“As always, I will wear a mask. My driver and my sons will wear masks too. (…) I will go on stage and wipe down a microphone. After the show, I will put on my mask again and drive home by car. I won’t go to a dressing room and keep distance from everyone,” assured the singer.
According to the musician, the concert rehearsal will take place on the evening of 8 May. However, the concert will not have the presidential orchestra, which traditionlly accompany the performers on the Victory Day.
There will be orchestra chairs for 500 seats in the central part of the square, and about 3,000 seats for spectators around the monument. A pyrotechnic show is planned to take place right after the concert at 11 pm.
