Concert of Okean Elzy: how was it?

TheKharkivTimes editorial staff attended the concert of Ukrainian group Okean Elzy as part of the World Tour at Kharkiv’s Metalist stadium.

The concert began an hour later than scheduled and lasted more than 3 hours. Musicians performed 30 songs and three times went for encores. The group performed old hits as well as songs from their new album Bez Mezh (Without limits).

The leader of Ukrainian rock band Svyatoslav Vakarchuk dedicated the song Everest to Nadezhda Savchenko, who returned from imprisonment from Russia recently.

“I rarely write letters. I was not sure that the person to whom I am writing, would read it. But I really wanted to write these words before they will be heard by others” explained the singer.

Another song was dedicated to Kuzma Skryabin (Ukrainian singer, who died in 2015). More than 50,000 lights were lit under the words: “Someone flys to the sky, and someone stays.”

(Thank Kharkiv! You were incredible today!)

“Ocean of the fans,” raged and sang songs with the band.

In addition, in the network appeared photos of the concert with a bird’s-eye view.
