The key facts
- The concert in Minsk on November 7 started almost an hour late and, according to varying audience accounts, lasted from 40 minutes to an hour instead of two hours
- Attendees claim some songs were performed to a backing track and that Viktorov was seen staggering before the show; shortly before the artist came out, ambulance medics went backstage
- The band still has seven concerts ahead on its Russian tour; in July 2026 the artist's team explained the incident in Yekaterinburg by the actions of strangers in the dressing room
What happened at the concert in Minsk
The Russian rock band Tri Dnya Dozhdya (Three Days of Rain) performed on November 7 at the Sports Palace in Minsk, and the performance once again turned into a scandal. Life.ru reported on the audience complaints citing SHOT, and Gazeta.Ru citing the Telegram channel Baza. According to eyewitnesses, the start of the show was delayed by almost an hour: first the audience waited for about 50 minutes with no explanation given, then another ten minutes — allegedly due to technical problems. Some attendees say they saw ambulance medics going backstage shortly before frontman Gleb Viktorov came out; why they were called is unknown.
Audience complaints
Fans say the artist was staggering, made strange sounds and barely performed the songs himself — some tracks, they claim, were sung to a backing track. The reports differ in details: Life.ru writes that instead of the expected two hours, the musicians spent about 40 minutes on stage and performed fewer than ten songs, while Gazeta.Ru, citing Baza, says the show was cut from two hours to one. According to Baza, 'Viktorov started running around the stage, security caught him and took him backstage,' after which the audience left without waiting for his return; Life.ru readers, on the contrary, write that the concert ended so unexpectedly that not everyone realized it right away. Some spectators suggest the musician may have been intoxicated and are discussing filing a collective complaint with the police. Those who came from other cities and countries expressed particular dissatisfaction: tickets cost from four to eight thousand rubles, and some had been saving for the trip for months.
Past incidents and what comes next
Similar incidents involving Viktorov have happened before: in June 2023 he ruined a performance in Yekaterinburg by falling right on stage, and in July 2026 in the same city the vocalist forgot lyrics, missed notes and was unsteady on his feet. At the time, representatives of the label said the artist had been hospitalized and offered their own version: the strange behavior was 'the result of the irresponsible work of security', which had let strangers into the dressing room who allegedly drugged the performer; the team apologized and said that information about the suspects had been passed to the police. However, the reports about the Minsk concert contain no explanation from the artist or his team so far — only the audience's position is known. According to Gazeta.Ru, the band is currently on a tour across Russia, and seven more concerts are scheduled.
