In July 2025, German electronica artist SCHILLER set out on a remarkable journey — driving from Berlin to Kyiv to perform a special open-air concert.
It was a bold act of connection, bridging cultures through music in a city still under the shadow of war.

The night before the performance, Russia launched one of its heaviest attacks on Kyiv since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. Yet, as dawn broke on July 5th, thousands of people emerged from shelters and homes, determined to come together.

They gathered not just for a concert, but for a shared statement — a celebration of courage, freedom, and the unbreakable will to live. SCHILLER’s music became the soundtrack to that night: a moment of beauty and unity in defiance of fear.
