DDT USA & Canada tour

Russian rock, born under the strict Soviet censorship and heavy restrictions, surviving the turbulent times of perestroika in the late '80s and early '90s, is unimaginable without the band DDT. The group has always held a special place in Russian music. Through Yuri Shevchuk's songs and the band’s powerful performances, one can trace the history of modern Russia during its sharp and unpredictable turns. DDT’s music is more than just songs; it is a chronicle of contemporary times, capturing the stories and soul of the nation. Over the years, the band’s musical style has evolved significantly, transitioning from rhythm and blues to jazz, folk, industrial, and indie music. Their lyrics, filled with deep philosophical insights, address pressing social issues, blending raw emotion with poetic expression. Throughout its long creative journey, DDT has released dozens of popular albums and toured extensively across Russia and the world with major conceptual concert programs. These programs often featured cutting-edge multimedia technologies. The band is also renowned for its original video works, created in collaboration with renowned directors and artists from Russia and abroad. DDT’s music often appears in films, and Yuri Shevchuk has published two poetry collections to date. The group is also deeply involved in charity work. No matter how complex or fragile the world may seem, Shevchuk's songs offer something universal to everyone, no matter where they live: truth, love, and hope. Perhaps this is what explains the band's phenomenal popularity over the decades.
