Zaxidfest
Zaxidfest ( ; previously known as Zaxid) is an annual international music and art festival held in the middle of August near Lviv, Ukraine. ZAKHID was founded in 2009 as a festival of Ukrainian rock and ethno music. Later it has lost an attachment to some concrete music genre and was expanded by different foreign artists (including Anti-Flag, Caliban, Clawfinger, Ektomorf, Everlast, Ill Niño, Kreator, Oomph!, Zdob şi Zdub and others). Every year organizators conduct online-survey where anybody can propose and vote for artist. In this way the list of participants is formed. Also some artists are invited based  on organizators' initiative and their names are hidden until the tickets sales start. The event name means in Ukrainian equivocally "West" (or "Western", meaning western part of Ukraine) and "Festival". Location. In 2009 and 2010 Zakhid was held in towns of Zvenyhorod and Stare Selo respectively (around 20 km from Lviv). Since 2011 the festival has been relocated to the village of Rodatychi (around 40 km from Lviv). Participants. There is a list of some Zakhid participants:
