New Music and Charity

The Festival will be held on the territory of Kalynivka airport (Vinnytsia oblast). In 1995 the first Polish festival called Woodstock Bus Stop (Przystanek Woodstock) was organized for volunteers of the Polish campaign “Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity” (WOSP Foundation). The WOSP foundation led by Jerzy Owsiak is dedicated to raising funds to help disabled children and orphans, it also promotes the development of volunteer work. Every year about 30 bands take part in the festival. At one point there were guests of honor at the festival, among them there were: Guano Apes, Papa Roach, The Prodigy, The Stranglers, Korpiklaani, Clawfinger, and many others. In 2011 nearly 700,000 people attended Polish Woodstock.

All-Ukrainian Charitable Foundation “Heart to Heart” decided to transfer European volunteering values on the Ukrainian soil. To thank its volunteers for their devoted cooperation (for a whole year volunteers have been collecting funds to purchase medical equipment for children and children’s hospitals) the foundation launches Ukrainian tradition of charity Woodstock. The festival will be free. The program lists 36 bands from Ukraine, Poland, and Estonia. Headliners of the forum will be Mad Heads, Kozak System, and Skriabin (front man of the band Kuzma will also be the host of the show). Guests of the festival will participate in many activities, will learn new names in modern music and will listen to already well-known and also young musicians and singers live.
