Karaganda locals seek cancellation of Larissa Dolina's performance
Title: Latest Update on Larisa Dolina's Controversial Concert in Karaganda, Kazakhstan
It looks like the Russian singer Larisa Dolina is still set to make an appearance in Karaganda, but the local crowd is far from thrilled. The planned performance, part of her "Best of" tour, has sparked controversy, with accusations flying that the event organizers invited an artist who backs Russia's military actions in Ukraine.
The concert, scheduled for February 12, is reportedly set to take place at the Karaganda Concert Hall named after Kali Bayjanov. However, social media has been buzzing with critical posts against the event, prompting the concert hall to refute any connection with the artist's invitation.
In a statement, the Concert Hall emphasized that the advertisement circulating online contains misinformation about the venue and the organizers. The organizers of the event, commercial entities, are said to be responsible for its arrangement, and as of now, there's no legal document proving a venue agreement for Larisa Dolina's concert in Karaganda.
The organizers of Larisa Dolina's visit to Kazakhstan have also expressed that, due to the negative public sentiment, they have been refused the signing of the contract for the venue in Karaganda. Nevertheless, the organizers claim that the concert might still take place, with tickets yet to go on sale.
Curiously, the Karaganda Circus announced the concert's cancellation, while the event organizers insist it's premature to discuss cancellation and tickets haven't even officially been released yet. The organizers were coy about the source of the concert poster circulating online, claiming they had no idea about its origin.
It isn't just Karaganda where Larisa Dolina's concert is causing a ruckus. Reports suggest that a concert is planned for Ust-Kamenogorsk on February 15, but contacting the event organizers has proved futile due to a disconnected contact number. On Larisa Dolina's official website, only the planned performance in Kirov, Russia, is listed for 2023.
Larisa Dolina has openly supported Russia's military actions in Ukraine. She has even performed songs such as "Vstanem" with other Russian artists to support the Russia-Ukraine armed conflict. Last August, she entertained wounded Russian military personnel at the 32nd Central Military Maritime Clinical Hospital.
If you're keen to attend the concert, it's essential to buy tickets only from verified sellers to avoid getting scammed. Stay updated as you approach the event date for any last-minute changes, and if you already have tickets, keep them safe and be on the lookout for any communication from the event organizers.
