We hit rock bottom. The band 5'Nizza announced a concert in Russian and angered the network.


The Ukrainian band 5'Nizza decided to organize a tour in several cities in Europe. The announcement was made in Russian, which caused outrage among Ukrainians. A video of the tour announcement was published on the band's Instagram page, where Serhiy Babkin plays guitar and Andriy Zaporozhets sings. It is noted that the band will perform in Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Valencia, and Frankfurt from February 9 to 16.
The band 5'Nizza, whose members include musicians from Kharkiv Serhiy Babkin and Andriy Zaporozhets, got into a scandal.
Ukrainians expressed their surprise in the comments at such an invitation to a concert and called on the artists to represent themselves as Russian performers rather than as Ukrainian. They noted that the band continues to promote Russian culture despite the conflict in Eastern Ukraine. Earlier, 5'Nizza collaborated with a Russian promoter to organize concerts abroad.
According to the editor of LiRoom, Serhiy Babkin, performing abroad, sings the band's hits in Russian as there is no large demand for Ukrainian creativity. This has drawn criticism from the community and reflects the singer's thoughtlessness.
