Events filled with competition, rhythm, and excitement.
The IGRA Sports and Music Festival is set to return for its third edition, taking place from August 10th to 17th in the scenic mountain and coastal clusters of Sochi, Russia. This year's event is integrated with the 30th Smrikva Bowl tennis tournament, which took place around late June 2025.
The festival, associated with the Smrikva Bowl tennis club, has a rich history dating back to 2009, with a focus on cultural exchange and a library project linked to the players. This year, the IGRA event promises an exciting mix of sports, music, and entertainment.
The festival's activities will include vibrant shows, lively parties, and a variety of competitions. Scooter races, skate park competitions, and dance battles are among the events scheduled to get hearts racing. For those seeking a more adrenaline-fuelled experience, mountain races such as Polyana 960 and Polyana 1460, and a circular route with a 1700-meter elevation change, offer a challenging yet exhilarating experience.
For music lovers, the main stage RED ARENA will host a series of performances. On August 13th, Gorilla Zippo, the electronic music project of Vasily Vakulenko (Basta, N1NT3ND0), will take to the stage. The festival's culmination will be a grand electronic music show on August 16th, featuring performances by Lilova, Karena Macarena, Nekhristov, Meyer Bergy, and Dibidabo.
In addition to the competitive events and music performances, the festival will also offer masterclasses in skateboarding, parkour, and yoga, providing opportunities for attendees to learn new skills.
The festival will be hosted by the gambling zone "Krasnaya Polyana" and the Krasnaya Polyana Resort, which has recently opened a high-altitude summer tented camp for festival-goers. The Perseid meteor shower will also be visible at an altitude of 2200 meters above sea level during the festival, adding a celestial touch to the event.
Matches of 3x3 street basketball from the Krasnodar Amateur Basketball League will also be played during the festival, offering a taste of the exciting world of basketball.
With its mix of sports, music, and cultural activities, the IGRA Sports and Music Festival promises to be an unforgettable experience for all who attend. So, mark your calendars and get ready for an action-packed week in Sochi!
