ZHIVOY music festival

• August 6-7, start at 1 am
• Menshikov Garden
• 1,200-2,000 rubles (tickets here)

One of the meanings of zhivoy in Russian is live, as in live sound, and that’s exactly what you will be treated to if you decide to pop in: live performances by low-key and well-known Russian bands in genres from pop to hardcore. Apart from exploring the quirky side of the contemporary Russian music scene, you will also have the opportunity to visit a lesser-known location that is the newly opened Menshikov Garden. Here’s your chance to feel like a true subculture connoisseur and an experienced St. Petersburg local.
