Get ready for a celebration of music and culture as HOLBON! Fest XIII takes over the Urdël family recreation park in Yakutsk, Yakutia, on August 23 and 24. This year's festival, the 13th installment of the popular event, is dedicated to supporting the local music scene in Yakutia and promises to be a vibrant conclusion to the summer season.

A total of 35 musical groups from Yakutia will perform on one stage, with both well-known artists and up-and-coming musicians showcasing their talent. Notable headliners for the event include "Dapsy", Baibal, SYYS YS (103), Askalon Pavlov with the group Muuston, and Chyskыыray with the Sakha Jazz Band.
