The 2024 installment of Brave! Factory Festival by Closer crew will be held on August 24-25 in Kyiv. For the second year in a row, the festival is changing its traditional in 2017-2021 from the location of Metrobud factory to a new one. This year, the event will be held at the iconic Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio.
It will include five venues: Depo, Avtotzeh, Pavilion, the Auditoria concert stage, and a location that does not yet have a name (should be revealed a few days before the actual gathering). Several large installations, a space for recreation, a food court, etc. are also planned, as usual.
The biggest foreign guests of the festival are Reade Truth (USA), Heith and VSK (Italy), Mari.te (Venezuela-Spain), PRZ, and Spencer Parker (Germany).
“Our location is the territory of the Kyiv Film Factory. The place where films were shot since 1927. That’s why we decided to hold the festival in the form of one large film set, and the announcements were made in the form of movie teasers (some refer to Dovzhenko’s film “Earth”). We hope that the festival will be a great adventure youth musical comedy.”
The issue of security in Ukraine in 2024 was also not overlooked: festival guests will have at least 2 and a maximum of 4 bomb shelters at their disposal.
There are still some tickets available, also you can check our reviews from the 2021 and 2023 editions of the festival.

This piece was written in Ukraine. Ukraine is in the middle of the war with Russia right now. Would be great if you could donate to the biggest Ukrainian volunteer fund here. Also, you can pick any music initiative, that is also trying to help from our list here. We’ll be stronger together.
