Tolstoys

Berlin-based psychedelic outfit Tolstoys is one of the most electrifying live acts today.

As the first Slovak-rooted band to play Glastonbury Festival, they’ve brought their raw, unfiltered energy to stages across Europe. With The Buzz (out this May), they distill that magic into a record—played and sung together, live, like a real band. That’s rare these days.

Since winning the Debut of the Year 2017 Tolstoys played over 200 live shows and toured through Slovakia, Czechia, Germany, Switzerland and the UK. They appeared on big festivals abroad, such as Eurosonic or Glastonbury, as well as locally at Pohoda, Metronome, Grape or Colours. Their frontwoman Ela Tolstova was selected for Forbes 30 under 30.
