On July 4, 2026, a new indie festival “Proximity” will be held on the territory of Crystal DC, which promises to become a platform for finding new music. Three scenes will be filled with performances of more than 15 groups, including such well-known bands as “Bond with a button”, “Where the Phantom”, obraza net, “The Frontier of the Centuries”, “I am Sofa” and “PILS”.
The festival is an experiment with musical content, covering a wide range from indie folk to electro-punk, and the emphasis is on unusual collaborations and unconventional performance formats. Curator - Ilya Zolotukhin ("Bond with a button") - plans to offer the groups unusual compositions, unexpected collaborations and a special program.
Organisers promise a gradual disclosure of details and ideas, with a second wave of artists to be announced in early 2026. The purpose of the festival is to create an atmosphere of trust, sincerity and “lack of distance and pathos”. This is a meeting place for different, but close in spirit musicians and spectators.
