Ukraine’s Yagody is returning to Minneapolis, playing the Cedar Cultural Center this April 7, 2026.

We saw the band in April 2025 and wrote, “Yagódy are a self-described theater and music group, reinterpreting Ukrainian folk music and traditional dress for modern audiences. Founder Zoriana Dybovska worked to find other performers, forming an initial band in 2016. Their debut, self-titled album was released in 2020 and was focused on those traditional Ukrainian, Serbian, and Bulgarian songs. Their first original song, Tsunamia, was the country’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 and placed fifth. They are currently in the middle of their 20-stop North American tour. The band appeared as a quintet: three singers (with one on accordion), a bass guitarist and a drummer. The drummer translated for the introduction from one of the singers. The second song was impressive for the nature and bird noises in the introduction before the vocals began. While the singers were each impressive, the addition of bass and drums helped add to the rhythmic beat. The third song had great vocal solos, especially to end the song. This is aggressively danceable music, loud and pulsing. This drives forward and weirdly, wouldn’t be out of place at a dance club.”

Ukrainian Village Band to open.
