Music festival Wild Mint opened in the Tula region, with Bilboard Daily noting the event organizers behind the scene.
The festival, which began in the village of Bunyrevo after a two-year postponement, will unfold over two weekends, June 18-19 and June 25-26. An inaugural day on June 17, framed as Wild Mint. Green, drew a crowd that approached twenty thousand under open skies. Attendees enjoyed more than twenty concerts spread across four stages, with performances by Kino and Komsomolsk adding to the festival’s high-energy lineup.
organizers observed a shift in typical attendance patterns. Usually a business schedule is built around the afternoon influx of the audience. This year, however, visitors arrived early and demonstrated a level of discipline that surprised organizers, with the overall guest count effectively doubling. In response, festival producer Andrey Klyukin noted that waiting times were cut dramatically to accommodate the larger crowd.
Wild Mint included the Violet stage and a dedicated musical camp called Wild Mint Camp, expanding the immersive experience for festival-goers and campers alike.
Over the two days on June 18-19, more than 80 artists were set to perform, including The Hatters, Garik Sukachev, Dusty Rainbow Pioneer Camp, and a robust roster of other acts.
From March 25 to 26, scheduled performances featured Dolphin, Jane Air, Kedr Livanskiy, Give me a tank, Neuromonakh Feofan, and additional artists hitting the stage during the festival window.
Earlier updates mentioned Kino performing with the restored, digitized voice of the late Viktor Tsoi, a moment that highlighted the event’s blend of classic and contemporary music.
