Foals

This announcement can be surely called as long awaited, because Foals indie rock band annually plays more than a hundred solo and festival performances in the whole world, but Ukrainian fans have not had a chance to see them live yet. Foals started as a house-party band, announcing their performances in abandoned buildings on Myspace social network. The musicians have left Oxford in order to develop their show business career. And it was the right choice, because each of their albums reached top positions in the charts. Foals has recorded 4 studio albums, becoming better with each new record. Nowadays, Foals are headliners of the largest European festivals such as Readind&Leeds, Glastonbury, Latitude, Rock en Seine, they play on Sziget, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Opener. Their last album «What Went Down» was released in August 2015 and became one of the brightest records of the year. By the way, video for the main song of their album was filmed in Kyiv at Troeschina district and on Kyiv water storage.

Crystal Castles

Fusing lo-res electronic noise and pop hooks so effortlessly that it can seem accidental, Crystal Castles began as producer/multi-instrumentalist Ethan Kath's solo project in late 2003. Kath got the moniker from the name of She-Ra's dwelling in the He-Man and Masters of the Universe cartoon series; it's also the name of a 1983 Atari video game, which is oddly appropriate, considering that one component of the band's distinctive sound comes from a keyboard modified with an Atari 5200 sound chip. When Kath collaborated with singer Alice Glass on some songs in spring 2005, Crystal Castles' lineup was complete. Glass left the project in October 2014 to pursue a solo career; in April 2015, Kath resurfaced with a new Crystal Castles track, "Frail," which featured new vocalist Edith Frances. Another new song, "Deicide," surfaced that July, a few months before the new lineup's live debut at the Soundswild Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa that November. The duo debuted more new material in early 2016, and Crystal Castles' fourth album Amnesty appeared that August.
