ANTYTILA

Il programma

Descrizione originale

ANTYTILA is one of Ukraine’s best-known rock bands internationally, with a growing global audience and a touring history that extends well beyond the Ukrainian community.

The band last performed in Australia and New Zealand in November 2023, with shows in Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne as part of an international charity tour. The concerts brought together Ukrainian and local audiences, while funds raised went towards supporting Ukraine, including the Armed Forces of Ukraine and humanitarian initiatives.

In February 2027, ANTYTILA return with new music and a refreshed live show.

Alongside touring and recording new music, the band remains actively involved in volunteer and charitable work, using its international platform to raise awareness of Ukraine, its culture and the ongoing war.

One of ANTYTILA’s most significant recent international collaborations was “Yours Eternally”, released in February 2026 on U2’s Days of Ash EP. The track brought together U2, Ed Sheeran and ANTYTILA, featuring Bono, The Edge, Ed Sheeran and ANTYTILA frontman Taras Topolya.

The collaboration grew out of meetings and conversations between the musicians in Kyiv and London. At the heart of the song is the Ukrainian concept of “volia”, a word that conveys both freedom and will. Taras Topolya discussed the idea with Bono as a way of expressing something central to Ukraine’s identity and resistance.

“Yours Eternally” received significant international attention, with the collaboration covered by major media outlets around the world.

The song also continued ANTYTILA’s collaboration with Ed Sheeran. In 2022, the band joined Sheeran on a special Ukrainian version of his hit “2step”, helping introduce the band to an even wider international audience.
