This summer, in July, the ANTYTILA band are setting out to the United States to perform in Kerhonkson (New York), Philadelphia, and Chicago. Three days, three cities, three different events united by music that will sound from Ukraine and for the benefit of Ukraine.
The musicians will start with a performance at a well-known Ukrainian festival in America, where they will play a full open-air program as headliners, and finish with a solo gig at one of the coziest music venues in Chicago.
The first performance is on July 12, as part of the largest festival of Ukrainian culture in the U.S., Soyuzivka. On the festival’s eighteenth anniversary, the band will perform a special program including hits and new songs having gathered over 370 million views on YouTube and appeared in the top charts of streaming platforms: “Вдома”, “Лови Момент”, “Там, де ми є”, “2Step,” “Фортеця Бахмут” and more.
The next day, July 13, the band performs in Philadelphia at the St. George Ukrainian Festival, an event that annually gathers a large Ukrainian community of the state.
And on July 18, there’s the final stop in Chicago, on the stage of Joe’s Live, where ANTYTILA will give a large solo gig. Unlike the festival format, this event will offer a more intimate atmosphere – warm memories, new emotions, and impressions. And most importantly, a chance to fully immerse yourself in the band’s music, from long-time favorites to brand-new hits.
‘It’s important that fellow people are coming with gigs to their fellow people. We’ll play a lot, sing together, and enjoy the songs that are loved and awaited. And of course, the proceeds from the gigs will go to support the special unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine working in the Crimean sector,’ says Taras Topolia, the lead singer of the band.
ANTYTILA are more than just music. It’s an opportunity to stay connected to your homeland, even if you’re thousands of miles apart.
The gigs will take place supported by the Revived Soldiers Ukraine charity foundation and partners.
Tickets are now available. Don’t miss it – Ukraine is sounding here and now.
