In 2012, the all-Ukrainian Charitable Foundation “Heart to Heart”, supported by the famous Polish activist Jerzy Konik and Ukrainian singer Andriy Kuzmenko (Kuzma Skriabin) decided to transfer the Woodstock tradition to Ukraine. The aim of this Festival is to express gratitude to volunteers for their conscientious cooperation with the foundation and assistance in raising funds for new medical equipment for children and children’s hospitals of the country. Since then, the festival has been travelling to the picturesque corners of Ukraine and warmly welcomes guests from all over the world absolutely free, charging them with peace, love and music.

The first grand Woodstock music festival Ukraine took place on July 16-21, 2013 in the village of Hrybivka near Odessa. Since then, the European “Woodstock” holiday has become native for the Ukrainians every year!

The Ukrainian festival motto is “Peace, Music, Love”. This project is aimed at developing mass musical culture, forming the aesthetic taste of fans of different musical styles, uniting diverse performers with a common idea, uniting residents from different parts of our country, and developing a charitable volunteer movement in Ukraine.

Woodstock Festival Ukraine is open and free to all visitors!

History of the festival

In 1995, the first Polish festival “Przystanek Woodstock” (Woodstock Festival Poland) was organized for the volunteers of the Polish “The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity Foundation” (WOSP Foundation). It is named after the Woodstock Music and Art Fair – one of the most famous festivals in the world of music, which took place in August 1969 and became a great message of humanity against war. “Przystanek Woodstock” is a gratitude to the volunteers for their work through the year. The event hosts about 30 music groups every year including such honorary guests as “Guano Apes”, “Papa Roach”, “The Prodigy”, “The Stranglers”, “Korpiklaani”, “Clawfinger” and many others. “Przystanek Woodstock” is visited by more than 750,000 people. In 2018, the Polish festival was renamed into PolandRock. Festival audience
