In an interview, the front man of the band 24 Pesos revealed that this is not his first visit to Russia, though he had never been to Koktebel before. "This is a wonderful place. Of course, I like it a lot and I'm looking forward to playing at the festival," he said.
Julian Burdock also talked about his musical tastes. He likes a wide range of genres, including ‘80s pop, George Michael, Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Duke Ellington, Billy Idol and Elvis Presley. "When I play the blues, all of this comes through to some extent. What matters most is that the music is good, and I especially appreciate serious songs. It can be anything — pop, jazz from the 1930s, or punk rock — completely different music styles," he said.
