Closer crew announced the full line-up for the comeback of their biggest event of the year. From 2017 to 2021 Brave! Factory Festival was hosted on the grounds of Kyiv’s Metrobud factory, this year, for the first time ever, it will be completely on the territory of the club complex on Nyzhnyoyurkivska Street, 31.
After the absence in 2022, caused by the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the line-up of the festival blooms with international names, highlighted by Anthea, Dandy Jack, DJ Sotofett, Kangding Ray, and Shifted along with the best possible selection of the local DJs and live performances stretched onto two days of 26 and 27 of August.
The crew is planning to use all locations, that are usually busy during their other festival – Strichka, but also there are plans of expanding into new territories, that were never used before. Also, there’s a will to recreate all the familiar locations that have always been associated with the Metrobud plant, where the festival traditionally took place in previous years: Tokar, Cement, Topka, Garden, Hangar, and Depot.
“This is the best summer event that we organize only once a year. It always involves bold design decisions and a harmonious blend of music and art. We missed it greatly. This year, our guests can expect many unusual surprises in a very familiar place: we will transform the well-known factory at Nyzhnoyurkivska into a space that captures the traditional atmosphere of the previous Brave! Factory festivals” shared the organizers.
Limited tickets are still available on Resident Advisor. The timetable should appear shortly, until that time, you can follow the news of the festival on their Instagram page.
