The concert took place in a magical open-air theatre... and was sold out long before the show! The things is that the band is very famous in Azerbaijan: as soon as fans have been informed of the event, they were in a rush to buy tickets. The love story between O.E. and Azerbaijanis is an old story!

Within the first minutes of the show, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk's contact with the audience worked well. The audience stood up immediately and sang with the band on Okean Elzy music.

'We are pleased to be in the wonderful Baku City. Thanks for the invitation and your hospitality. Thank you, Azerbaijan, for supporting us. We need this and it is important for us, especially at this time' said Vakarchuk as he saw a lot of Ukrainian flags in the Zeleni Theatre.   

Slava also sang with Dilara Kazimova a beautiful version of 'Suzy'. This was a magical moment.

Dilara took part in the Eurovision Song Contest this year, representing Azerbaijan... and Slava was her coach during the famous TV show 'Голос Країни' - 'The Voice Ukraine'. No need to say that Slava and Dilara know one other vey well! 

During the show, the audience applauded every song and many fans were singing with Slava. This concert will leave in the hearts and memories some inexpressible words, feelings and emotions.
