Prostir Fest
By Charlotte Stace

Prostir Fest brings Ukrainian culture to the forefront with three days of music and community. The festival’s “Ukrainian Music Without Borders” message is about more than an interesting lineup, it’s a celebration of language, creativity and connection for Ukrainians at home and abroad.
The line-up ranges from Max Barskih’s electro-pop and DOROFEEVA to KAZKA, KOLA, PARFENIUK and OTOY. And there’s something for the Eurovision fans out there too with Jerry Heil, who helped take Ukraine to third place in 2024, alongside Ziferblat, the alternative-rock trio who represented the country in 2025.
Importantly, Prostir is partnering with the charity TVOYA OPORA, which is a mental health and wellbeing centre for Ukrainian children and families affected by war. So while the atmosphere promises to be electric, the festival also offers a reminder of culture’s power to create belonging and resilience in times of need.
