Music Under Fire: How Ukraine’s Festivals Survive the War

War touches every corner of Ukraine. Yet even now, music doesn’t stop — it carries people through. From Lviv’s Faine Misto to Kyiv’s Atlas Festival, stages have become sanctuaries: places to escape the trauma of war, to fundraise for survival, and to prove that culture endures even under fire. Featuring voices from Ukrainian artists like Kurgan & Agregat, Sick Solution, Rohata Zhaba, Hamerman Destroys Viruses, Okean Elzy, and international acts like The Rasmus, this film shows how music in Ukraine today is more than entertainment – it’s resistance, solidarity, and life itself.
