The band returns to Kyiv for its biggest performance ever — the Olympic Stadium will hold 70,000 spectators. Special guests include former Okean Elzy lineups.
Lviv rock band Okean Elzy will celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of its founding with a concert at the Olympic Stadium on 5 August 2026. The performance will be the largest in the band's history — the arena's capacity is 70,000 spectators. The announcement was made via the artist's official channel and confirmed by Ukraine's Concert Industry Council. Sviatoslav Vakarchuk personally curated the programme: 'This isn't a nostalgia trip but a cross-section across thirty years — from "Tam de nas nema" from the 1996 studio sessions through "Sosny" and "Bez Boyu" to our most recent compositions. I want younger generations to hear how we started and how we evolved,' the frontman declared in the YouTube video version of the press conference. Former band members from various eras will join the stage — Yuriy Khustochka, Denys Hlinin, Petro Cherniavskyi, and Denys Dudko. Separately announced guests include Artur Daniyelyan, Juliya Sanina (The Hardkiss), and Tina Karol. The concert partners with the 'Holos Ditei' Charity Foundation — a portion of ticket-sale proceeds will go to psychological rehabilitation for children from front-line regions.
