The story

Bol Festival in Moscow region

Bol, meaning Pain in Russian, was a real indie and electronic music festival nominated for Event of the Year at the Jager Music Awards in both 2017 and 2018, alongside recognized events like Moscow Music Week and Present Perfect. Its precise venue within Moscow Region and its current operating status could not be independently confirmed.

In the mid-2010s, Russia's independent music scene supported a growing circuit of festivals built around indie rock, alternative and electronic genres, competing for both audiences and industry recognition alongside more established, larger-scale events.

The mystery stays covered

In April 2018, the band Shortparis toured as part of a showcase promoting the festival, performing alongside acts including Elektroforez, GSh, Spasibo and Kazuskoma, before Shortparis performed at the festival itself that June, connecting Bol to a documented lineup of contemporary Russian indie and electronic performers active in that period
