What year was the invasion? Where is the festival "Invasion" - the main musical event in the world of national rock music

Invasion - the main adventure of the summer - this is the slogan of the most promoted and famous rock festival. With a high degree of probability, it can be argued that for many it was so.

I want to make a reservation right away that I am not a big fan of rock music and for the most part I am indifferent to it, with a few exceptions. Before proceeding to the story of the festival, I want to express my gratitude to "Our Radio", for organizing a trip to the Invasion from Tula. Same way say thank you Masha, who persuaded me to go for three days with a Tula group to this festival. The reason for my reluctance to go was the number of days the festival took place during three days July 4, 5, 6 in Bolshoy Zavidovo, Tver region, and as a not a big fan of rock music, it was hard for me to imagine that I would do more than one day there. It turned out that there was no need to be bored.

Thank you Masha

So, what is the rock festival Invasion, as noted above, this is the most famous and promoted event dedicated to rock music. This year the festival gathered about 160 thousand spectators, before whom 4 thousand musicians performed, among which were Alisa, Leningrad, DDT, Bi-2, Lyapis Trubetskoy, Night Snipers, Kipelov and other. There were several stages on the territory of the festival where performers performed. Stars of the first magnitude performed on the main stage, less famous musicians, but by no means can it be said that sadness and despondency reigned on the smaller stages. People came off there no less, and at times perhaps more.

An exhibition was organized at the Invasion with the assistance of the Ministry of Defense military equipment armed forces of Russia, as well as the performance of the aerobatic team "Falcons of Russia"

Football and volleyball tournaments were also organized, that is, if you are a drinker, you can drink beer all day long (strong alcohol, sold only in the VIP zone and for a decent amount, a bottle of vodka is about 2000 rubles), and if you like sports, please you can play football and volleyball. There were many different competitions with prizes. Several original exhibitions, such as these, were also organized.

For those wishing to see the festival from a bird's eye view, an opportunity was given to rise in a hot air balloon

To summarize what was written above, it is unlikely that you will be bored with the Invasion and almost everyone will find an occupation of interest for themselves.

How I Spent This Invasion

Our group from Tula set off at about ten in the evening and arrived at the place at about three in the morning, so we had to set up tents in the twilight by dawn, we had already settled in a new place.

The new place is a tent city, tents in which great amount, as a result of which it can be very problematic to find your tent at night. Every night I had to look for my tent for 20-30 minutes. One night I had to look for her with two girls who were just as lost as I was. Their tent was found first, and they kindly offered me to stay overnight with them, as it would be difficult for me to find my tent. As an honest guy, I said that I would look for about five minutes and if I didn’t find it, I would return to them, after five minutes I found my tent, and in the morning I felt like the hero of the movie “Dumb and Dumber”.

Prices and life on the Invasion

After we settled down and had a little rest, we decided to go explore the surroundings, or rather, what and where is located on the territory of the festival. The territory of the festival is a fenced area along the perimeter of which there is a guard. In principle, the territory has everything for life and entertainment. At the same time, life at the festival cannot be called cheap.
Half a liter of boiling water costs 50 rubles, a 150 gram glass of tea also costs 50 rubles.
Half a liter of bottled water 100 rubles, Pepsi 130.
Beer Klinskoe 0.5 150 rubles, Bud 200 rubles.
But it is good that the so-called sale of social water was organized, that is, 5 liter bottles of water for 150 rubles were sold from trucks.

From food as an example, a plate of pilaf is 250 rubles.
By evening, for drunken people, the price of food in many cases increased dramatically. For 1000 rubles, we bought 4 chicken wings, two sausages and chopped half a tomato and half a cucumber. In fact, the seller saw drunk funny guys and decided to deceive them.
How much money to take for the Invasion is a rhetorical question, someone spent 8 thousand rubles, someone 11. Masha kept within three and a half thousand, since she drank very little. Basically most of money is spent on beer, you are constantly on the air, all the time on the move and sing songs, and in order to get more or less drunk in this mode, you need to drink a lot of beer. For me, a big minus was the lack of strong alcohol in the sale, since I am not a beer lover. But some people still manage to get through it. On the very first evening, we were treated to whiskey by a very pleasant couple from Klin, Tanya and Artem. And every subsequent evening we came across kind people managed to carry strong alcohol and treated us. On the one hand, the lack of strong alcohol on sale is a minus, but on the other hand, it is difficult to imagine what would happen at such an event if it were sold. Due to those people who were able to carry it, it still circulated to festivals, but within acceptable limits.
Not a pleasant surprise may be the morning when, after drinking a fair amount of beer, you go to the toilets located near the tent camp and see a queue in which you have to stand for about twenty minutes. In such cases, we went to other toilets located 500 meters from the tents.
Some come to the festival in cars in which they spend the night. I met quite a few hitchhikers, even from Omsk and Vladivostok, who, having put it simply, will ask for beer, well, how to refuse such travelers.

Dancing Music Booze and Airplanes

After visiting the "sights" we decided to go to a concert that was on a secondary stage. Once again I repeat that I am indifferent to rock music in most cases, but when you are close to the stage and among people who light you up with their energy, it really puts you in!

In fact, we spent the entire first day at concerts. From morning to small stage, and in the evening we went to the main one, where we met guys from Klin and met many more good people. Now I will write a subjective thing, in my opinion, in order to completely immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the festival and be on the same wavelength with others, you need to drink, at least beer)!

They come, even with such babies

Late in the evening after the end of the concert there was a cool fireworks display!

After sleeping a few hours a night in the morning, playing a few games of cards with my friends, we again went to the concert. Maneuvering between tents in a tent city, you have to be careful not to hurt someone, some sleep right on the street in sleeping bags.

The concert on the small stage this time was notable, among other things, for the fact that the Tula group "Zhamki" performed there, which was very warmly received by the public.

Before the evening concert, we visited an exhibition of military equipment, as well as a survival course, where the paratroopers showed how to set traps for animals, build a tent, quickly make a fire, etc. boil a pot of water on it. There were three participants, two guys and a girl. The girl who stole firewood from a neighbor won. In general, it was interesting.

Toward evening again a concert on the main stage, again meetings with old friends and new acquaintances. The concert on the second day was also notable for the fact that during the break between the performances of the groups, the aerobatic team “Falcons of Russia” demonstrated their skills. In fact, it's really impressive when the planes roar over you at low altitude and perform various tricks.

After the performance of the pilots, paratroopers made a landing from a helicopter and landed right among the people.

Well, then again alcohol fun and rock!

The third day, again after a few hours of sleep, concerts, meetings and new acquaintances.

Concert on the small stage in the morning

In the interval between the morning and evening concerts, we came across such a stall.

July 7, 8 and 9 in Big Zavidovo (Tver region) the largest all-Russian music festival will be held under open sky – INVASION!

In three days at the festival, you can fulfill all your plans for the summer: take a break from the bustle of the city, spend time with friends, get a tan, go to concerts of your favorite bands and get impressions for the rest of your life.

Dozens of bands perform in front of the audience on several stages. In addition, the audience is offered an extensive cultural and entertainment program of a non-musical nature.

Invasion - the history of the festival

The Invasion festival is held under the patronage of the only rock radio station in Russia, Nashe Radio. For the first time it took place in the winter of 1999 and was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the release of Nashe on the air. As concert venue the legendary “Gorbushka” was chosen - the Gorbunov Palace of Culture, however, it immediately became clear that it was not possible to accommodate everyone in a confined space.

Open-air "Invasion" became in 2000. Then the event was two-day and took place in August at the hippodrome in Ramenskoye near Moscow. The festival has become a real event, and its fame has spread far beyond the borders of Russia. In 2001, the “main adventure of the summer” took place on the same site, and the number of spectators for the first time exceeded 100,000, but a year later the attendance record was broken again: over 180,000 people visited “Invasion” in three days!

2003 was the only year when the "main adventure of the summer" took place in an unusual format. That summer, a terrorist attack was staged at another popular rock festival, Wings, held in Tushino. Due to the threat of a repetition of the attack, it was decided not to hold the "Invasion" in an open area, but to transfer it to the radio. As a result, on August 2 and 3, 2003 in the Nashe Radio studio in live many varying degrees fame.

Invasion - a festival in the Tver region

The move of "Invasion" to the Tver region took place in 2004. Then he went into the field, which was in the village of Emmaus. For the first time, a territory for a tent camp was allocated for the guests of the event. Also, for the first time, in addition to the concerts, the audience was offered a variety of attractions and entertainment.

The relocation of the festival to the Tver region also affected the number of spectators. In the early years, much fewer rock music lovers came here than once in Ramenskoye. Nevertheless, "Invasion" became a rock festival of federal significance, and the audience numbered in the tens of thousands of people.

In 2006, there was another change in the site of the "main adventure of the summer." This time the event was held at Cape Mediterranean on Orekhovy Lake, 160 kilometers from Moscow. In 2007, the "Invasion" did not take place for the first time, and in 2008 it again took place in Emmaus. Since that time, the festival has acquired the significance of a federal scale: residents of 46 regions of Russia, as well as from other republics of the former USSR, came to the Tver region to listen to Russian rock music. Media representatives from 79 regions of the Russian Federation were accredited to work at the festival.

In Bolshoy Zavidovo, the Invasion has been held since 2009. The new site is three times larger than the previous one, which means that everyone can easily accommodate here. The village of Bolshoe Zavidovo is located on the 115th kilometer of the Leningrad Highway.

There is already a tradition among fans to take free days and holidays, taking into account the dates of the festival. Many come here not only to listen to music, but also for the sake of communication. On the "Invasion" they make new acquaintances, communicate with like-minded people, participate in contests and attractions. All this gives the right to call "Invasion" the main adventure of the summer.

Among the participants of the festival were such groups as "Aquarium", "Alisa", "DDT", "Splin", "Mumiy Troll", "Time Machine", "Picnic" and many many others. The musicians are happy to perform on the stage of the "Invasion", while some of them prepare special sets.
