Concerts By The Pro-Putin Singer Shaman Have Been Canceled In Belarus

The performances were prepared over the course of an entire year.

In December 2025, the controversial Russian singer Shaman (Yaroslav Dronov) was scheduled to perform in regional centers across Belarus; however, for some reason, the concerts were postponed by a year. Now it turns out that the concerts won’t take place at all.

At the end of 2025, Shaman had planned a tour of Belarus. It was all set to begin with a performance at the Palace of the Republic in Minsk on November 1, 2025. The success was mixed: 80% of the tickets were sold, but administrative intervention was involved.
After Minsk, Shaman was supposed to travel to Brest, Grodno, and Gomel, but these concerts were rescheduled without explanation. New dates were set for the very end of the year—December 20, 21, and 23.

However, it was recently announced that these performances will not take place either: Ticketpro is already offering buyers refunds for their tickets. The ticketing service’s website explicitly states that the concert in Grodno, scheduled for December 21, has been canceled.
