40 Years from Ukraine to the World: Vopli Vidopliassova Returns to North America!

Get ready, North America — Vopli Vidopliassova (VV) is back! The legendary pioneers of Ukrainian rock are hitting the road in 2025 for a 14-city tour like no other, celebrating four decades of genre-bending music, cultural resistance, and revolutionary spirit.

Since bursting out of the Soviet underground in the '80s, VV has reshaped what it means to be a Ukrainian band on the world stage. Blending punk, folk, rock, and funk, they’ve created anthems that became the soundtrack of a nation — unforgettable hits like Vesna, Halia, Den Narodzhennia, Krayina Mriy, and Lyubov.

From Kyiv to the Montreux Jazz Festival. From WOMAD to Rock am Ring. From headlining Sziget to sharing stages with legends like Manu Chao, Khaled, and Eugene Hütz (Gogol Bordello) — VV has done it all. And they’re not done yet.

The 2025 North American tour is a musical celebration and a cultural statement. Each show features electrifying onstage collaborations with: Eugene Hütz Trio, Lemon Bucket Orkestra, Members of Hazmat Modine and The Klezmatics.

Expect raw energy, wild solos, soulful folk, and powerful calls for unity — all infused with that unmistakable VV fire.

In partnership with local Ukrainian charities and communities, every event serves as a rallying cry for cultural pride and humanitarian support.
100% of auction proceeds will benefit Ukraine via the Kraina Mriy Foundation.
