Early show – ends at 21:00.
The Hardkiss is an independent band from Kiev, Ukraine, founded in 2011. They are a symbiosis of rock, pop, and electronic music, which the members call progressive pop. Led by charismatic singer Julia Sanina, they will perform at Lucerna Music Bar on November 13, 2026.

Throughout their career, The Hardkiss have played countless tours across Ukraine, Europe, and the United States, building a devoted fan base around the world. In 2023, singer Julia Sanina became co-host of Eurovision in Liverpool, where the band also performed at the opening ceremony – a moment that went down in their history.

After the outbreak of war in 2022, the band became actively involved in charitable and social projects and supported Ukraine with their music. Julia also served as a cultural ambassador at a number of international events.

In June 2025, The Hardkiss released the single Crush – their first new release after a long creative hiatus, during which they prepared a new album planned for 2026. It is set to present the band in a rawer, darker, and harder form. The year 2026 will be crucial for The HARDKISS: not only will they release a new album and celebrate 15 years on the scene, but they will also perform on the main stage at the Wacken Open Air festival and embark on a major European tour, which aims to be their biggest yet.
