Visitors to the Comic Con Igromir festival, which will take place from December 12-14 at the Timiryazev Center, will not only be able to get acquainted with new releases in cinema, video games, comics, technologies, and fan content but also enjoy entertainment. In particular, the organizers, together with the streaming service Yandex Music, have prepared a large-scale music program that will take place on the stages in both halls of the festival space.

The show program will be opened by the Imperial Orchestra. On Friday, December 12, they will perform legendary compositions from "Star Wars", "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", and animated films by Hayao Miyazaki. Specially for the festival, the musicians created an exclusive collection called Cinema Medley featuring iconic compositions from their shows and concert programs based on the music of Joe Hisaishi, John Williams, Ludwig Göransson, and Howard Shore. The theme of soundtracks will be expanded by the band Brotherhood of Atom and Oligarkh, who will perform on Sunday, December 14, with compositions from Atomic Heart and the series "Cyber Slavs", as well as their original tracks.

On Friday evening, the band HLEB will take the main stage of the festival, having gone from comedic tracks and clips on YouTube at the beginning of their career to the status of one of the most recognizable groups in the country with over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Yandex Music. On Saturday, pop-rave artist Lida will perform, whose relevance is confirmed by a 2-million monthly listener audience on Yandex Music and collaborations with the most diverse artists—from Toxi$ and LSP to DJ SMASH and Dmitry Malikov. On Sunday, the music program of Comic Con Igromir will be closed by the star of cute rock, Dasha, who has won the hearts of over 2.2 million monthly listeners on Yandex Music.

Konstantin Sidorov, Director of Artist Relations at Yandex Music: "Festivals and concerts have reached their peak popularity this year. They are increasingly becoming not just a set of musical performances and sets but full-fledged shows and places where fans meet and communities are formed. Comic Con Igromir is an event with a powerful community and a rich history, and among fans of cinema, games, anime, and cosplay, music plays a significant role. In assembling the music program for the festival, we focused on the heroes who grew up within the pop-cultural community and on those who are regularly listened to and who pique the interest of representatives from various fandoms of the festival."

In addition to the main program, other musical guests will perform at the festival who participate in projects included in the event's program—they will take part in presentations or autograph sessions.

Traditionally, as part of Comic Con Igromir, a Cosplay Contest will take place and a Cosplayers' Alley will operate: participation has already been confirmed by popular cosplayers, including Zhenya GraysonFin, Medovika, Armeyes, and others. A large anime zone from the Asian culture festival Isekai Fest and the company Deep will occupy its place on the site, along with a tabletop games space from Hobby World, as well as an Authors' Alley, where guests and festival participants can meet comic creators, artists, and writers. The curator of this section is BUBBLE—the largest Russian publisher of original comics.
