Legendary Bono and the Edge from U2 joined to London concert

A privilege to join Antytila at Electric Brixton last night to perform “Mothers Of The Disappeared”.

These musicians – Taras, Dmytros, Sherhi, Dmytros, Mykhailo… The people of Ukraine, don’t want to be at war

They want peace, but not without freedom

Never pick a fight with someone who’s ready to lose everything

This war is much more than territory. More than sovereignty. It’s about dignity and decency confronting domination and darkness.

This song is for the mothers of Ukraine, and so many, who have lost so much.

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

Slava Ukraini

Midnight, our sons and daughters

Were cut down and taken from us.

Hear their heartbeat

We hear their heartbeat.

In the wind we hear their laughter

In the rain we see their tears.

Hear their heartbeat, we hear their heartbeat.

Night hangs like a prisoner

Stretched over black and blue.

Hear their heartbeats

We hear their heartbeats.

In the trees our sons stand naked

Through the walls our daughter cry

See their tears in the rainfall.

For the First Time – ANTYTILA in Israel

Once, it was exactly Tel Aviv where we shot one of our first music videos. Exactly Israeli instructors were those we received important knowledge about paramedical aid from, and exactly the best Israeli bandages saved and go on saving our sworn brothers’ lives on the frontline.
We feel a certain piety and responsibility for a gig in a state understanding us and giving us such vital support in this war.

We are bringing our seventh studio album MLNL as well as the songs already being favorite for millions and having become the symbol of faith and hope for the Victory for people all over the world, and also quality sound and light to support and to express gratitude to Ukrainians in Israel and everyone who cares for their support, for those who miss home – to remind of it, and for everyone – to show Ukraine in songs.
The gig of the band ANTYTILA in Israel is a special show combining visual and light director’s decisions smoothly transferring from songs to the audience’s talks with Taras Topolia who uses his humor, metaphors, and personal experience to speak of love, friendship, war, and Ukraine in the world.

ANTYTILA Postpone the Gigs in Poland

The war, which we seemingly adapted and got used to, however strange it would sound, is getting new and more violent forms.
The occupants have committed a massive missile attack at the whole territory of Ukraine.
Cities, towns, our native Kyiv.
Hundreds of deaths of innocent civilians, damages of infrastructure, crucial energy infrastructure.
All these resemble the beginning of the war in a way.

It’s clear for everyone that it’s a new stage of escalation and it’s not clear what it will end with.
We need to be ready for different scenarios.
It is as clear for us as for the citizens of our state, firstly, and as for musicians, secondly, that we have to stand with our people.

Due to that, ANTYTILA have made a complicated but important decision to postpone the October gigs in Poland to the year 2023.
At this time, we’re gonna stay in Ukraine in close association with our battalion and keeping in touch and coordination with our commanders.

We’re gonna announce the new dates of the gigs as soon as possible, it will most likely be March.
The gigs are about to take place definitely. In Poland, there’ll also be Krakow added.
The tickets remain valid, and we’ll be glad to meet you a bit later, but if your plans do not coincide with the new date, you can return the tickets where you’ve bought them.

The gigs in March will be held without the band Chemia. ANTYTILA will give their full big solo gigs.

In the near future, there’ll also be the gigs announced in other countries of the world in order to support Ukraine, tell about the war firsthand, and popularize Ukrainian culture.

Now, we keep working at strengthening the Armed Forces of Ukraine as well as supporting our battalion and the children of the deceased sworn brothers who are real heroes.
