RED ROCKS TOUR and Sochi 2014 Cultural Olympiad in Kaliningrad

On September 15 Kaliningrad was visited by RED ROCKS TOUR, held under the auspices of the Sochi 2014 Cultural Olympiad and supported by Sberbank. The concert’s headliners are the world’s disco scene stars Scissor Sisters. The concert in Kaliningrad was the anniversary one, the 20th in succession.

The anniversary RED ROCKS TOUR in Kaliningrad was opened by the trio from Moscow EVERYTHING IS MADE IN CHINA, which performed a mix of indie rock, post-rock, shoegazing and ambient.

After a one-hour live performance the Togliatti-Moscow hipsters ON-THE-GO, who are well-known to capital and club public, stepped in. The guys played their signature vibrant dance rock with the elements of indie.

The band TOKiO was third to step into the scene. Much to everyone's delight the hits “Kogda ty plachesh,” “My budem vmeste,” “Serdtse” and a surprise, the brand new track “Ritm” were performed. The Kaliningrad spectators were lucky as that song can be heard only live so far - it will be included in the TOKiO’s future album.

In between live performances DJs Subwave and Modular played their own sets, and the presenter was VJ Chuck.

The headliners, American disco stars Scissor Sisters performed in the final with the applauses of over seven thousand spectators. This year the New York artists performed at the RED ROCKS festival in Krasnaya Polyana and gleefully agreed to take part in the RED ROCKS TOUR. The artists performed all hits in one breath, among them “Let`s Have A Kiki,” “Invisible Light,” “Any Which Way” and “I Don`t Feel Like Dancin`,” taking a break only to thank the audience.

The RED ROCKS TOUR ends this year, but we’re sure this is only the beginning of a great musical history. Even today everyone can take part in the sound recording for the main tune of the Sochi Games, the Anthem of Fans. We’ve amassed over one thousand sounds throughout the tour which are available on our website even now - said the tour’s organizers.

The concert in Kaliningrad finalized the RED ROCKS TOUR 2012. After that the tour will go on vacation so as to return again in the next spring. But the work on other RED ROCKS projects is going on.
