Bi-2 in Belgrade on October 20 - The Russian Rock Legends Bring Their World Tour Journey Around the Sun to Hangar Luka

Bi-2 is coming to Belgrade for a concert at Hangar Luka Belgrade on Tuesday, October 20 at 20:00 - part of their world tour "Journey Around the Sun" 2026-2027 and the presentation of their new album. The Russian rock band is one of the most successful and longest-running formations of post-Soviet rock, and their Belgrade show is one of the biggest rock concerts of the autumn season.

Bi-2 was formed in 1988 in Babruysk in Belarus by Aleksandr "Shura" Uman and Yegor "Lyova" Bortnik - two teenagers and amateur actors at the time. In the early 1990s the pair moved to Israel and gained citizenship there, then in 1993 Shura went to Australia while Lyova stayed and served in the IDF. They recorded albums by exchanging files over the internet and telephone. In 1999 they returned together to Russia, and the breakthrough came in 2000 with songs for Aleksei Balabanov's film "Brat 2" - "Polkovniku Niko Ne Piše" and "Varvara" became definitive hits of the Russian rock generation.

In 2007 Bi-2 was named best rock act at MTV Russia, and their shelf also includes ZD Awards and prizes from World Music Awards. After leaving Russia at the start of the invasion of Ukraine, the band tours in emigration, and their concerts in recent years across Europe pull together former compatriots from every wave of Russian emigration - a kind of diaspora reunion built around the same songs that once played everywhere from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok.

Tickets are sold through tickets.rs. Doors at 19:00, start at 20:00 at Hangar Luka Belgrade - one of the largest concert halls in Belgrade, with a capacity of over 5,000.
