Empty Hills

Empty Hills (Russian: Пустые холмы, romanized: Pustye Kholmy) was a non-commercial open-air alternative arts and music festival in Russia.

The festival was held annually since 2003, usually over several days in June, in Kaluga Oblast or Smolensk Oblast. It was a non-profit event with no admission fee or sponsorship. The efforts of volunteers were responsible for the production of the event.^{[citation needed]}

Unlike most music festivals, Empty Hills had no specific musical format or style. Among genres represented on the festival, there were folk music, blues, rock music, reggae, sometimes electronic music, jazz or avant-garde.
