2015 is supposed to be "a kind of year off" for Okean Elzy. I am saying "a kind of" because:
  • The band should record soon a new album;
  • O.E. will perform some concerts in the USA in February / March;
  • Svyatoslav Vakarchuk will be on tour in Ukraine during the month of March, raising funds for his fundation "Люди майбутнього - People of the future"...
  • ... but I think this is just a beginning as there is always something new with Okean Elzy! :)
Anyway, this means that there will be no Okean Elzy concert in Ukraine in 2015... for the first time since many years! But fans will have the pleasure to discover soon Okean Elzy backstage with the movie "OE.20 Live in Kyiv".

"There will be many music and songs in this movie, but it won't be like a conventional movie about a concert. Our purpose is different: I wanted to know /show more about the band leader, to learn all the secrets of his works, to show the man he is and to stay as close as possible to reality - says director of the film, Mr. Bukovsky. Of course, the events that take place in our country will be shown in the movie... Anyway it's a portrait of generation and of the time in which we are living in -  and you can't choose it... The public will decide if our work is a success: I hope that we won't disappoint them."
