Green Day And Other Artistes Cancel Tour In War Torn Russia And Ukraine

Since Russian powers attacked Ukraine, numerous people, and organisations have come together to challenge the action. That incorporates craftsmen who planned to perform in Russia. Green Day had planned to play Moscow’s Spartak Stadium in May as part of their Hella Mega Tour. On Sunday, the band reported on its confirmed Instagram account that it was cancelling.

“We are aware that this moment is not about stadium rock shows, it’s so much bigger than that,” their posted statement read. “But we also know that rock and roll is forever and we feel confident there will be a time and a place for us to return in the future. Refunds are available at the point of purchase. Stay safe.”

They further stated, “We are sad to announce that we will be cancelling our upcoming show in Russia,” the group, made up of brothers Adam, Jack and Ryan Met, tweeted. “Thank you to our Russian fans who oppose their country’s unprovoked and criminal behaviour. Our hearts are with the people of Ukraine. At this point, the best thing you can do is share ACCURATE info.” 

Green Day is one of the artistes that have cancelled their scheduled tour. 

Yungblud, a British artist, in a released statement Monday said that he will not be performing in Russia this summer.

“I’m heartbroken to announce I will be cancelling my Russian shows scheduled for this summer,” the statement read. “Heartbroken because I know the vicious and brutal acts of the Russian regime in Ukraine over the past week do not reflect the attitudes and ideals of the beautiful people who I have met in Russia in the past!”

Former One Direction band member, Loius Tomlinson, had scheduled arrangements in both Moscow and Kyiv’s Stereo Square in Ukraine in July as a portion of his 2022 world tour. On Monday, he tweeted that the concerts would not be happening.

With the recent invasion by Russia into Ukraine, the destination has become a threat to life, causing people to leave and Russia raking in sanctions.
