What to Do in Kyiv on the Weekend of March 13–15: Concerts, Parties, Festivals, and Exhibitions

In mid-March, Kyiv offers a highly diverse program: from concerts and club parties to exhibitions, markets, festivals, and interdisciplinary events. In this guide we have gathered the most interesting happenings for the coming days — with live performances, lectures, charity formats, and events for different moods and groups of friends.

YUKO Concert

In the year of its tenth anniversary, the band YUKO is returning to the stage after a long pause despite having ended its creative activity. Yuliia Yurina and Stas Koroliov will once again share with the audience the energy and atmosphere that once made YUKO one of the most notable phenomena in Ukrainian music.

The musicians promise a program that will differ on both evenings: some songs will be performed only at one of the concerts, as it was impossible to fit all the material into a single set.

Admission: from 890 UAH

S.V.E.T

As part of the S.V.E.T party, Dutch electro-house DJ and producer Sander van Doorn — one of the key artists of the global electronic scene — returns to the International Exhibition Center.

With his participation, a large-scale show will take place, built on the combination of modern technologies and digital art: sound, light, visual effects, and space will function as a single system.

Admission: 900–9000 UAH

Exhibition Project “Spring. Women’s Names of Boychukism”

The National Center “Ukrainian House” presents the exhibition project “Spring. Women’s Names of Boychukism,” which brings back into artistic circulation the names of female artists who long remained outside the focus of attention.

At the center of the exhibition are Sofiia Nalepinska-Boichuk, Oksana Pavlenko, Antonina Ivanova, Yaroslava Muzyka, Vira Bura-Matsapura, Mariia Kotliarevska, and other artists whose contributions helped shape a new visual language of the era. For the first time, works by 15 women Boychukist artists are brought together in one space, allowing visitors to see the scale and diversity of this artistic circle.

Admission: 90–180 UAH

“Normal” Concert by Nyco Potvorno

Nyco Potvorno will play his first Kyiv concert since March 2025 — and, as the artist jokes, possibly the last one in 2026. The show at Atlas promises a new program, new songs, and Nytsyk’s usual format — with open interaction with the audience and elements of stand-up between tracks.

The artist’s work is difficult to fit into a single genre: eclectic storytelling, a recognizable vocal style, and powerful sound have long created a distinct niche for him on the Ukrainian indie scene. The organizers describe the concert as a “normal vibe” with normal people and normal songs in an extremely abnormal time — an evening they invite everyone to experience together.

Admission: from 1300 UAH

“SPEKA” Party

“SPEKA” continues the season with an event for fans of club culture. The organizers promise a “symbiosis of a warm light atmosphere and loud techno” from invited selectors from Kyiv and Dnipro.

The lineup includes Sasha Storm, Maria Rodina, Ana B, Shana, Wave, Rudni, Gauser, Honeyexporter, Sen3, and Sakseev. The event will enforce a dress code and face control, and entry is restricted to adults.

Admission: from 1250 UAH, at the door — 1600 UAH

Anton Logov Exhibition “Imagination”

At the Lavra Gallery, within the special program of the “Museum of Contemporary Art” project, the solo exhibition “Imagination” by Anton Logov has opened. The exhibition features works distinguished by warmth, a soft tone, and attentiveness to states and moods.

In his practice, the artist works with imagination as a way of seeing the world: through color and form he reinterprets reality, transforming it into an artistic image. At first glance minimalistic, these works are built according to the “iceberg principle” — leaving space for personal interpretation and the feeling that emerges during contemplation.

All-Ukrainian Festival “City of Masters”

The spring “City of Masters” brings together folk craftsmen and artisans from different regions of Ukraine at VDNH. The program includes craft products, tastings, and a fair-like atmosphere with an emphasis on local production.

Participants include puppet makers, handmade artisans, clothing designers, cheesemakers, winemakers, and mead producers. A food court will operate on site, and the assortment will feature craft cheeses, wines and liqueurs, artisanal sweets, handmade toys, accessories, jewelry, textiles, wooden décor, and embroidered shirts.

Admission: free

Exhibition “The Carpathians. These Mountains Know No Submission”

An inter-museum project titled “The Carpathians. These Mountains Know No Submission” has opened at the Kyiv Picture Gallery. The exhibition includes landscapes with blooming mountain meadows and snow-covered peaks, genre scenes, and portraits conveying the character and everyday life of mountain regions. Porcelain figurines and majolica complement the display.

The core of the exhibition consists of painting, graphic, and decorative-applied works by Ukrainian artists from the 1950s–1970s. The focus is on the works of the Sixtiers — artists for whom the Carpathians became a spiritual support in the search for new meanings and forms of national art. Among the featured authors are Veniamin Kushnir and Liubov Panchenko, whose landscapes and portraits were inspired by the mountain environment.

A separate section is dedicated to the Transcarpathian and Lviv schools of painting: Yosyp Bokshai, Adalbert Erdeli, Ernest Kontratovych, Havrylo Hliuk, Zoltan Sholtes, Anton Kashshai, Adalbert Marton, and Roman Selskyi. Their works demonstrate plein-air painting shaped by European tradition and attentive observation of nature.

Admission: 100–200 UAH

Spring Kurazh

The spring edition of Kurazh opens the season at the KIT pavilion at VDNH. The organizers describe the event as nostalgic and life-affirming — with a focus on meetings, live music, and the shared experience of city weekends.

The program includes live performances by Ukrainian artists (this time there will be two), a lecture hall with speakers the team has long planned to invite, and an expanded flea market with an emphasis on vintage and browsing through clothing racks. The format is for those who want to meet friends, take a break from winter, and spend the weekend together.

Admission: from 400 UAH

“Cosmozlit. Comets and Asteroids”

“Cosmozlit. Comets and Asteroids” combines science, art, and music in one space. The program includes meetings with scientists and astronomy communicators, conversations about the Universe in simple language, and discussions of current discoveries.

There will also be workshops, performances, and artistic interpretations of space, DJ sets and live acts — from ambient to “cosmic” techno. Food zones, a relaxation area, and spaces for informal communication will operate at the venue. A separate block will feature unique lots from artists and scientists: all funds raised will be donated to support educational and volunteer initiatives.

Admission: 200–900 UAH
