"Invasion" is an annual festival of Russian rock music, held since 1999. The most famous and favorite heavy music performers perform on its stage, hundreds of thousands of people are going to listen to them.
In 2012, the Nashestvie festival was held in the Tver region from 6 to 8 July and delighted fans with both traditional high-quality performance of rock music and new events in the program.

In addition to them, such regular guests as "Alice", "Pilot", "The King and the Fool", "Lyapis Trubetskoy", "Kipelov", "Bravo" and others performed. A novelty of "Invasion" was the performance of Boris Grebenshchikov and his group "Aquarium" - he became a participant in this event for the first time.
According to the rules of the 13th festival, each performer played one of the songs of the legendary Viktor Tsoi, thereby marking his possible 50th anniversary. And the group "Bravo" also congratulated their former soloist - Zhanna Aguzarova on the golden anniversary. The duration of each performance was about 45 minutes, during which they performed their favorite hits for the audience.
A bright and long-awaited event of this rock festival was the performance of Zemfira, who appeared on the stage of "Invasion" for the first time in 10 years. Her appearance on the stage looked especially impressive - the singer was delivered there by a helicopter. I was also surprised by the image of the singer, which has changed in recent years, as well as her repertoire. For an hour and a half of her performance, Zemfira performed her famous songs "Sky, Sea, Clouds", "Cigarettes", "Want" and many others. And also new songs - "Money" and "Without Chances". According to her, the song "Daisies", sung by her as an encore, was performed for the last time, and she finished her performance with the song "Arividerchi".
