Kazantip Republic has been going strong for 18 years and is a space where people can totally express themselves: DJs, musicians, producers, film makers, designers, performers, freaks, beautiful dancing girls and toned kitesurfing boys. Having been compared to Ibiza and Burning Man, Kazantip has a wide range of parties 24/7, art projects, and a community of crazy people set against the mind blowing back drop of a technicolour light show – it looks like a giant space ship at night.
But why Republic? Of course Kazantip is a mythical republic, which does not exist but it is independent and sovereign. It has its own basic laws, President, Government and citizens – creative freaky people who are tired of normal ordinary life.
And you may have never heard about this imaginary Republic until now, but Sven Vath, Dubfire, Timo Maas, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Crystal Method, LTJ Bukem, Oliver Huntemann, Stephan Bodzin, Tigerskin, James Zabiela, Robert Babicz and hundreds more well-known artists perform at Kazantip every year.
ARTIST QUOTES:
“It was a great experience for me to perform at the Kazantip. I had heard a lot about the World’s longest Techno party and I was not disappointed. A festival site that reminds of the props of a Mad Max movie, but much more colourful and friendly – and exactly that was also how the crowd was like and I was warmly welcomed with many gestures of friendship” Sven Vath
“Once in a lifetime experience!! KAZANTIP on Popovka beach Ukraine. Many people told me this is the best festival where you HAVE to go to… And I’ve seen it now myself. Believe the hype! You have to see this! Amazing!! Thank you Kazantip!” Armin Van Buuren
