The story

Ukrainian Song Project in Lviv

Ukrainska Pisnya / Ukrainian Song Project is a televised music festival-concert that debuted in Lviv in 2016 to launch new Ukrainian performers alongside established stars, usually staged around Ukraine's Independence Day in late August. During Russia's full-scale invasion it relocated abroad once for safety, later returning to Lviv for its tenth-anniversary edition in 2025.

In August 2016, at the Ukraina Sports Palace in Lviv, a new televised concert format called Ukrainska Pisnya, Ukrainian Song, put twenty young performers, chosen from 500 applicants, on stage in front of 2,900 spectators alongside established acts like Antytila and The VYO.

What is special

01

The place changes

The project began as a talent-discovery concert broadcast on national television, screening around 20 acts from 500 applicants in its debut year, and grew from a single televised concert into a large-format event pairing pop and rock headliners with a symphony orchestra

The mystery stays covered

Its 2018 edition ran seven hours on a 52-metre stage at Arena Lviv for 13,000 spectators with an international judging panel and a Polish headline act performing a Ukrainian-language song written for the occasion

03

The city starts moving

After Russia's full-scale invasion, the festival became explicitly a wartime cultural and charity project, relocating abroad for safety in 2022 and later inviting soldiers, veterans, and families of the fallen as guests of honor
