite the varying weather conditions.
The event featured a diverse lineup of artists, ranging from local musicians to federal stars, catering to a wide range of musical tastes. Attendees enjoyed performances on both a large main stage and a smaller stage, with many bringing blankets to relax on the lawn while listening to music.
Despite the extreme heat on the first day, organizers provided free water and had medical personnel on standby. The first day’s lineup included Natalika, Aivazovsky Orchestra, Ramil, Antokha MC, Radio Tapok, and Betsy, with “Ottepetiye Moshenniki” (The Swindlers) headlining.
The second day saw performances from Bakhtin, Husky, Rock Privet, GSPD & Dead Blonde, Jakone & Kiliana, and Macan. A heavy downpour during the second day added an unexpected element to the festival, with many attendees embracing the rain and dancing in the open. Macan, the headliner on the second day, closed the festival with a performance that resonated with the crowd.
The festival grounds were divided into zones with food trucks offering a variety of options. Attendees participated in interactive activities, contests, raffles, and master classes. The event concluded with a fireworks display set to a song by MakSim, who headlined the festival the previous year.
