Meet Anastheia Band, who will perform at the Dobroslet Festival on Friday, August 30th at 8 PM.
The band will play a mix of original songs by the singer/songwriter Anastheia and popular covers of Zemfira, Monetochka, The Hardkiss, and more. Their sound can be described as dance-rock, so be prepared to move, groove, and head-bang a little.
Formed in 2023, Anastheia Band is made up of talented musicians from different cities across North America who unite for special shows like the one at Dobroslet. In just over a year, they’ve performed at five festivals, rocking the stage at Pereplyot, Echo, and Zhara.
You might be wondering, how do these guys rehearse while being in totally different cities? Well, they do it remotely. A little project management, a lot of trust and professionalism, and a sprinkle of pixie dust, and there you have it. The result is always a fiery show and a ton of fun!
At the forefront of the band is Anastheia (Nastia Kedrova), who some of you may recognize from past Dobroslet festivals, performances with Just Band, Masked Bark, and several other musical projects in Canada and the US.
The lead guitarist is none other than Konstantin Necrasov (Volkodrom, Half Past Four), the boss of bass is Igor “Gorynich” Minustin, and the human drum machine is Vitaly Ablaev.
Anastheia Band is a story intertwined through cities and hearts. We invite you to become part of this musical journey!
In the meantime, stay up to date with the latest and greatest from the band via Facebook and Instagram @anastheia

Dobro Camp for singles 2023 🏕️ - Thanksgiving Weekend Vibes! 🦃
🙌 29 awesome people + 1 adorable dog 🐶
3 days of unpredictable weather - rain, snow, and the occasional sun 😄
But what truly mattered were the infinite moments of laughter, smiles, warm hugs, and deep conversations. 💬✨
These memories are here to stay! 📸💖
🏕️Доброслет 2024 – что хотим изменить и добавить
🔥🎵Добро джем: приняли решение менять время его проведения. В 2024 он будет начинаться в 5-6 вечера и продолжаться до 11 вечера, и неофициально примерно ещё 2 часа 😉
📍Кроме того добавим ещё две точки🔥, где можно будет попеть песни у костра
🎤Хотим дополнить песни у костра акустическими выступлениями с сетами руссоязычных каверов любимых песен.
Чтобы у вас была возможность послушать песни в красивом звучании и попеть самим
🎪Детская зона для детей до 5-6 лет. Сделаем огромную палатку, где дети вместе в волнтерами будут играть, надувать шарики, рисовать, делать «татушки», лепить из пластилина.
В идеале к чему стремимся: сделать возможность для родителей оставить там своего ребенка на 45 минут-час и в это время спокойно отправиться самим на мастер классы👌🏻
👯Программа для тинейджеров. Мини программа внутри лагеря подростков, где будут мастер классы и игры (в т.ч. Мафия)
🙌🏻Самые популярные и понравившиеся воркшопы планируем дублировать и проводить два дня подряд. Чтобы все желающие смогли в них поучаствовать🫶🏻

This year, the festival was simply amazing! But we’re already busy planning for next year, and we have many ideas that we’ll be implementing in 2024 to make the festival even bigger and better.
We will open ticket sales for next year for 3 days at the lowest price, and then it will increase. If you enjoyed the festival and don’t want to miss it next year, grab your tickets during these 3 days. If your plans change, you can always get a full refund until August 1, 2024.
Last year, 60% of the festival tickets were purchased right after the festival, and we closed ticket sales 2 months before the festival started because of strict limits on tents and parking from the park owners. Many people asked us to open ticket sales for the two months leading up to the festival, but we couldn’t due to these restrictions.
So, I kindly ask everyone who wants to attend next year not to wait six months or a year to make a decision. I’m sure you won’t regret it ☺️❤️
❗️🔥The link to the EARLY BIRD tickets will be open for just 3 days until Friday, September 8, 2023
❗️🔈Once again about the camp rules.
We have quiet meadow (Venya’s camp and Veronika’s camp and RV camp) - there shouldn’t be any noise after 8-8.30 pm, because most of the kids will go to sleep at that time.
‼️Please note 📝, if you want to talk, play or do anything loud after 8.00 pm and you live at the quiet meadow, please go to the main area near the stage ➡️to do so.
Other camps ( Ivan’s, Irina’s, Rezeda’s and Dima’s camps ) can stay loud up until 11pm.
❗️After 11pm if you want to talk, play, dance, sing, you are very welcome to do so at the loud meadow, but not at your camp.
🙌 Many adults and children will go to sleep at that time, please respect their right to sleep and rest.
Everyone are welcome at the loud meadow for music Dobro Jam!❤️🥳
Please bring your camping chairs with you! 😉
By the way, open fire🔥 is permitted only at the loud meadow. Everywhere else on the park’s territory you are not allowed to do fires.🚫
It is the park’s law!!!
PS 🍾Please don’t bring any glass bottles to the festival. If it will break - it would be a very dangerous hazard for all attendees. Glass is not permitted at the festival. 🚫
PS.PS If you are bringing your own food 🥘, please make sure to bring garbage bags with you, and take all the garbage on the way back home. (As you would do at any other camping site)
‼️Garbage container on the territory is for food vendors only.

🌱ClearBeing Flow & Breathwork
Through intuitive somatic movement and connection to the breath you will be invited to slow down and relax into the present moment, to let go of the outside obligations, and simply be as you are.
🧘🏻♀️In mindful movement we will find play, presence, and a deeper connection to the wisdom that is found within the body. We can explore the process of befriending our bodies and to deeply listen in a way that allows its desires and needs to arise moment to moment and to be met in a compassionate and intentional way. This process can open us up to the wisdom that resides within and for the body to release deeply held tensions allowing for a heightened sense of vitality and relaxation to be felt within the body.
💫As we move from movement into breathwork there will be guidance to lay down in a restful position, to close the eyes and rest awareness on the breath. Through a variety of breath patterns we can facilitate the movement of stagnant energies, an increase of vitality and energy in the body, strengthening of the nervous system all of which contributes to the natural unwinding and relaxation of the entire BE-ing
