On November 29, 2026, The Hardkiss will make a long-awaited stop at Berns in Stockholm as part of their major European tour. The band from Kyiv has, over the course of fifteen years, developed into one of Ukraine’s most internationally successful musical exports, known for their genre-defying sound that blends rock, pop, electronic elements, and dramatic stage presence.

Frontwoman Julia Sanina has not only led the band to win several YUNA Music Awards, including in the categories Best Band and Best Album, but has also made her mark as a strong cultural voice beyond the stage. She was one of the hosts of the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool in 2023 and has served as a judge on both The Voice and The X Factor.

When the war in Ukraine broke out in 2022, the band became involved in charity and solidarity projects and has since become a symbol of how music can carry a message even in difficult times.

After a creative break, The Hardkiss released the single “Crush” in the summer of 2025, marking the start of a new chapter. In 2026, a brand-new album and a major tour await, coinciding with their 15th anniversary.
