What is KWC?

KWC stands for Karaoke World Championships. The sole meaning of the Karaoke World Championships is to provide the world's best karaoke entertainment year after year with the World Champion title in a men's and women's series. KWC has been organized annually since 2003.

The Karaoke World Championships is the world's biggest and most respected karaoke event. It brings together singers from all over the world, regardless of race, nation or religion. KWC is the opportunity for aspiring singers to show their amazing talents to the world and to give the crowd an unforgettable experience. All this and more is available for you in Moscow later this year!

The Karaoke World Championships is more than just a singing contest. Over the course of few nights, KWC will provide the opportunity for everyone to be a part of the action. Sing and dance the night away at the public karaoke or cheer for your favorite contestant at the main stage. KWC also has traditionally the pleasure of offering a professional band playing dance music every night.

Food and drink stalls will be open until dawn quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger after singing, dancing and partying.
