Ukrainian rock band Okean Elzy has announced that it will postpone its stadium concerts scheduled for 2024 in Ukraine to 2025. The musicians announced this on Instagram, noting that the decision was made due to the constant threat of russian missile strikes.

"Obviously, due to the constant threat of russian missile strikes, large-scale events at large open venues in 2024 are still prohibited in Ukraine. That is why, for security reasons, and most importantly, out of concern for each of us, our Ukrainian stadium concerts of the 2022 tour, which did not take place due to the full-scale russian invasion, are postponed to next year," the musicians said.

The band also announced updated concert dates, which will now take place in 2025. Among the cities where the performances are scheduled: Ternopil - 17.05.2025, Ivano-Frankivsk - 24.05.2025, Chernivtsi - 28.05.2025, Vinnytsia - 31.05.2025, Kropyvnytskyi - 03.06.2025, Dnipro - 07.06.2025, Kharkiv - 14.06.2025, Odesa - 21.06.2025 and Kyiv - 28.06.2025. All previously purchased tickets for the stadium concerts of the 2022 tour remain valid for the new dates.

The musicians also explained that the postponement of the concerts is not an announcement of a new tour, but only information about the postponement of already planned performances.

"This is not a new tour! This is information about the postponement of the 2022 tour concerts. If a city has not been announced for the first part of the 2022 tour, then it is not on the list," the artists added.

Okean Elzy is also currently working on a Ukrainian album, which will be released in the fall - on the band's 30th anniversary.
