Surely many people know about the status of the event called Rock-Line, held annually in the capital of Perm Territory. In popularity, it is in no way inferior to Invasion.
History reference
Initially, the Rock-Line rock festival was held in Kungur. Back in 1998, he was included in the presidential program "Youth of Russia", becoming one of the best events in the country. Who organized such a large-scale project now? The creator of Rock-Line was the famous producer and musician Oleg Novoselov, who, unfortunately, is no longer alive. It was he who wanted to organize a concert venue on the roof of the local Stalagmit hotel, and to place the audience on the slope of the Ice Cave - a kind of natural amphitheater.
His idea was approved by regional officials and the Kungur mayor, and the hotel owner liked it, as you simply cannot imagine the best advertising for his business.
Event Popularity
The first Rock-Line in two days was visited by about 11 thousand people. Then the weather conditions were far from ideal: in May, snow suddenly fell, and despite the fact that it melted, it did not get warmer. One way or another, but the regional event was a resounding success: they started talking about it not only throughout the country, but also abroad.
In 1998, Oleg Novoselov was invited “overseas” (in the USA) as a representative of domestic socially significant projects.

Over three hundred applications were received from those wishing to participate in this grand event. The jury members also provided the opportunity to speak at a team from the Crimea. Belarus, Israel, Latvia, Finland - these and many other countries were represented at the rock festival this year.
For two days the audience was entertained by popular groups, including: Stepanova's Starlings, REVOLUTION, Parovoz (St. Petersburg), PRANA (Moscow), White Noise (Israel).
Rock-Line was hosted by well-known radio DJs Jana Gessle and Andrei Shmurai, as well as “city duty” Igor Gindis.
The concert venue was designed in a “black office”. A widescreen monitor was mounted over the entire width of the backdrop, its length was 12.5 meters and its height was 3 meters. Such stage equipment allowed each team to convey audio and video content as accessible as possible.
What did you remember the first day
The start of the event was scheduled for six in the evening on June 26.
On the first day of the festival, the audience was captivated by the performance of the famous St. Petersburg group “Submarine”. The soloist girl, who appeared in the image of a hare with a guitar, did not leave anyone indifferent. At the end of the first day, the notorious Stepanova Starlings spoke. Perm groups this time demonstrated diverse styles in music. Classical rock was played by the Jamahiriya group, ethnic notes sounded in the compositions of the Troin collective, and SING SONG reminded the audience of the “jacket” rock and roll. In general, there were plenty of hooligan tunes that day.
It is worth noting the performance of the domestic group Princesse Angine. Exclusive violin notes and non-trivial lyrics added romanticism to the general mood of the audience.
At midnight, the guests went out to entertain the acclaimed Kinonoch project, while Perm groups Soultrane and Reined introduced the audience to the original musical vision of silent films by Ernst Lubich: the comedy Princess Oysters and the drama Eyes of the Mummy Ma. Also on the stage appeared the group “Mars needs lovers” and The AIRA.
What did you remember the second day
The next day, musicians from the well-known Bravo band came out to entertain the audience. It was he who became the headliner of the festival. Negotiations on the performance of the popular group Elena Zorina-Novoselova were conducted in advance. The famous hit "Yellow Shoes", the musicians did not sing, but blew. Words from the smash hit immediately began to be heard from the crowd, and even someone who was not an ardent fan of Bravo sang along with everyone. Then the turn came to the famous hit "Of course, Vasya."
The audience immediately began to sing loudly, and then dance the twist. Leaving administrative affairs, Elena herself came out to have fun with the people. “This is another nostalgic composition from our distant life, ” commented the lead singer of the group, Eugene Havtan. For information, he and Robert Lenz performed wonderful hits, which were once sung by Zhanna Aguzarova and Valery Syutkin. One way or another, but Bravo, as the headliner, had potential competitors at the festival: Julia Kogan, who once performed with the Leningrad group, and Svetlana Surganova. However, the Rock Line budget was modest, and in the end, the legendary Bravo band agreed to headline: they did not have to persuade the musicians for a long time.
