Twenty One Pilots are the latest band to cancel their upcoming Moscow show.
The news follows the Putin-led invasion of Ukraine, which has prompted a multitude of acts to pull their dates in the region.
In a statement posted online, the band write: “Due to the current tragic events, it is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of our Moscow show. This news feels insignificant given the gravity of what is happening. Peace will win and we hope for a time we can visit you again. We stand with Ukraine.”
They were due to play the capital’s Otkritie Arena on 10th July 2022.
