Kyiv

Kyiv held its own event in-line with the Park Live festival on the same dates. Initially, the festival was planned to be held at the Expocenter of Ukraine 3 days in a row, but due to the unfavorable political situation in the city, then a decision was made to change the format of the festival in Kyiv. The event was to be held at the Stereo Plaza concert club on June 26 and 27. The headliner of the first day was to be the Deftones and the headliners of the second day were to be Enter Shikari and Wolfmother.

Also on June 28 and 29 concerts of two previously planned groups(Wild Beasts and Skillet), as well as a special guest deTach, were to be held at the Sentrum and Stereo Plaza clubs as part of the Park Live Kyiv festival.

On June 13, 2014 organisers, Russian concert agency "Melnitsa", announced the cancellation of the festival in Kyiv due to the 2014 Ukrainian crisis. The agency stated that the holding of a festival "was entirely appropriate at this stage" and they believes "that the situation in the country will be resolved peacefully."[4].
