Dmitry Spirin - "Tarakany! - 35 Years" Tour

In 2026, the band "Tarakany!" would have marked its 35th anniversary, yet it ceased to exist in April 2022.

The band's dissolution did not lead to obscurity; on the contrary, its work gained even greater relevance during the war. Global streaming statistics—including in Russia, where some songs were censored—along with YouTube views of videos and interviews (both old and new) featuring Dmitry Spirin, indicate that interest in the band's work has not waned but continues to grow, and that their songs resonate perfectly with the times we live in.

Consequently, in 2026, Dmitry Spirin will embark on the "Tarakany! - 35 Years" tour.

The program planned for the anniversary tour will feature all of Tarakany!'s greatest hits. Songs from last year's repertoire—such as "Ya smotryu na nikh," "Tishina — eto smert," "Vlasteliny vselennoy," and "Samyy schastlivyy chelovek na Zemle"—will be joined by hits like "5 slov," "Meshki s kostyami," "To chto ne ubivayet tebya," "Dva po sto," and others.

Tarakany! anniversary concerts are always characterized by overwhelming energy, a sense of unity between the audience and the artists, and packed venues. And 2026 offers another chance to return—if only for a few hours—to the happy, old days from before the war. Yet, naturally, there will be no discussion of the war nor any performance of prophetic songs.
