V-ROX EXPO. Open festival of culture. June 21-23, 2019, Vladivostok

V-ROX EXPO is an open festival of culture, a creative laboratory of ideas ranging from street art, music, gastronomy and sports to blockchain, crowd-funding platforms and new music streaming services. EXPO will continue the history of the V-ROX festival, which had been taking place in Vladivostok 2013 – 2017.

Ilya Lagutenko: “Now it has finally become clear that the V-ROX festival, which was successfully launched six years ago and which we all would like to carry on, does not match with our real capabilities. We need to focus on local business models and discover new formats. I came to the idea that V-ROX should become something more than just a music festival. Now I would call it an “open festival of culture”, the festival open to any ideas. I think this is what we are going to work with going forward.”

Special attention at the V-ROX EXPO will be paid to art. The person in charge of this part of V-ROX EXPO will be Dmitry ASKE – a bright representative of the new generation of artists of Russia, known for his large-scale wall paintings on buildings in Moscow and Europe, as well as for unique multi-layered mosaic reliefs and wooden sculptures.  During the V-ROX EXPO new bright frescoes will appear in Vladivostok and several interesting exhibitions will open in the city galleries.

The central point of attraction for music fans at the V-ROX EXPO will be Mumiy Troll Music Bar. On the weekend of the festival gigs by music bands and DJs from various countries will take place. International music line-up will be accompanied by the unique  bartender show and the special concert program named “Candlelight Dancing”. This time sport events will be held on the water, while one of the cinemas will host the designers’ market.
