Tolstoys

Tolstoys (SK/DE) are a psychedelic rock band from Berlin with roots in Slavic and Celtic folklore.

After several years of intense touring across the United Kingdom, Germany, and Eastern Europe - including performances on the iconic stages of the Glastonbury festival and in front of more than 5,000 people at the Pohoda festival - the band has reached a point characterized by strong dynamics and shared magic.

Their live performances are built on a deep connection - among the band members themselves and with the audience. Night after night, listeners describe feeling shaken, open, and transported elsewhere - pulled into a state of tension and freedom reminiscent of the spirit of the '60s and the energy of Woodstock. For the band, this is no accident: it is the result of the absolute commitment of musicians who reject half-measures and fully invest in the music as well as in becoming better people for each other.

Since winning the "Debut of the Year" award (2017) for the album Botanika (2017), Tolstoys have released three studio albums - Mirror Me (2022), No Limit To Love (2024), and The Buzz (2025), with the latter focusing on capturing the raw concert energy of the band on record. In 2025, they went on a European tour with Alibet, a Senegalese musician, filmmaker, and intercultural artist, blending West African rhythms with the psychedelic soundscape of Tolstoys to create a powerful, intercultural concert experience in a 360° space.

Tolstoys continue to seek out opportunities where collective energy and freedom can flourish.
