On August 22-25 Vladivostok will become international music capital. The first in Russia showcase festival Vladivostok Rocks will start. At the same time the biggest international music conference will be held. V-ROX is a loud and brave attempt to turn Vladivostok into a cultural capital of the Pacific Region. It will give young russian music an opportunity to conquer large world industry. 

Over 200 artists from 8 countries will perform for 4 days at open stages and club stages of Vladivostok. Local bands will take active part at concerts. Basic locations are main square, Sports Embankment (Sportivnaya Naberezhnaya), Admiralsky Square and Art-etage museum and gallery. Electro stage will be provided by Red Bull Music Academy and will be located in Street Bar.
Headliners of the V-ROX will be No Brain (South Korea), Ego Wrappin’ (Japan), P.K.14 (China), Julien-K (USA) and Mummiy Troll (Russia) which will present their new album.

Important part of the V-ROX is workshops and panel discussions for regional artists. That’s where they can find out about how to record music, start their own label, what is music crow funding etc. Among the V-ROX’s speakers there are Mike Clink (Guns’n'Roses’ producer), Jimy Wang (chief executive of Shanghai Music King Records), Amir Derakh (one of the pioneers of LA music industry), Jeff Greenberg (Grammy Academy coordinator), Sat Bisla (president and founder of MUSEXPO and A&R Worldwide) and other festivals organizers from different cities in Russia and Asia.
