Controversial streamer Ivan Zolo will perform in Volgograd on March 15, 2026. His concerts in other cities have repeatedly been accompanied by fights, crushes, and vandalism.
The event will take place at Kultura Concert Hall at 18:00. Ticket prices range from 1,000 to 4,500 rubles (approximately $11 to $50 at current rates), with premium tickets including soundcheck, interaction with the artist, and a photo.
On the official tour website, the artist is presented as a «new-generation music artist, liker, TikToker, YouTuber, and future movie star.» It is also noted that his hits «Marabu,» «Altushka,» and «Viper» have garnered millions of streams, and a new album will be presented at the concerts.
Ivan Zolo«s real name is Ivan Zolochevsky. He gained fame in 2021 through collaborations with blogger Nekoglai (Nikolai Lebedev), against whom a criminal case was opened in 2023. During joint streams, Nekoglai mocked Ivan for his lack of knowledge of basic school subjects.
The streamer«s father, Sergei Zolochevsky, explained his son»s peculiarities by past surgeries.
«Perhaps Ivan is lagging behind [his peers]. He had two operations — they lifted his eyelid. Doctors warned that anesthesia would affect his psyche. That»s what happened,« he said. »He has a unique way of thinking. If it weren«t for these operations, he would be an ordinary person.»
After gaining popularity, Ivan Zolo began advertising casinos and online shops for banned substances. According to the blogger himself, the head of the League for Safe Internet, Ekaterina Mizulina, added him to the «register of unethical bloggers.»
Messages about bomb threats were sent in the streamer«s name. In one of them, an unknown person claimed to have planted 12 kilograms of explosives in a shopping center and Gumarak Airport (in Volgograd), explaining it as resentment towards Mizulina. The threat turned out to be false.
Previous concerts have seen incidents: in Sochi, cancellation due to a bomb threat led to attempts by the crowd to break into the venue; in Kemerovo, a crush and broken glass caused injuries; in Yaroslavl, medical assistance was required due to stuffiness, and after the performance, an attack on a teenager was registered.
