Yekaterinburg is preparing to mark the 40th anniversary of the Sverdlovsk rock club, which will take place in 2026. The coming year has been declared the Year of Ural Rock in the Ural capital.
The initiator of the Year of Ural Rock was the former manager of the band Smyslovye Gallyutsinatsii, Oleg Genenfeld, writes Kommersant‑Ural. During 2026, Yekaterinburg will host themed concerts, lectures, exhibitions, tours, house concerts in bars, and plays, the publication reports.
On February 4 a "Big Rock House Concert" is scheduled at the KKT "Kosmos" in Yekaterinburg. The date is timed to coincide with the day of remembrance for the poet Ilya Kormiltsev, Kommersant‑Ural reports.

It includes Oleg Genenfeld himself, musicians Vladimir Shakhrin (Chaif), Vadim Samoylov (Agata Kristi), Alexander Pantykin (Urfin Jus), Evgeny Gorenburg (Ural Music Night), and Dmitry Karasyuk (journalist).
