Жадан і Собаки
Zhadan i Sobaky — The voice of free Kharkiv and the energy of true punk. Zhadan i Sobaky is more than a musical band. It is an element that combines sharp social satire, driving ska-punk, and the powerful poetry of Serhiy Zhadan. Over the years of their activity, the "Dogs" have become the true voice of Ukrainian streets, broadcasting honest, ironic, and uncompromising stories that every Atlas Festival attendee knows by heart. Their performances are always about maximum sincerity and frantic energy. Every song of the band — from the manifesto "Malvy" to the explosive "Avtozak" — provokes movement, reflection, and unity. This is music for those who are not afraid to speak the truth and know how to party as if there is no tomorrow. Why the performance of Zhadan i Sobaky is the heart of the festival: Lyrics that become slogans: The poetry of Serhiy Zhadan combined with driving brass and guitar riffs creates a unique genre where the word has the power of a weapon. Festival classic: It is hard to imagine summer without their signature mosh pit in front of the stage and the choral performance of their main hits. Resilience and support: Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the band has become a powerful volunteer center, constantly accumulating resources to support the Ukrainian military and the residents of their native Kharkiv. Their set at Atlas Festival is a moment of absolute freedom, where music becomes an instrument of struggle, hope, and invincible drive.
