Zaxidfest

Zaxidfest (Ukrainian: Західфест [ˌzɑxidˈfɛst]; previously known as Zaxid, from Ukrainian: захід, lit. ''West'' and ''event'') is an annual international music and art festival held in the middle of August in Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine. Zaxid was founded in 2009 as a festival of Ukrainian rock and ethno music. Later it has lost an attachment to some concrete music genre and was expanded by different foreign artists (including Anti-Flag, Caliban, Clawfinger, Ektomorf, Everlast, Ill Niño, Kreator, Oomph!, Zdob și Zdub and others). Every year organizers conduct online-survey where anybody can propose and vote for artist. In this way the list of participants is formed. Also some artists are invited based on organizers' initiative and their names are hidden until the tickets sales start.
