KaZantip Republic returns to the beautiful Crimean Black Sea coast from 30th July – August 27th 2011 for it’s 19th year of celebrations! Best described as the wildest, longest, craziest, liveliest and most unusual electronic music event you could ever imagine, the KaZantip Republic exists in a parallel reality according to it’s own PreZident's ideas: "summer all year round" and "life with no pants". The sun is shining, the sea is swinging, the music is singing on every side and the wind is always blowing strong enough for the Republic's national sport of Kitesurfing. This small land of the rising fun is home to adventurous, bronzed fun-seekers unwilling to wave goodbye to their childhood.
KaZantip Republic is a space where people can totally express themselves: DJs, musician s, 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.
Each and every year hundreds of world-class electronic music artists descend upon the KaZantip Republic. DJs such as Sven Vath, Dubfire, Timo Maas, M.A.N.D.Y., Seth Troxler, dOP, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, LTJ Bukem, Oliver Huntemann, Ricardo Villalobos, James Zabiela, Stanton Warriors, Robert Babicz, Guy Gerber and Rhadoo have all performed in previous years and this year’s lineup is set to be bigger and better than ever before. Names will be announced very soon.. With 6 dancefloors, 30 bars and restaurants, 2 open air crimea halls, 3 kite stations and a huge number of various architectural constructions which you can’t even imagine, KaZantip is an undiscovered party paradise.
