Twenty cities in thirty-five days. The project's first-ever performance in Japan and South Korea.
ONUKA embarks on the largest tour in the project's history — 20 cities in 35 days from 8 August to 11 September 2026. The tour covers Europe (10 cities: Berlin, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Hamburg, Zurich, Prague, Warsaw, Brussels), North America (4: New York, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles), and — for the first time in project history — Asia (6 cities: Tokyo ×2 concerts, Seoul ×2, Taipei, Hong Kong). Tour programme — full presentation of the new 'RoOots' album (see separate news) plus a curated selection of the project's signature songs. On stage ONUKA features an 8-member ensemble, including three authentic folk tradition carriers (from the Hrymailiv residency), bandura player Anton Hrabovetsky, percussionist on Ukrainian ritual instruments, and an electronic section. Particularly anticipated performances are two sold-out concerts at Tokyo Bunkamura Orchard Hall (ticket demand exceeded supply 6× within 24 hours) and the performance at legendary Korean Seoul Olympic Music Hall. Bilingual subtitles for song lyrics were prepared for Japanese and Korean audiences — translations were made by Japanese Ukrainian culture researcher Hiroshi Tatebe and Korean ethnomusicologist So Yoon.
