Pirate Station (Russian: Пиратская станция) was a drum and bass music festival, described as the world's biggest.[1][2] It's held every year since 2003, when St. Petersburg held the first event. It has spread to the biggest Russian cities (Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Samara etc.) and has also taken place in Estonia and Ukraine, which makes Pirate Station the biggest Russian dance project ever.[2][unreliable source?] Almost half a million people visited the festival during these years. The main St. Petersburg show hosts more than 25,000 fans annually. Pirate Station is not just about music – it is a mix of unique performances and special effects united by a concept which changes every year.[2]
