The Red Stars are returning to their roots with a high-energy tribute to the legends of Russian music.

Now, they’re bringing that same raw, electric energy to The Pearl’s stage for a full-throttle concert experience, blasting the greatest Russian anthems from Ruki Vverkh, Leningrad, Zemfira, Kino, Mumiy Troll, Korol i Shut, Valery Meladze and more icons of Russian rock and pop history.

Whether you’re Russian or just a wild-hearted music lover, this is your night to scream “Davai! Davai!” and party like it’s 1989.
