Faine Misto (Ukrainian: Файне місто, lit. "Fine City") is a Ukrainian annual open-air music festival.[1] It was held in Ternopil from 2013 to 2021, and has taken place in Lviv from 2023 onwards.[2] The festival is notable for its genre diversity, its strong community identity, and, since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, its role as a charity fundraiser for the Ukrainian military.[3]

History

[edit]

The festival was founded in 2013 by Maksym Cherkashyn, Rostyslav Plakhtsinskyi, Volodymyr Pasyaka, and Rustam Erheshov.[4] Its name is derived from the song "Faine Misto Ternopil" by the Ukrainian band Braty Hadiukyni. The first edition was held on 20–21 July 2013 at the Chaika island in Taras Shevchenko Park in Ternopil.[5] In 2014 the venue moved to Ternopil Airport, and in 2017 to Ternopil Hippodrome.[6]

In 2020 the festival was cancelled owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its place, under the Faine Misto banner, the concert tour KaiFAINEmo was organised across 14 Ukrainian cities between 11 and 30 August 2020, featuring bands Motanka, Epolets and Space of Variations.[7]

In 2022 the festival was cancelled because of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. An online event, Faine Misto Online, was held with exclusive performances, and on 26–28 August 2022 the festival co-organised a cross-border event, Faine Misto × Rockowa Noc, held in Rzeszów, Poland, together with the Polish rock festival Rockowa Noc, as a gesture of solidarity with Ukraine.[8][9]

From 2023 onwards, the festival relocated to the !FESTrepublic venue in Lviv. In 2024, it was held as a charity event under the motto "Land of Future Legends", with the declared goal of raising 5 million hryvnias for the logistical and humanitarian needs of the Azov Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.[10] By 2025, the fundraising target had risen to 35 million hryvnias (approximately $850,000) for the Azov Brigade's medical team.[11]

On 20 November 2025 the festival launched its own quarterly print publication, FaineMo, described by the organisers as "the voice of the festival" and a new ongoing tradition.[12]
