The Baltic culture and extreme music festival KILKIM ŽAIBU stays in the hospitable Aukštaitija region. The event will take place on June 21st – 23rd, 2024, in President Antanas Smetona’s manor museum territory in the Ukmergė district.
The two years of successful cooperation with Ukmergė’s culture and government representatives encouraged us to keep enjoying the town’s rock’n’roll
hospitality. We have already tamed the new location and believe that the event in it can get even more cosy and inviting. The convenient location helps us bring more performers of all kinds from foreign countries. The festival’s programme is shaping up to be plentiful.
It’s no coincidence that the festival often takes place during the summer solstice. Since one of the core concepts of the festival has always been honouring ethnic traditions, there will be motifs of ancient Midsummer celebration traditions next to the quality alternative music concerts. The two-sided festival will yet again create an opportunity to celebrate Midsummer with thunder.
A considerable amount of work is already done, the full picture is taking shape. The news about confirmed performers will be announced in parts like always. We will have enough time to familiarise ourselves with the bands’ output and choose the most awaited ones. KILKIM ŽAIBU is not just a three-day-long festival. Organising it takes the entire year. Heavy music is not only the main axis of the event but also its fuelling force that accompanies and feeds us daily. Therefore, we invite you to be active and share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. Join the KILKIM ŽAIBU world, listen, read and simply wait for the event together. There’s a sea of culture and talented creators that interest us. We still feel the hunger for extreme art. So let’s armour up in bestial patience – the nine-month wait will transform into an energy discharge, we’ll celebrate Midsummer, spin the “Thunder” wheel, and the path of new beginnings will meet us again.
