According to the organizers, the event and its accompanying announcements will not go ahead on the initially announced date.

Meanwhile, the band’s activities in other cities continued to evolve. On March 15, a concert in Kirov was still on the schedule, with notices indicating an ongoing ability to attract audiences beyond Perm. This context suggested a broader regional tour plan that had to be re-timed in Perm while continuing to honor other engagements. (Source: tour calendar)
