This first festival in Yakutia is not limited by any conceptual framework. The festival "Elleyada Rock 2008" is essentially a new stage in the evolution of such large-scale events in our republic.

To support ethnic music of indigenous peoples of Yakutia, with sufficient numbers of participants, there will be music contests in jews harp (guimbarde), competition Yakutian musicians playing on national instruments, singers contest "Degeren."

However, preserving all the best of the traditional rock festival, the organizers will bring much new in the program. Thus "night block" will be crowned by a huge rave with the masthead DJs from London, accompanied by a laser show. On the Under-the-sky stage will be held alternative discotheque of Hard & Heavy and music of 80s. No separate attention at the festival "Elleyada 2008 Rock" deserves a project "Large campfires". Together with the Russian Emergency Management Agency big three "pioneer" campfires will be created burning at night during the festival. Each such campfire is a special area of interest "Rock party", "Ethno party" and "Hip-hopers" where, depending on their wishes, visitors can come to spend time listening to bard songs or performing with friends or participate in the discussion club or listen to master classes by interesting people.

The festival is going to attract people with different cultural perspectives and musical addiction, because at the Festival "Elleyada Rock 2008" there will be a lot of interesting for any party. The programme will be structured so as to escape from the traditional division by performers and audience. For the organizers and performers each come to the festival is primarily a part of a large celebration. And everything will be done to create an unforgettable atmosphere of joy and "complete take off". The main objective of the festival is to have a fantastic weekend, which everyone will remember for the whole year.

For this ambitious action a highly professional team of responsible enthusiasts who was at the sources of international festival "Tabyk" will be in charge. The clear work of this team with the full cooperation to the administration of Megino-Kangalass ulus and the town Maya would achieve a high degree of organization and 100% security at the festival.

Social zones such as "Drugstore", "Social water", "Hot water", "Mobile phone charger", etc. will be throughout the festival. В дополнение к большой автомобильной парковке на 300 автомашин добавится велосипедная стоянка. In addition to the large car parking for 300 cars a bicycle parking lot will be added.

On the territory of the festival enough space for more than 500 tents and 100 VIP-tents will be reserved. Check-in is August 1st, at 9AM and will continue all day.
