Bi-2's defiant 2026 tour electrifies fans from Armenia to Poland
Russian rock band Bi-2 has continued its international tour since leaving Russia in 2022. The group, known for its opposition to the war in Ukraine, recently performed across Armenia, Ireland, and Poland. Their latest shows drew large crowds, reinforcing their global fanbase.
The band kicked off their March 2026 tour with two back-to-back concerts in Armenia. On March 13, they played at the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory in Byurakan, followed by a show at Yerevan's Karen Demirtchian Sport & Concert Complex the next day. A week later, they took the stage at Ireland's TLT Theatre in Drogheda on March 20.
Their Polish leg began in April, starting with a performance at Hala Orbita in Wrocław on April 10. Two days later, they played Klub Wytwornia in Łódź, then Klub Studio in Krakow on April 13. The tour wrapped up in Gdańsk at Stary Maneż on April 15.
Bi-2's vocal stance against Russia's invasion of Ukraine has shaped their public image. Both founding members, Alexander Uman (Shura) and Yegor Bortnik (Lyova), are Belarusian. During travel, Shura once shared an airport shuttle with Belarusian opposition figure Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.
Bi-2's recent performances mark their ongoing presence outside Russia. The band's schedule highlights their ability to attract audiences across Europe. Their political position and international reach continue to define their career post-2022.
