About the event
The band has gained praise in international synthwave communities and in 2025 embarked on a European tour, performing their debut album at iconic venues and underground festivals.
This night will feature a live concert by Taknado and the premiere of their new music video for the track “Mercedes” — one of the standout hits from the album.
The album Taknado — Side A / Side B was released on vinyl and cassette. Tracks like Mercedes, Dance At My Funeral, Purple Haze, and Плащ feel tailor-made for cyberpunk games, shooters, and racing soundtracks.
Their cover of “Na Zare” (Aljans) with DJ Karpovich is already making waves in clubs from Central Asia to Latin America.
Special guests:
* Atari Warriors (Estonia) — synthwave, retrowave
* mOZ (Latvia) — darkdisco, darkwave
A neon summer night. Analog heat. Live energy. And the long-awaited video premiere — a night not to be missed.
