Okean elzy festival nashestvie hd
Nashestvie (Russian: Нашествие) is one of the largest open-air festivals of Russian rock, organized by Nashe Radio station. It is held annually during the first weekend of July (until 2006: first weekend of August) somewhere in the environs of Moscow, Russia, since 1999 (open air since 2000) to this day with the exception of 2007. Nashestvie changed its venue several times: it was initially set in Ramenskoye, Moscow Oblast, but recently it moved northwest to Tver Oblast.

The festival's name is a word play in Russian: it literally means "invasion", but is also derived from the name of Nashe Radio (Our Radio). Media also dubbed it "Russian Woodstock".

Format
Nashestvie is participated by majority of Russia's most popular rock artists (such as Aria, Alisa, Agatha Christie, Splean, Korol i Shut), as well as bands from Ukraine and Belarus, such as Okean Elzy or Lyapis Trubetskoy. Most of the headliners represent usual Nashe Radio playlist.
Bands are not paid for participating in Nashestvie (unlike those participating in rival Krylya Festival). Instead the festival is used as a free promotion for them. Young and obscure bands can participate in Nashestvie too, they play in the mornings or, since 2005, on special separate stages. Some of the bands, namely Epidemia and Melnitsa, that begun their Nashestvie history in "genre ghettos", recently started to play on the main stage.
