Entrance service to the territory
If you arrive by car, you will need to purchase a package with access to the festival site.
Since our event is outdoors, we recommend bringing mosquito repellent with you.
Consider protection from unexpected rain - rubber boots, umbrellas, raincoats, etc. But let's hope that all this is not required.
Vice versa tip: if you don’t plan to stay in a tent or hotel room during the day, take sunscreen with SPF
Our festival is more of a hike than a club party, so choose the look accordingly. Designer items or expensive jewelry are best left at home
Are you 100% sure that you are going to the festival? Then buy your train tickets in advance.
Try to find travel companions in advance who will go to the festival from your city. This can be done in AFP groups on social networks.
Many music lovers are eagerly waiting and asking: where will the 2018 AFP be held? Naturally, guests are interested in the question of cost entrance tickets and the composition of the performance participants.
We will try to answer the questions that have arisen in a detailed form, and also consider options for accommodation and travel to the venue of the music festival. But first, a little history. Let's remember how the previous event took place.
The festival of electronic music and technology has already been held four times. Last time in 2017 from July 7 to 9. The venue was an airfield on the banks of the Volga, not far from Nizhny Novgorod: Bolshoye Kozino.
Rainy weather and other natural disasters could not spoil the festive mood of the performers and guests of the musical event. 130 performers performed on five stages, and the audience was entertained by DJs from the world's top twenty. The show was enjoyed by 50 thousand visitors from 20 countries.
Apparently, listening to musical works, the listeners had a serious appetite. Then how to explain that the guests and participants “swallowed” 12 tons of food and drank more than 60 thousand tons of different drinks. One can only imagine how much the amount of drinking would increase in good weather?
Remembering the bright moments of the previous musical event, we are mentally preparing for the new, fifth holiday, which should take place in Nizhny Novgorod. The festival is expected to open immediately after the World Football Championship matches.
Festival location in 2018
Question: Where will the fifth Alfa Future People be held in 2018? Most likely, the venue for the music show will be Nizhny Novgorod. More precisely, Bolshoye Kozino. The event is scheduled for July 20th.
This is due to the successful holding of the holiday in 2017 and a number of issues related to the accommodation and accommodation of participants. Last year's experience showed that the organizers, in principle, coped with the task.
Entrance fees
On last festival guests had to pay an amount from 5.5 to 18 thousand rubles. It is still difficult to say a clearly established rate for 2018. After all, there are still almost 11 months until the new musical event. As practice has shown, it will be necessary to worry about tickets in advance.
And also think about where to stay on the days of the music show. After all, approximately more than 50 thousand people can attend the next musical event!
Guest accommodation: where to stay
It is not easy to accommodate such a mass of people. You can find your temporary shelter on the territory of Alpha Camping. Just like last year. It is proposed to allocate a separate zone for open air for visitors in the Caravan tent hotel. This:
- Fully equipped tents.
- 24-hour reception for arriving participants and guests.
- Luggage storage for personal belongings.
- Washbasins and showers with hot water supply.
If you choose a hotel or hostel in Nizhny Novgorod, then you can get to the venue of the musical event by train. Transfer to AFP is provided.
Organized trips are available to attend events from many major cities Russia. Follow information on social networks and city news, and also take an interest in the material on the official festival website.
Who will entertain the guests?
Like last year, much will depend on the desires of our active listeners. We are talking about discussing desirable performers on social networks.
It is expected that the previous performers will perform and serve the festival of electronic music and technology:
- Arabmuzic.
- A-Track.
- Mike Skinner & Murkage Presents Tonga.
Other performers may perform. World stars are expected to perform:
- Apashe.
- Borgore.
- Gunz for Hire.
- GUS GUS.
Expected arrival:
- Tchami;
- GusGus Live;
Viktor Strogonov promises to give unforgettable moments and experience amazing emotions with him.
Traditionally, various sporting events are expected to be held for visitors. There are recreation areas with all kinds of attractions and fun.
Finally
We recommend that music gourmets and connoisseurs of modern rock purchase tickets in advance. For the 2018 Alpha Future People celebration, tickets will cost no less than last year.
But that's not the main thing. The important thing is that they can sell out like hotcakes!
Stay tuned for upcoming information! See you at the festival of rock and new technologies!

For a person!

The main organizer of the event is the Alpha group of companies, which determined the name of the festival.
The festival is attended by world-famous stars such as Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, Paul van Dyk, Steve Angello, the Knife Party project, Sander van Doorn, Fedde Le Grand, Nero, Infected Mushroom, Borgore, Netsky, as well as Russian DJs: Arty, Swanky Tunes, Matisse&Sadko, Bobina and DJ Smash.
In 2018, the festival will be held at the same location in August.

For a small fee you can set up your own or rented tent in the campground. On the territory you can use showers, toilets, and food outlets. It is prohibited to use open fire on the territory of the town, including barbecues and gas stoves.
Criticism of the festival
Local residents and Nizhny Novgorod residents criticize AFP for mountains of garbage, constant traffic jams and noise, and a breeding ground for alcoholism and drug addiction. However, the organizers of Alfa Future will strive to minimize all inconveniences and consequences for local residents.
Where can I buy tickets for AFP?
Tickets for Alfa Future can be purchased on the festival website alfafuture.com
How to drive Alfa Future?
During the days of Alpha Future, a lot of people come to the festival, so we ask you to be patient and understand possible inconveniences such as traffic jams and crowds of people in transport.
By public transport
The most convenient way to get to the festival site is by train Zavolzhsky direction from the central station of Nizhny Novgorod to Kozino station. On the days of the event, the Volga-Vyatka Suburban Company assigns additional trains to Art. Kozino.
By personal car
Festival organizers and local authorities recommend visiting AFP public transport: due to the abundance of cars around the village and on adjacent highways, many kilometers of traffic jams form despite traffic restrictions and paid entry of cars into the territory of the village.
This weekend the fourth AFP festival took place. The most peripheral of the large ones, the largest of the Russian ones, the loudest in Europe (according to the results of several international awards). Every year it attracts tens of thousands of people, millions of photos and videos fly online in two days, so even those who have never been to AFP have an idea about it. Therefore, this time the editors of the portal site, which regularly attends the fest, decided to dispel the most common myths about Alfa Future People. Perhaps it is malicious prejudice that is preventing someone from going to AFP next year?
There's only electronic music
Overall, yes, this is a festival of the world's best DJs. This year's headliners included Hardwell, Oliver Heldens, Don Diablo, Dyro, NERVO and more. But if we compare it with the first years, there is now a tendency to diversify the musical menu. It’s not for nothing that this year’s festival had five stages; at the Casa Musica venue one could hear a more “live” sound. The organizers even admitted that they would not mind seeing both Coldplay and Adele at the festival (however, they made a reservation that the ticket price may change).
In general, now AFP is not even entirely about music. If other initially music festivals introduce additional activities into the program, it is only so that there is something to do before the start of the main action. Here the technology platform begins to attract attention; this time TED lectures from especially valuable speakers attracted up to 400 listeners.
The sports side of the festival is represented by not the most banal activities; here you can try SUP surfing, ems simulators, power acrobatics on the pole and aerial platforms, as well as play streetball, baseball, and football. The last sport at the festival was commentated by Viktor Gusev, which caused considerable excitement. The festival strives to become attractive to those who do not like loud music. The organizers are confident that next year people will come who will find the daytime program more interesting than the nighttime program. AFP is gradually turning into a lifestyle festival.
AFP is a wild field
Where there is no civilization, everyone lives in tents, in general, they enjoy all the paraphernalia of a bard festival in the outback of Russia. If you think so, then you are not thinking about AFP.
The festival takes place on the site of a former airfield, the territory of which borders on the village of Bolshoye Kozino, so for access there is an asphalt road leading to the campsite itself.
The AFP infrastructure would be amazing if anyone noticed it, but we get used to good things so quickly that we consider this state of affairs to be proper. Everywhere, absolutely everywhere, you can pay with a card or an entrance bracelet (in fact, this is the only way to pay; cash is not used on the field). Two main technology partners, Alfa-Bank and Beeline, took care of this, setting up a contactless payment system at the first festival, when it seemed like a curiosity.
Communication in this “wild field” is also excellent. 4G Internet and wi-fi on all 400 square meters of the festival - Beeline once again broke the record and created the largest coverage area in the open air.
The infrastructure is well thought out; the organizers understand that even the biggest festival consists of little things. Therefore, there are enough food trucks so that there are no queues, you don’t have to look for a long time for a toilet, a shower is a lifesaver not only in the heat, but also in a dirty summer is not superfluous, as practice has shown.
This is a festival for young people
No, this is a festival of progressive people leading an active lifestyle. For a minute, the beginning of the heyday of electronic music was found by those who are now out of frenzied age, but do not mind plunging into the atmosphere of a rave. True, if at the last festival there were enough people of the conventional age “40+/-”, this year there were noticeably fewer, apparently they preferred home acoustic systems to mud baths.
There will be a lot of people there who are drunk or high on other substances.
This is what parents will say, arguing for a ban on a teenage child going to the festival. We won’t say “no, no, everyone is purely positive,” because we will be lying. There will always be isolated cases at a festival of 50,000 people. But these are really just a few; dancing under doping is not a mass phenomenon, as it was at the raves of the 90s or in the glamorous clubs of the 2000s. Still a concept modern holiday has changed. Millennials are the people who make up the majority at the festival and are interested in their health (this can be seen from the demand for innovative medicine stands in the technology zone) and sports (the number of sports activities is growing every year). So next year, you can send your adventurous electronic music lover to this festival with a pure heart.
