SALT AND FIRE

SALT & FIRE

Rooted in Music. United by Light.

The inaugural boutique music festival in Georgia.

SALT & FIRE is a jewel-box boutique festival where outstanding artists from Georgia, Armenia, Russia and the UK come together to celebrate music, nature and the joy of gathering.

Set among the vineyards and rolling hills of Salty Garden, this one-day open-air experience unfolds like a carefully curated journey, where each hour reveals a new discovery — music, movement, art, flavours, conversations and moments of wonder.

More than a festival, SALT & FIRE is a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself and with nature, discover inspiring artists, and celebrate the simple beauty of being together.

Artists

SunSay (Ukraine)

Ukrainian fusion-funk band fronted by singer-songwriter Andriy Zaporozhets — formerly of legendary duo 5'nizza. Blending reggae, funk, fusion and alternative rock across five studio albums, SunSay has built a devoted following across Europe. Philosophically minded songwriting, high-energy live performance, and a sound that moves fluidly between Russian, Ukrainian and English. No two shows feel the same.

Asea Sool (Georgia) 

A duo born in Batumi, where British rock'n'roll, Delta blues, French chanson and Georgian folk meet in one deeply honest sound. Atina's soulful vocals and Beka's masterful guitar create a musical dialogue that moves between intimate lyricism and pure live energy.

Gregg Kofi Brown (UK) 

Singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer best known for his collaborations with afrobeat legends Osibisa, jazz icon Billy Cobham, and Stanley Jordan — as well as Sting, Des'ree and Ed Sheeran. A musician who carries decades of world music in his hands.

Gveedon (Georgia) 

Composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist whose music blends live instrumentation with contemporary electronic sound. Released on Universal Music France, his track entered the global Shazam chart and aired on major radio stations worldwide. His remix was recognized by Moby and released on the artist's own label — a rare mark of respect from one of electronic music's most influential figures.

Erónika (UK) 

The musical alter ego of London-based artist Véronika Mokhireva, born in the Ural Mountains. Powerful vocals, electronic textures and theatrical performance come together in a neo-sacred pop experience that feels like ritual as much as concert.

Marine Manasian (Armenia) 

A vocalist rooted in Armenian musical tradition, bringing ancient depth to a contemporary sound. Her voice carries something timeless — the kind that stops a conversation and holds a room still.

Vladimir Rusinov (Netherlands)

A guitarist, producer and promoter working across blues, soul and roots music. Over the years, he has performed and collaborated with leading artists of the contemporary blues scene, including John Németh, Bob Margolin, Kid Andersen, Rick Holmstrom and others. Now based in Amsterdam, Vladimir returns to music with a new focus as an independent artist and producer.

Ecstatic Dance with DJ Amir

The evening closes with an Ecstatic Dance session led by DJ Amir — a pioneer of conscious dance culture, headliner at festivals across Europe and Asia, and creator of Yoga Rave. A space to move freely, let go and feel the night fully — no steps, no rules, just music and the body finding its own way.

Waste Sorting at SALT & FIRE

We care about the place we gather in. SALT & FIRE is partnering with Parki Ar Minda — an NGO dedicated to reducing waste in Georgia — to organise waste sorting at the festival. Parki Ar Minda will be on site to help guests sort recyclables and ensure that plastic, glass, paper and other materials are collected responsibly rather than sent to landfill.

Produced by Maria Semushkina
