The Last Spell

In 2027, the year Black Rock City calls Spellbound, Kurenivka casts its spell one last time, and so does Blue Bull.

The music

Mamay

Ten years ago Kurenivka started with a bar and a DJ, and there has been music ever since: a dance floor in camp every single year, and then a stage on wheels. That music has always had a face. Yaroslav Diakiv, known to everyone as Mamay, was the first friend to say “let's do it”, and he has run the show ever since: bringing the sound, wiring it, tuning it, and putting the DJ on. Kurenivka is not just a camp because of him.

The plan

The biggest rave

The plan is the biggest rave the camp has ever thrown, with Blue Bull at its centre, filmed by a professional crew with drones so that the last night stays.

When the spell breaks

An indefinite pause

After that, Kurenivka goes on an indefinite pause. Not because we're tired, but because ten years is a complete story, and we want to end this chapter at its best.

If you've ever wanted to be part of it, this is the year.
