The anticipation is palpable as music enthusiasts and festival-goers eagerly await July, when the Atlas Festival 2025 will once again take center stage in Kyiv. The first headliner announced is none other than the iconic Ukrainian band BoomBox. Celebrating their 20th anniversary, BoomBox is set to deliver a performance that promises to be both thrilling and nostalgic.

BoomBox: A Legacy of Musical Excellence

For the second consecutive year, BoomBox will headline Atlas Festival, cementing their status as a staple in Ukrainian music. As the band marks their two-decade milestone, fans are not only in for a treat with their live performance but will have the opportunity to contribute to a noble cause. 100 million UAH is set as the ambitious fundraising goal for the support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

A Festival of Firsts and Favorites

Joining BoomBox on the Atlas Festival stage is the innovative literary-musical ensemble MUR, making their debut appearance. Known for their reinterpretation of Ukrainian history and the lives of its luminaries, MUR is sure to offer a unique artistic experience.

Fans of the post-apocalyptic video game series will recognize the haunting strains of "Chrysanthemums" by the band Anastimoza, the official soundtrack of the highly anticipated "S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2". This year's lineup doesn't stop there, as rock enthusiasts will rejoice with performances from O.Torvald, whose energetic sets never fail to captivate.

YAKTAK: The Return of a Star

Returning to the Atlas stage is the charismatic singer YAKTAK, who last year surprised audiences with an unexpected duet with Sviatoslav Vakarchuk. Their collaboration resulted in the hit single "On the Night Sky, " promising fans a night filled with captivating melodies and unforgettable moments.

As the festival gears up for its momentous 10th edition, organizers are keeping fans on the edge of their seats by holding off on announcing the full list of headliners. What is certain, however, is that Atlas Festival 2025 is set to be an unparalleled celebration of music and culture.
