Since 2001, the Festival showcases the best Russian rock performers in America today. Each year, bands from New York, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto and other cities perform at the Festival. In past years, the Rock Club has brought in bands from as far away as San Francisco and Montreal, as well as headliners straight from Mother Russia. Every fall, fans from all over the country travel to New York to see these bands. For many of them, the Festival is the highlight of the season.

VJ Mindgasm will be providing the visuals.
Whatever your musical tastes are, you're bound to discover something new, different and exciting.
