Tbilisi Hip-Hop Festival

On October 17, Factory Tbilisi will host the first Tbilisi Hip-Hop Festival. The festival will bring together different forms of urban culture — music, street dance, and visual art — in one large-scale space.

🎧 LINEUP

Talib Kweli — a Brooklyn legend and one of the defining voices of socially conscious hip-hop over the past 25 years. Best known for the iconic Black Star project with Mos Def, he remains one of the genre’s most authentic and energetic live performers.

FLOHIO — one of the standout voices of South London’s new wave of British rap. Rather than treating grime, rap, and electronic music as separate genres, she transforms them into one continuous, high-energy flow.

TAHA — one of the leading figures in contemporary Georgian hip-hop. An MC whose expressive and energetic performance style has earned the unconditional support of a new generation.

Kay G — a voice of Tbilisi you recognize from the very first beat: unhurried, confident, and precise. He keeps the momentum in the low frequencies — exactly where the acoustics demand that you turn the volume up.

Mush One — there is hip-hop born in the city, and there is hip-hop that arrives in the city. Beat first, lyrics second — this golden rule remains unchanged for Mush One. Boom Bap aesthetics merge with jazz-hop waves, while lyrical precision invites you into his own world.

Showcases

Sioni Hi-Fi Soundsystem — hip-hop’s roots trace back to Jamaican music culture. Georgia’s first soundsystem will bring this tradition and its authentic sound to life.

Red Bull Dance Your Style — Street Dance Showcase — this is not a standard competition, but an improvisational show with no pre-set choreography and no rigid framework.

Graffiti Battle — a major platform for street art and urban aesthetics. Artists will create large-scale visual works live, in real time, right in front of the audience.

Cultural Zone

📸 “50 Iconic Moments of Hip-Hop History” — a photo exhibition exploring half a century of the genre’s history, its defining moments, and iconic imagery.

🎬 Film Screening Zone — a dedicated cinema space where selected Georgian and international documentaries and feature films related to hip-hop culture will be shown throughout the day.

Also available on site: Food Court, bar, and a variety of entertainment and interactive areas.
