The ANTITILA band played three sold-out concerts at the Kyiv Palace of Sports – March 20, 21, and 22. With the “At Home” show, the band completed its all-Ukrainian tour, which covered almost 40 cities.
ANTITIL's large-scale concerts combined deep drama, modern scenography and visuals, high-quality sound and lighting, and brought together thousands of people who sang the band's songs in unison. Channel 24 will tell you more about the show.
Traditionally, the show began with a mini-standup by Maksym Vyshynsky, who became part of the “At Home” tour. He told interesting facts about the tour: for example, how the band traveled over 13,000 kilometers in 45 days.

ANTIBODY spectacularly appeared on stage on five light towers. The team created a visual concept of the show according to the principles of modern European live productions: complex scenography, more than 50 screens in the form of cubes and about 500 lighting devices synchronized into a single system, pyrotechnic effects. Maksym Syvolap and Maksym Topchiy were responsible for the sound quality.

The band performed hits created over 18 years and played tracks that have not been heard live for a long time. The song “You are the one” by ANTITILA was dedicated to the story of Yulia Mes and her husband – Hero of Ukraine, military pilot Oleksiy Mes with the call sign “Munfish”, who died on August 26, 2024 in battle.
The second concert was attended by the children of Taras Topoli, the band's frontman, and the third concert featured sixth-grader Vlad Tkach from Lviv. He played the guitar during the performance of the song “At Home.” Interestingly, the boy had previously performed with ANTIBODY at the Lviv Opera.

The directors of the show at the Palace of Sports were Pavlo Zakrevsky and Mariami Pogrebynska, and the costumes for Taras Topoli were created by Ukrainian fashion designer Ivan Frolov, whose outfits are worn by world celebrities.
The most difficult thing was technically, because musically we were, of course, prepared – it’s a big tour, 37 concerts, we’ve already played this musical program dozens of times, not counting soundchecks. And here we had to synchronize everything – the light, the sound, the special effects, the drama, our movements, our movements on stage. This is a different scale, and it required maximum concentration,
– shared the band's frontman.
Topolya added that in the end, the three concerts went ahead without any force majeure. The musician also noted that it is important to him that people leave the performance happier than they came.
