Until this week, we last updated this list February 23. It is a strange thing to return to such a schedule. We hope that you can support local musicians, local businesses, and together everyone will help each other by boosting morale, resting for strength, and making money to keep going.
We especially welcome members of foreign delegations, volunteer organizations, and the media to experience Lviv Live Music. Here you can read about some of the live music spirit of Lviv before the war

Random Sky project is always a unique collaboration of musicians from different bands and cities (hence «random») on the initiative of Lubomyr Radomsky.
This time they are performers from Kyiv and Lviv:
- Lubomyr Radomsky (Green Silence, RandomSky, Medorkestra) – viola saxophone, bagpipes;
- Mihailo Sarana – tenor saxophone, flute;
- Mykola Honcharenko – guitar;
- Serhiy Radetsky (bands RADZ, TEA with MEAT, SЮR BAND, Rock Opera «Taras Bulba») – bass guitar;
- Serhiy Lebid (bands Zhadan and dogs, Modern times, Cover jam) – drums.
The guys will fill the LV CAFE jazz club with psychedelic-funk duck and live sound meat, creating #deshansonization. All funds raised for the charity concert are donated to support the soldiers of the Armed Forces in the fight against the invaders.
