The Hardkiss (UA) + Special Guest: Felin

Join us for an unforgettable night with The Hardkiss, an independent band from Kyiv, Ukraine, founded in 2011. They blend rock, pop, and electronic music into what they call progressive pop, led by the charismatic vocalist Julia Sanina.

🌍 The band has toured extensively across Ukraine, Europe, and the United States, building a devoted global fanbase. In 2023, Julia co-hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, where the band also performed at the opening ceremony.

🏆 The Hardkiss are multiple YUNA Music Awards winners, including Best Band and Best Album. Julia has also appeared as a judge on The Voice and The X Factor, lent her voice to video games and animated films, and was a finalist on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020.

🤝 Since the outbreak of war in 2022, the band has actively participated in charitable and social projects supporting Ukraine, with Julia serving as a cultural ambassador at numerous international events.

🎵 In June 2025, The Hardkiss released the single "Crush", marking their first new material after a creative pause while preparing a new album set for 2026. This new album promises a rawer, darker, and harder sound.

✨ 2026 will be pivotal for the band as they celebrate 15 years on stage, perform on the main stage of the Wacken Open Air festival, and embark on a major European tour.
