Vopli Vidopliassova — Ukrainian Rock Legends Live in DC!

Join us for an unforgettable night with the iconic band Vopli Vidopliassova (VV) — the world music icons and founders of Ukrainian rock. Blending folk, punk, and classic rock, this legendary group was the first to fill massive arenas with Ukrainian-language rock songs during the final years of the Soviet Union, igniting a cultural revolution through sound that inspired generations.

In this DC concert, VV is proud to partner with United Help Ukraine, a leading U.S.-based nonprofit delivering aid to those affected by the war in Ukraine. As part of VV’s 40th-anniversary tour, the partnership aims to raise funds for VV’s charity mission—supporting Misto Dobra, Ukraine’s largest shelter for women and children—and for UHU’s ongoing humanitarian aid efforts.

Led by the charismatic frontman Oleg Skrypka — a celebrated singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and founder of major Ukrainian music festivals — VV delivers a show bursting with energy, heart, and timeless hits that have defined generations. Language is no barrier when the rhythm takes over — get ready to dance, feel, and celebrate freedom through music!
