Breathe Set to Perform at Atlas Festival 2026
The organizers of Atlas Festival 2026 have confirmed that Australian duo Breathe will take the stage. Scheduled from July 17 to 19 in Kyiv, the event will be held at Blockbuster Mall, a venue featuring Ukraine's largest certified shelter from the State Emergency Service (DSNS). This setup allows the festival to proceed while prioritizing safety measures.
Breathe, consisting of Andrew Grant and Sean Walker, will make their debut performance in Ukraine. The artists are traveling from Sydney, where they are currently based, and specialize in downtempo and electronic soul music. Although the duo had no tour plans for 2026, their participation marks a significant moment for Ukrainian music fans.
“We’re coming to Ukraine because some connections need to become real—face to face, in one room, breathing the same air. For those who feel. For Ukraine.” — Breathe
Other Festival Acts
Atlas Festival 2026 will also feature a range of well-known artists and bands, including:

Last year, the festival welcomed members of the Finnish rock band The Rasmus, who performed their hit 'In the Shadows' and paid respects at a memorial for Ukrainian soldiers near St. Sophia's Cathedral.
Breathe’s appearance at Atlas Festival 2026 highlights not only the musical but also the cultural significance of the event for Ukraine during challenging times. The festival serves as a platform for exchange between artists and audiences, fostering emotional connection and symbolizing hope for renewal and unity through music. The involvement of international performers helps strengthen cultural ties and supports the Ukrainian music scene in this difficult period.
