Music Festival on the Water: Cruise" All Stars Back Aboard in Moscow.

Cruise" All Stars Festival returns to Moscow to open the calendar summer with a two-day music marathon aboard the Cruise II by Kuznyahouse liner. On May 31 and June 1, the liner again becomes the venue for a festival bringing together more than fifty DJs, nine sailings, and dozens of sets. The event has grown in scale compared to last year and promises to be one of the city's most notable early-summer music events.

The festival runs over two days — from noon until deep into the night. During that time, nine sailings will take place aboard, each featuring a series of 40-minute back-to-back sets. A total of 28 are planned, with 55 participants — a mix of well-known DJs and music curators, as well as artists behind Moscow's cultural projects, venues, and festivals of recent years.

Among the festival's participants: the duo Lala and Pasa from the band Lovanda, "The Boy's Word" author Robert Garayev, DJ and producer Andrey Panin, as well as Igor Kompaniets, known for his work at "Solyanka," and Sergey Pleshakov, former art director of Simach. Anton Kiryanov, music curator of Veladora's "Avtomoyka," and artist Aman-Po-Kaifu, who specializes in oriental rhythms, round out the lineup.

Cruise II will host Powerhouse founder Andrey Algoritmik, vinyl collector Timur Omar, Andrey Li, known as "Director of Everything," and Lapti, a representative of the "GOST ZVUK" label. Artist Kirill Ashastin will take part in the festival alongside the musicians. Among the standout DJ duos: Anya Zakharova (Ha-HaBiBi, "Sila Vetra") and Pepsi Kolya from the "Rovesnik" team.

The final sailing on Sunday will be a kind of finale to the two-day marathon. That evening, Natasha Bai, author of recent seasons' hits, and Yegor Kholkin, art director of Simach, take the deck. Joining them: DJ Aktu, actor Pachino, Misha Gannushkin from "Krugly Shar," and Cruise II's own program director Tanya Andrianova, responsible for the festival's entire musical lineup.

The Cruise" All Stars festival isn't just about music. It's a way to start the summer among friends, on the water, surrounded by favorite artists. The format lets listeners move between sets, mingle with artists in an informal setting, dance under the open sky, and enjoy the city views from the deck. This experience is available only during these two days, while the liner cruises the routes that have become a tradition for fans of the city's boat cruises.
