Russia - St. Petersburg 6 June, Moscow 7 June

Making a new thread, 'cause next shows will be in our cold warm (29 degrees in Moscow now!) country.
I will keep you informed about both gigs.

Welcome video from Tom & Ed:

Only a few short days away - glinting much?

Cyrillyc "Hold Tight %CITY_NAME%"!! Wow!



My friends in St. Petersburg just came from gig. They say it was incredible, and the crowd was very friendly.

I keep seeing ‘flare ring’ footage posted on social media.    That must’ve been crazy to see in person!

America: GLOWRUPTION!

Russia: FLARE CIRCLE!!!

lol

So, you couldn't go, Explud? You going to the Moscow gig, though, right?

Yup, i'm going only for Moscow gig today.

Have a friggin heck of a blast tonight, Explud, and do the furniture dance!

That was awesome and astonishing! Report and hi-res photos tomorrow.

Awesome! Can’t wait to see and read about it! 

There's some good footage out there






OMG, that Moscow Reel intro is mesmerizing. 

TPPR Intro with the Wonders of the Deep vocal sample. Nice!

these videos are excellent, so clean

I'm really busy this weekend to make a review of gig, will do it later! But... Most important question in my head.. Why did Tom is coming to Ed to say something at the beginning of Swoon every gig?! As i remember, he didn't do that in 2015 when Adam was on tour.

That flare circle is crazy. I highly doubt something like that could be done successfully here in America. And if it did, I would imagine they would have shut the show down immediately as a safety risk.

Hats off to Russia for creating such a cool moment and maintaining their chill.

It is impossible to do in Moscow, too!

I'm really don’t know how they did it in St. Petersburg, but at events in Moscow there is very strict control, we couldn’t even get carry drinks at Chems gig, what to say about flares.

Perhaps this is even the lack of security at this arena, in this case.

I would imagine they would have shut the show down immediately as a safety risk.

When i was last year at The Prodigy gig, there was an big announcement to not bring the flares, or show will immediately will shut down.
And Maxim Reality shouted every 15 minutes: "No fucking flares, oh my people.."

Can you tell me at what mark I can find the flare circle, please?

^1:00:41 on the St Petersburg video

there was close up footage of the circle on social media too

Thanks, Bosco! I must have mistaken it for the regular lightshow
