Even after eighteen intense years of bouncing, bellowing and soul-baring your way to the top, some successes strike when you’re not looking. While The Wombats were hard at work remotely constructing their fifth album Fix Yourself, Not The World from LA, London and Oslo, a new generation of TikTokers were sending the band viral by making over 600,000 videos – some viewed over 100 million times – around the opening lines of the Oliver Nelson remix of their 2015 Glitterbug album track ‘Greek Tragedy’: “We’re smashing mics in karaoke bars, you’re running late with half your make-up on”. “I think one influencer made a video of her dancing, singing the opening, and then it took off and every man and his dog were doing it,” says singer Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy of a viral breakout that has seen the remix streamed 30 million times, the original track 120 million (sending it gold in the US) and add 2.4 million to their monthly Spotify listeners since January 2021. “Someone sent me Charlie Puth singing it like whilst having some granola. I guess people were searching ‘what is this song?’ It turned out that remix was on some Hed Kandi compilation [Dusk ‘Til Disco, 2015] and that was the only outlet for it. It's cool that random celebrities are singing the opening lines to something I wrote a long time ago, it’s great that it’s doing well but it's just completely random.” The success of the ‘Greek Tragedy’ remix is further illustration, if any were needed, of The Wombats’ ability to remain relevant to new generations of fans through the timeless power of their songwriting alone. Formed at the Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts in 2003, they were the three-headed guitar pop sensation – Murph, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis - that erupted out of Merseyside with Top Twenty hits like ‘Let’s Dance To Joy Division’ and ‘Moving To New York’ during the late-‘00s indie rock explosion, stamped their mark on the era with 2007’s fervidly melodic debut album A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation, and then transcended it. By 2011’s This Modern Glitch (a UK Number 3 hit) and 2015’s Glitterbug (Number 5) they’d easily hurdled the shift to streaming and become a playlist phenomenon thanks to tracks such as ‘Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)’, ‘Techno Fan’, ‘1996’, ‘Emoticons’ and their online secret weapon ‘Greek Tragedy’. Murph’s magnificent way with melding deeply infectious melodies with dark, wry and surreal confessions from his fractured psyche and shame-filled romantic history – combined with the band’s gradual embrace of the synthetic tones and textures of modern pop – endeared them to new waves of young streaming fans (over half are under 24) and has seen their popularity continually expand. Their sets at festivals such as Reading & Leeds would draw the biggest crowd flockings of the entire weekend, and the UK tour for 2018’s Top 3, silver-certified fourth album Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life (home of ‘Turn’, ‘Cheetah Tongue’ and post-row domestic confessional ‘Lemon To A Knife Fight’ and currently nudging 300 million streams) culminated in a celebratory show at Wembley Arena, complete with dancing wombats. “Top five gig ever,” Murph remembers, “I’m very proud that we’ve stuck in like some dirty little warthogs. It hasn't been the easiest road but we've always kept our focus and it's paying off…I thought it was gonna stay in that mid-2000s indie rock phase forever and then swarms of younger people are now getting into the band and finding the older stuff.” Testament to the strength of your songwriting? “I think for me it's a combination of hard work and that lyrically and musically we've always done what we like. I've never tried to tone it down for any commercial gain. I like weird, odd lyrics, crazy titles or strange concepts for songs. I struggle to write songs that come from more of an accessible or blander place.” Not a band averse to internal frictions, The Wombats took a well-earned break after the Beautiful People tour wrapped up at Reading & Leeds 2019 and reconvened early in 2020, first as a group at Murph’s home studio in LA where a “bedrock” of four or five songs came together, then working and recording remotely throughout 2020 once lockdown hit, marshalled by a variety of producers including Jacknife Lee, Gabe Simon (Dua Lipa, Lana Del Rey), Paul Meaney (Twenty One Pilots, Nothing But Thieves) and regular Wombats desk-man Mark Crew. “The plan before we started was David Byrne - a decent amount of brass going on - meets LCD Soundsystem,” Murph says of the album’s intended direction. “All I had in the back of my head was to keep it real and as organic as possible and not throw the kitchen sink at it. Then we ended up throwing the kitchen sink at it. Somehow the kitchen sink just appears no matter how much I’d like it to disappear. It's great, but we’ve absolutely lobbed everything at it again.” With Murph in Highland Park in Los Angeles, Tord in Oslo and Dan in London, discussing each day’s plan via Zoom, then recording separately and sending individual files to the producers to mix into the finished tracks, the recording was “pure madness, to be honest. Dan and Tord can be like fire and ice and the fact that I was away and disconnected made things madder than they needed to be. I wouldn't recommend it.” The Wombats have the bond and experience to power through such setbacks however; Fix Yourself, Not The World turned out to be a remarkably cohesive, inventive and forward-thinking guitar pop record, and arguably their best yet. Incorporating cutting edge electronica, pop and R&B elements into the melodic energies of classic new wave, alt-rock and indietronica, it’s a record that will appeal equally to fans of Talking Heads, New Order, The Cure and Charli XCX. It also finds Murph turning a psychological corner: where Beautiful People… was full of semi-comic stories from the brink, or the midst, of meltdown, Fix Yourself, Not The World – as its title suggests – reads more like a self-help manual for the domesticated malcontent. “The pandemic and all the social upheaval massively influenced the idea that the most powerful thing I can do as a human being is to shake my fist at myself rather than shake my fist at the outside world,” Murph explains. “There was this Jungian theory about if you change something within yourself or your actions, you immediately change something in society as a whole.” Throughout the album, there’s a whole lot of fixing going on. The trash disco funk punk of ‘You Flip Me Upside Down’ – set in James Murphy’s Brooklyn wine bar The Four Horsemen, if not one of his catchiest fever dreams – has Murph admitting “I don’t wanna sit around and just get high” as the hedonistic life loses its lustre in the head-clearing rush of fresh love: “It’s aware that the party scene is not gonna be as fulfilling as I may have thought it was in the past,” Murph says. On ‘This Car Drives All By Itself’, a melting pot of space pop, acid house, The Tom Tom Club, ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’ and gang chant punk, he repurposes the concept of the self-driving vehicle as a topical metaphor for coming to terms with humanity’s helplessness. “I thought that that was a great way of saying, we row but the universe steers,” he says. “We're not in control as much we think and I want to learn to be okay with that.” Where Beautiful People… spotlit the plate-flinging paranoias behind marital bliss, Fix Yourself… focusses more on the transformative release of romantic commitment. ‘Wildfire’ is a heat-hazy tribute to his wife, ‘If You Ever Leave, I’m Coming With You’ an electropop ode to obsessive devotion, ‘Ready For The High’ a sultry buzz rock note-to-self to accept the good times now they’re here. Portishead-esque ballad and first release ‘Method To The Madness’ pinpoints his honeymoon in Barcelona as the breakthrough moment when Murph decided to dump his demons and “fuck my sadness”, and even a song called ‘Everything I Love Is Going To Die’ is an upbeat New Order/Cure homage about trying to live to the fullest while we still can. “Icarus was my best friend,” Murph sings, “so I’m gonna make him proud in the end”. “I’m maybe learning to start not beating myself up so much,” Murph says. “There’s only a finite amount of time that we have in these ridiculous vessels of ours and we should try to enjoy it. The whole album is kind of about not trying to control anything but just completely letting go.” Well, not completely. Dotted with snippets of Murph discussing the everyday niggles and irritations that drive him to distraction, ‘Worry’ details the superstitions, paranoias and idiosyncrasies tormenting him daily, from needing everything to be in multiples of three to an irrational fear of mariticide. “It’s supposed to be inside the head of someone who’s losing it a bit,” he explains. And the space rock ‘Work Is Easy, Life Is Hard’ finds just as much fear and confusion in the bark of the online attack dog. “It’s about cancel culture,” Murph says of pointed lines like “why don’t you chop my tongue out?” and “you don’t speak for me”. “The toxicity of social media. One of my friends said there’s no room for nuance in anyone’s opinions or views on the world, you’re either with us or you’re against us. I think people are sucked into a vortex of pretty bad ideologies when I feel like wouldn’t it be nice if we formed our own ideology individually and talked about them properly, rather than shoving them down people’s necks or cancelling people for not agreeing with us? Where is the conversation, because it’s not gonna progress anywhere without being able to talk to one another intelligently. Maybe the things you’re talking about are far, far, far too complex to be put in 280 characters.” The Wombats, on the other hand, are becoming pan-generational masters at weaving the complexities of the everyday struggle to stay sane, happy and psychosis-free into forty-five minutes of exuberant future rock, as ever more young streamers are discovering in their millions. As their unstoppable ascent continues, next year they headline London’s O2 Arena. Ready for another high?

Hailing from Liverpool, England, UK, Indie rock outfit, The Wombats, impressed with their first spate of singles, scoring hits with "Moving to New York" and "Let;s Dance to Joy Division."

The band were formed in 2003, having met whilst studying at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. Featuring Matthew Murphy (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), Daniel Haggis (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Tord Øverland Knudsen (bass, guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), the band quickly got to work making music, They released several Eps in their early years, including "The Hangover Sessions," "No. 3" and "The Daring Adventures of Sgt. Wimbo and His Pet Otter."

After releasing their debut, "Girls, Boys and Marsupials," in Japan only, they then released a number of singles that would bring The Wombats their first taste of success. "Backfire at the Disco" peaked at number 35 in the UK SIngles Chart, followed by "Kill the Director" which also received lots of airplay. Their debut album on 14th Floor Records, "The Wombats Proudly Present: A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation," stormed the album charts, reaching number 11 in October 2007, bolstered by the success of singles "Let's Dance to Joy Division" and a re-release of "Moving to New York," which went to number 13 in the UK Singles Chart.

In 2008, the band embarked on a number of tours, traveling across the UK, Europe and Japan. They also became a big name on the annual festival circuit, playing at Glastonbury Festival, Reading & Leeds Festival and T in the Park.Their second album, "The Wombats Present… This Modern Glitch," appeared in 2010, featuring the top 40 single "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)" as well as "Techno Fan." The album itself faired well, reaching number three in the album chart.

It was three years before The Wombats returned with new music, releasing the single, "Your Body Is a Weapon," which received significant support on BBC Radio 1. To great excitement, The Wombats began a countdown till the release of their third studio album, "Glitterbug," for a January 2015 release.

Live reviews

Oh my goodness!

It's the twelve of April on a sunny day. Me and my friend just arrived in vienna at the "Arena Wien". We hadn't seen a Wombats concert before and were something you could describe as very excited. The two pre-bands play their songs and already amaze us! (good job you guys!) Everyone is ready for The Wombats and as soon as the lights turn off everyone screams. The three guys from the band come on sage and start with their first song "Cheetha Tongue". The songs really pushes the crowd and we start making these little moves everyone makes when you are a bit unsecure but definetly hyped. This reserve doesn't hold very long and as soon as the second song starts (a song from an older album) really every person is jumping ,dancing. During the whole set Tord is moving arund the sage completly lost in the music showing that he's made for exactly this job. Murph is killing every high note and low note sings every song as if it's historischen favourite. And even Dan in the back seems to be jumping around on his drumms. Even when something isn't working with Murphs guitar during "Emoticons" these guys are super chill and Tord and Dan calmly play along with the crowd as we keep singing the "Ohhh" part over and over again. It got better with every song and I swear that the whole crowd felt like they had run a marathon from all the dancing! Especially after " Let's dance to Joy Division" and we all had gone completly crazy!

So in two sentences for the people who don't want to read that long paragraph above and just scrolled down here: It was AMAZING and I recommend to not dress with warm cloths because at least in my venue it was HOT after the first song had started and we all were dancing like crazy! If you are a Wombats fan I'd say you are dumb if you aren't going to a concert even though you have the chance to and that without meaning to be mean!

Report as inappropriate

of 8 concerts this year , the bomwats was by far the best. riverstage has been crowned my favourite venue and was a perfect environment for their music , and matt’s voice is almost better live than in recorded tracks. the visuals were wild , with the backdrop thingy changing to suit every song perfectly and for a final song that drove the crowd insane , greek tragedy had everyone shouting the lyrics and a lot of people on shoulders , and even saw four or five people in wombat costumes come and dance on stage. the people i met were probably the nicest and most caring bunch i’ve been surrounded by so far and if the crowd had been any different it would have taken away from the overall satisfaction. played every song i had been dying to hear and the order of songs from the set was crafted with such intelligence that everything flowed so perfectly from one song to the next. support acts were amazing and so friendly , coming up to the merch tent for photos and just to chat and all the artists seemed genuinely happy to be a part of this. even following up with another concert the next day , nothing could top the wombats and i highly recommend seeing them more than once if you have the chance ! x

I first got into The Wombats after perusing the Top Forty and finding their latest single 'Tokyo (Vampires and Wolves) quite high on the charts. I was intrigued by the incredible album artwork, and instantly fell in love with their alternative, punky tunes. Three months later, my parents gave me permission to go to my first concert. I instantly thought of my new favourite band, and booked tickets to go with a couple of friends to see The Wombats. Fastforward to February 22nd 2012. I saw them at the O2 Academy Brixton, a large but popular venue that never fails to provide the right atmosphere for a show. The Wombats did not fail to deliver either. They played for over two hours, and all of it was explosive. They played the entirety of 'This Modern Glitch' (complete with lasers and confetti) as well as their most popular tunes from 'Love, Loss and Desperation', ending with the classic 'Let's Dance to Joy Division." Of course, not only was there a stellar performance, but their interaction with the crowd was impeccable. With Murph constantly ordering for another 'wall of death' and Tord crowd-surfing, The Wombats do not disappoint, and most certainly is not a band to miss.

Liverpudlian four piece The Wombats have amassed a huge following of their infectious indie rock over the years after they emerged as a driving force of the indie revival of the mid 00's. Their energetic performance was something that made this group stand out about the rest and the devotion to a live show is still packing out venues years later.

Although they only have two albums of material, the boys have crafted a setlist that is utter party. From the early single 'Kill The Director' an indie anthem in its own right, the crowd dance and jump along as both the band and crowd try and outdo each other with energy levels. The big cheers are reserved for 'Moving To New York' which is barked back word perfectly by the entire audience as the boys tear through this jumped up piece of pop/rock.

What The Wombats have is technical guitar music which you can dance to, a difficult sound to achieve. Closing track 'Tokyo' sees the band play complex instrumental with ferocious intensity yet the track is also so danceable that the crowd is lost within the music.

The Wombats were drop dead amazing!!! I can't even describe in words how much of a fun time I had. Their performance was just super passionate and awesome... Totally a band worth watching live. I loved their energy and how they even interacted with the audience. I felt like the usual two-hour long time frame for a concert wasn't enough for us. Went by way too fast.

Now to speak of the venue, it had its ups and downs. The good thing was that it was very clean and well maintained, easy to find, and parking wasn't too bad. The interior was really cool too. Since it was general admission, it was on a first come first serve basis to find spots. The extremely annoying part was that rude people would squeeze through and stand in people's way, blocking our original view. I think bouncers should keep their eyes out and do something about people like that. It was super rude and irritating.

They're amazing, that's honestly the best way to describe them.

They've always hyped the crowd up with so many things. Tord for example was basically jumping around playing his guitar all the time and barely stood still - when he stood still it was just to sing into his mic.

Between the songs Matthew either told some stories, introduced to the next song in a really interesting and partially comedic way - not just a boring "and the next song we're playing is ..." or just told some stories - in my case it was about how much they liked Munich - honestly LOVED that.

And now to the most important thing - their performance was straight awesome. They sounded so much better live than in their records in my opinion

That concert absolutely made my night yesterday and honestly can't wait to see the Wombats live again - hopefully soon

The Wombats are high-energy and tons of fun on stage. The lead singer is passionate and sounds just like the album live. The bassist dances around and keeps the crowd engaged. The music was perfect, they even had some moments of pure rocking out that were (seemingly) unscripted and in sync. The crowd was singing and dancing the whole time, you could tell there were plenty of true fans in the audience because there was no song that everyone couldn't sing along to.

The openers, Cheerleader and Life in Film were also really good and fit the feel of The Wombats. Cheerleader even came out after to sign autographs and take pictures, their engagement with the fans is what makes them stand out and a band to keep an eye on.

My second time seeing them - The Wombats put on a great show!

The crowd really gets into it although I have to say that the band, especially Matt, looked a bit tired compared to the last time I saw them. Might be that they're near the end of a US tour? They played both new and older stuff closing the encore with Lets Dance to Joy Division and then an instrumental, almost hardcore piece that seemed a bit out of place for them but was, actually, really good. The one thing they missed that I wished they had played was My First Wedding. But, I guess that's the luck of the draw.

Still, it's a high energy show that I loved and would love to see again!!!!

This concert was amazing. By far the best one I have been too. And the venue was incredible. So intimate. It felt like the band was sitting on your lap. The supporting bands were great and they owned the stage with their crazy moves. And the wombats were incredibly they were funny and spoke to the crowd as if we knew eachother. Their stage presence was amazing. They flaunted their guitar moves around the stage. The lights the animations and the props! Yes. They had props. Suddenly baloons flew out on stage and the mosh pit ate them up. Oh and the finishing song. Suddenly people in wombats costumes strutted in the stage. Overall INCREDIBLE NIGHT!

The Wombats at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro, NC, Jan 15, 2018

Excellent sold out show. This is my 3rd Wombats' tour and it was great to see a mix of ages in the crowd and lots of enthusiasm. It was cool to be singing along with the teenager next to me. The setlist was evenly distributed between all 4 albums—and I appreciated this. All the songs were good, sound was excellent and they always bring the enthusiasm to their live shows. While I think the newer songs are a little overproduced, live they are great a little rougher and raucous. The only sad thing is that this will probably be the last time I get to see this band in a club.

Taylor Swift kicks off European tour in Paris with setlist changes

Taylor Swift fans from North America are going the extra mile — literally.

The pop star kicked off the 18-city European leg of her “Eras Tour” on Thursday in Paris, where she was joined in the París La Défense Arena by thousands of American Swifties who flew overseas to see her.

Thursday’s concert introduced a new setlist that reordered certain eras — including by moving “Red” up to earlier in the night — and combining the “Evermore” and “Folklore” eras, according to social media users who posted from the concert. She also performed songs from “ The Tortured Poets Department ” for the first time .

More than a quarter of tickets for the four Paris shows this weekend were purchased by Americans, according to Frédéric Longuépée, CEO of the París La Défense Arena. Tickets for the venue’s shows all sold in under an hour, he added.

“To the best of my understanding, a lot of Americans chose to come to Paris to attend this show and obviously visit our beautiful city,” said Longuépée, who estimated “something like 25–30%” of the crowd would be Americans, “which is big.”

Kennedy Smith, 21, skipped her college graduation to fly with her mother, Kathleen Smith, 56, from Texas to Paris to attend Swift’s concert instead.

Kathleen Smith said getting to see the singer was “nothing short of a miracle” — the pair stayed up all night in hopes of securing tickets, which cost them around $1,500 each. The two were first in line Wednesday to purchase merchandise at the venue, walking away with two bags full of Swift-themed gear.

Her daughter called the experience the “trip of a lifetime.”

“This is my graduation-from-college gift at Texas A&M,” she said. “And I’ve always wanted to come to Europe. ... And then to be seeing Taylor Swift, it’s just a dream come true.”

Securing tickets for the North American “Eras Tour” initially proved so difficult that the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing criticizing Ticketmaster’s “monopoly” after the platform canceled ticket presales in November 2022 amid overwhelming demand.

Some fans had reported that their invite codes failed to work, while others said they abruptly lost the tickets they had already placed in their cart. The chaos, which garnered a response from Swift herself , led Ticketmaster to offer some scorned fans a second chance at buying tickets.

The saga continued last year when Ticketmaster halted ticket sales for the “Eras Tour” shows in Paris and Lyon, after the website crashed amid technical glitches and hourslong wait times plaguing the more than 700,000 fans in the queue.

Zoe McCormack, a Canadian fan who experienced the Ticketmaster crash , said she managed to get tickets the following week for multiple nights in Paris, where she now lives. She said her non-VIP tickets here cost €190 each, or about $205, making them more affordable than U.S. tickets.

Many tickets for Swift’s shows in Europe cost only a fraction of what tickets cost for her U.S. dates, making them more financially accessible for North American fans who either failed to secure tickets in the U.S. last year or found prices too exorbitant. Some resale tickets sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

“I’m so happy that she came to Paris, especially since she has that ‘Paris’ song. I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since I moved to Paris,” McCormack said. “I’m so excited to be here. I can’t believe that it’s already here because we got the tickets almost a year ago. So it’s been a whole year of anticipation, getting the costumes ready, getting our bracelets ready.”

Traveling to see concerts abroad is not a new phenomenon, as buying tickets for concerts in the U.S. has become an increasingly competitive and highly expensive ordeal for fans of popular artists such as Swift, Beyoncé and Olivia Rodrigo . Many American fans of Beyoncé also opted to see her “Renaissance World Tour” in Europe instead .

Swift’s next stop, in Stockholm, expects to see about 10,000 American attendees, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce Chief Economist Carl Bergqvist told The Associated Press . Airlines have also added extra flights from bordering Nordic countries, he added.

The pop star was lauded last year by the U.S. Federal Reserve and several municipal governments for her economic impact as “The Eras Tour” boosted tourism revenue nationwide. Europe may experience the same effect, as Bergqvist said Stockholm’s 40,000 hotel rooms are sold out for Swift’s three tour dates there, and that “Eras Tour” concertgoers are expected to inject around 500 million Swedish krona, or more than $46 million, into the local economy.

Taylor Swift Adds TTPD Songs (and Subtracts Others) from Eras Tour Setlist as European Leg Kicks Off in Paris

The singer's May 9 show marks her first since releasing 'The Tortured Poets Department' — see all the setlist changes

• Taylor Swift resumed her Eras Tour in Paris on May 9
• The concert marked her first since releasing her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department
• She added songs from TTPD to the tour setlist, while removing a handful of other album tracks throughout the show

Taylor Swift is back and better than ever!

After a nearly two-month break from her historic Eras Tour , during which she released her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department , the singer has taken the stage once again, and this time, she’s in Europe.

The pop star, 34, took the stage at Paris La Défense Arena in France on May 9 to perform her career-spanning set list — which has been edited to make room for TTPD tracks, meaning some others have been cut (at least for now). New outfits, set pieces and choreography were also present.

Fans realized they were in for a fresh Eras Tour experience when the concert's introduction video was changed to include a TTPD section of the Lover house representing each of Swift's eras.

As per usual, she opened the show Thursday with the Lover section — but skipped "The Archer." From there, the Grammy winner went into Fearless followed by Red , performing the sections in a different order than during the previous tour legs. Another nod to the setlist switch-ups? Swift sported a t-shirt that read, "This Is Not Taylor's Version," while performing "22."

Next came the Speak Now section, and she removed "Long Live," which was initially added following the July 2023 release of the album's rerecorded Taylor's Version .

The Reputation segment then arrived, followed by a combined Folklore and Evermore section with "The 1," "The Last Great American Dynasty," "Tolerate It" and "'Tis the Damn Season" getting cut.

"I have always talked about Folklore and Evermore as sister albums," explained Swift on stage. "On the Eras Tour, we have reunited the sisters, combined them into one chapter, you can call it 'Folkmore,' 'Everlore,' you can call it whatever you want as long as you promise to sing 'Champagne Problems' really loud."

The 1989 section came afterwards, and then The Tortured Poets Department . The section highlighting Swift's latest album featured "But Daddy I Love Him," "So High School," "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me," "Down Bad," "Fortnight," "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" and "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart."

Swift then performed two surprise songs: "Paris" from Midnights and "loml" from TTPD .

The show concluded with the Midnights section, with all seven tracks from previous shows remaining in the setlist.

Since Swift's last round of Eras Tour shows in Singapore in March — which the pop star dubbed an “unforgettable way to end this leg of the tour” — she has kept busy, attending Coachella , enjoying date nights with boyfriend Travis Kelce and, of course, releasing her latest album.

The ”Florida!!!” singer will play three more shows at the Paris La Défense Arena on May 10, 11 and 12 before heading to the rest of her May tour stops, which include Stockholm, Lisbon and Madrid.

Then, the Eras Tour’s European leg will continue, returning to France (Lyon this time!) and hitting the U.K. before heading to Dublin in late June.

Swift will continue performing in Europe throughout the summer before wrapping in London in August and heading back to North America for a slew of shows in Toronto and, finally, Vancouver.

Set List: Morgan Wallen’s One Night at a Time Tour

What’s one sign of a country music superstar? A world tour with so much momentum, it just feels wrong to end it.

Taylor Swift changes Eras tour setlist for Europe

Taylor Swift has kicked off the European leg of her record-breaking Eras tour in France with a revamped setlist.

The star cut several songs and re-structured the concert to showcase music from her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department.

Fan favourites including The Archer and The 1 were dropped in favour of new songs like Fortnight and Down Bad.

The star also debuted several new outfits, including a sparkling red bodysuit for the opening portion of the show, and a black dress with silver tassles during the Fearless era.

Swift took to the stage at La Défense Arena in Paris shortly after 8pm local time, playing Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince, before greeting the sold-out crowd with a coquettish "enchanté".

She added that she felt "incredibly lucky" to be launching the European leg of her tour in "the most beautiful, romantic city in the world".

The 34-year-old remained on stage for more than three hours, finishing just after 11pm, having played 45 songs from across her 18-year career.

The tour is themed around the different "eras" she's created in that time, with individual sets dedicated to each of her 11 studio albums.

It kicked off in America last year, with fans boosting local economies and causing seismic activity with their dancing.

The Paris concert was Swift's first since releasing The Tortured Poets Department, a 31-track double album, three weeks ago.

Despite lukewarm reviews, it broke several sales records in its first week on sale.

To make room for the new material, condensed the sister albums Folklore and Evermore (both recorded during the Covid pandemic) into a single "Folkmore" chapter.

All the songs Taylor added and removed

Songs cut from the setlist:

• The Archer (Lover era)
• Long Live (Speak Now era)
• The 1 (Folklore era)
• Tis The Damn Season (Evermore era)
• Tolerate It (Evermore era)
• The Last Great American Dynasty (Folklore era)
• Mastermind (Midnights era)

New songs added:

• But Daddy, I Love Him
• So High School
• Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me
• The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
• I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

Surprise songs / acoustic set

• Paris (Midnights)
• Loml (Tortured Poets Department)

Fans spotted changes to the lavish stadium show almost immediately after it began, with the intro music updated to include snippets of music from The Tortured Poets Department.

But the first real confirmation came when The Archer was cut, 15 minutes into the concert. It was traditionally the sixth song on the setlist on previous legs.

Then Swift pulled another surprise - moving the sequence concentrating on her Red album to an earlier part of the show.

During those songs, the star wore a t-shirt emblazoned with the statement: "This is not Taylor's version" - a reference to the ongoing campaign to re-record her first six albums.

Swift performed the Tortured Poets Department material in a billowing cream ball gown, while the on-stage visuals adopted new a black-and-white theme.

For the downbeat ballad Down Bad, she appeared in the tractor beam of a UFO - a reference to the song's opening lyric: "Did you really beam me up / In a cloud of sparkling dust / Just to do experiments on?"

The new music largely deals with the breakdown of two relationships - with British actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975's lead singer, Matty Healy.

On stage, Swift jokingly described this portion of the show as "female rage, the musical".

The final portion of the show - concentrating on the diaphanous pop of 2022's Midnights album - was unchanged, with Swift ending on the hit single Karma.

The pop superstar's tour has become a cultural phenomenon, on a scale not seen since Madonna and Michael Jackson's concerts in the 1980s.

She is playing 152 stadium dates, with dates booked until December 2024.

When she wraps up, ticket sales are projected to reach $1.4 billion (£1.1 billion) - making it the most profitable tour of all time, surpassing the $939 million (£750 million) Elton John made on his multiyear farewell tour.

The tour comes to the UK on 7 June, with dates in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Cardiff and London.

Neil Young reunites with Crazy Horse after a decade, performs double encore

On Thursday night, magic happened in Tennesseee.

Singer-songwriter Neil Young and rock band Crazy Horse came together to perform their hits over a two-hour show at FirstBank Amphitheater on their first tour together in a decade.

The 2024 "Love Earth Tour" features the now 78-year-old singer alongside the Los Angeles rock band yet again.

Canadian singer-songwriter Young, best known for songs "Heart of Gold," "Harvest Moon" and "Old Man," released the album "Fu##in' Up" with Crazy Horse on April 25, featuring nine rock 'n' roll tracks. The two have released 15 studio albums together.

Young and Crazy Horse kicked off their brief 16-stop tour on April 24 in San Diego and will continue with upcoming stops in Virginia, New Jersey, New York and more.

Thursday's concert in Franklin was originally slated for Wednesday evening, but was postponed by a day due to  inclement weather .

But Thursday night brought the calm after the storm; the evening was serene.

Neil Young returns to Spotify after 2-year hiatus following Joe Rogan controversy

After opener Reverend Billy and the Church of Stop Shopping , a musical performance art experience that draws from religion, Young hit the stage.

The set-up featured a backdrop with a galloping horse and giant speaker cabinets and road cases, the same ones Young took on the road with him for his "Rust Never Sleeps" tour in 1978.

Young appeared in a striped cap, a denim work shirt that featured paint splatters and a Spartan Truck Equipment patch, black pants, black shoes and of course, his guitar, Old Black .

He mentioned the venue's beauty multiple times — a stage nestled in the woods of Graystone Quarry in Thompson’s Station.

"How you doin out there? Nice to see you," Young said to the Franklin crowd.

"What a beautiful place. You guys are very lucky to have this place."

Alongside Young was the band, comprised of 80-year-old Billy Talbot on bass and 80-year-old Ralph Molina on drums. They also have a new member, Micah Nelson on guitar.

Nelson, Willie Nelson 's 33-year-old son, took over for the band's previous guitarist Nils Lofgren earlier this year.

Throughout the show, Neil Young and the band played a 17-song set, full with jam sessions and occasional harmonies. Young was energized and playful, captivating the crowd with his trademark nasally, emotional voice.

The set list was mostly comprised of older hits, like 1969's "Cinnamon Girl" and 1972's "Heart of Gold."

The band didn't play any songs from their recent album; the most recent song was 1996's "Scattered (Let's Think About Livin')." Nelson's big moment came during the tune; he traded his guitar to play a swinging keyboard that descended from the ceiling.

Young's guitar playing—both electric and acoustic—was adept and agile. Though Young shared in January he has been playing guitar with arthritis in his hand for years, audience members wouldn't have guessed.

He played the blues on song "Vampire Blues," hitting guitar licks with a precision like Stevie Ray Vaughan's. He also performed drawn-out, warping guitar solos on songs like "Like a Hurricane" and "Powderfinger."

Between songs, Young would hand his guitar off to his techs (who all wore white lab coats), but was audibly uncomfortable until he had a guitar in his arms yet again.

The night's concert walked the line between a Young that leaned into classic, grunge rock 'n' roll with Crazy Horse and a Young that gently cooed with Crosby, Stills & Nash in '69, strumming an acoustic.

Young pulled off the balancing act.

Here are some of the top moments from the night.

Neil Young opens with 'Cortez the Killer,' sings newly released verse

On a purple-lit stage, Neil Young and Crazy Horse kicked off the show with the 1975 song "Cortez the Killer."

The first lyrics from Young brought cheers from the audience as he sang, "He came dancing across the water / With his galleons and guns."

Young surprised fans at the first concert of the tour by singing unreleased lyrics to the song, ones he said did not record due to a power outage on the recording console in 1975.

Young found the lyric manuscript, he said in an interview mid-April this year.

The verse was lost for nearly 50 years. Young sang the verse again in Franklin.

“I floated on the water / I ate that ocean wave / Two weeks after the slaughter/ I was living in a cave / They came too late to get me / But there’s no one here to set me free / From this rocky grave / To that snowed-out ocean wave.”

Neil Young calls on local non-profits to support his eco-friendly mission

Neil Young has been vocal about his environmental efforts throughout his career .

In 1985, Young helped establish the annual Farm Aid concerts . In 2022, he released album "World Record," an album that focuses on climate change. Later that year, Young said he refused to play venues that are supported by factory farms .

The environmentalism was felt at his Franklin show.

Upon entering the concert, fans saw a series of tents and tables from local environmental organizations all hand picked by Young, including Tennessee Local Food . The organizations attended the concert and chatted with fans about their missions.

Young calls it the "LOVE EARTH Village."

At different stops on the tour, hundreds of non-profits working for sustainability and social equity will join to chat about issues like organic farming, wildlife protection, Native American rights and climate change solutions.

According to a venue employee, Young also changed the menu for the venue's offerings on Thursday, opting for more eco-friendly options (Coke products were nowhere to be seen).

On a handout at the venue, Young wrote, "Support your friends, support your land, and support the people that want to care for the land.

"The revolution starts with us. The revolution starts with you."

Neil Young goes acoustic mid-show, takes stage alone

At one point, Young took an empty stage, traded Old Black for an acoustic, and donned the harmonica around his neck.

He sang songs, "Comes a Time," "Heart of Gold" and "Human Highway" onstage alone, leaning into his folk singer-songwriter roots.

Despite the occasional hoot or holler in the audience, a hush crept over the amphitheater as Young sang, played plucky guitar and showcased his harmonica skills between verses.

It was a gentler, softer and more intimate side to the evening.

"Heart of Gold" stood out among the acoustic section.

Young sang his biggest hit: "Keep me searching / For a heart of gold / I've been a miner / For a heart of gold."

An encore and...another encore

Before the encore, Young ended his set with song "Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)," leaving the audience with the classic and singing, "Hey hey, my my / Rock and roll can never die."

And it didn't die just then, Young and the band returned to the stage to play "Roll Another Number (For the Road)" as their encore.

After the song finished, the audience didn't stop cheering. Young and company came back to deliver a second encore, this time three songs long.

For encore two, they performed "Danger Bird," "Don't Cry No Tears" and "Sedan Delivery," ending the night on a grungy rock 'n' roll note that included pink lights and plenty of reverb.

Afterwards, the band and Young gathered arm-in-arm in a single spotlight and gave their final bow.

Neil Young's Set List

• Cortez the Killer
• Cinnamon Girl
• Scattered (Let's Think About Livin')
• Like a Hurricane

Did Taylor Swift just add a popular UC cheer to her Eras Tour choreography? Maybe

Taylor Swift has called an audible for her upcoming Eras Tour shows .

Following the release of her 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," the pop superstar added a handful of new songs to her concert setlist (her Thursday show in Paris was her first since the album came out last month). She also created a new tour logo and added new outfits, which have the internet buzzing.

But one change in particular has Cincinnatians shook.

Videos of Swift singing "So High School," a song seemingly about her relationship with NFL tight end Travis Kelce , have flooded the internet. And one clip appears to show her paying homage to his alma mater: the University of Cincinnati .

In the video, Swift is seen, along with her background dancers, moving her arms in a circular motion before clapping her hands together. A Twitter/X user pointed to a video of Kelce doing a similar move during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals in 2022 .

Kelce's routine was actually " Down the Drive," a popular UC cheer fans and students do when attending Bearcats sporting events. The school's football team had just played in the College Football Playoff days earlier, so Kelce was showing his support.

It's fair to note, Swift didn't appear to do the entire "Down the Drive" routine. She didn't spell out "U-C" with her arms or anything. So the singer may have just been doing a cheerleader-like dance, which would fall in line with the high school theme of her song. But it's fun to imagine her watching the Bearcats with Kelce.

UC's social media team even reposted the video, along with the words to the famous "Down the Drive" cheer.

Travis Kelce and his brother, Jason, visited UC last month for a live show of their "New Heights" podcast . Bengals stars Joe Burrow and Orlando Brown Jr., and former Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder, were also in attendance.

Taylor Swift changed The Eras Tour set list to include 'The Tortured Poets Department.' Here are all 46 songs she performs now.

• Taylor Swift's blockbuster Eras Tour resumed Thursday in Nanterre, France.
• Swift altered the set list to include songs from her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department."
• The current Eras Tour set list, which includes 46 various hits and deep cuts, is cataloged below.

Taylor Swift is back on the road for her record-breaking , economy-altering Eras Tour.

The stadium series kicked off last year in Glendale, Arizona, and quickly became a sensation . After making stops across the US, Mexico, South America , Japan, Australia, and Singapore , Swift will continue to perform throughout 2024 in Europe , plus a second North American leg scheduled for later this year.

On Thursday, Swift resumed The Eras Tour in France after a multi-week hiatus.

During that break, Swift released her 11th studio album, " The Tortured Poets Department " — so she adjusted the original 44-song set list to include brand new tracks, though other fan favorites (including " The Archer ," " The 1 ," and " Tolerate It ") were cut for time.

The updated show stretches for over two hours and includes 46 songs. The complete set list is cataloged below, in order of Swift's performance.

"Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince"

The Eras Tour is Swift's first live tour since 2018. The show opener includes the lyric, "It's been a long time coming, but / It's you and me, that's my whole world." 

"Cruel Summer"

"Cruel Summer" was released as the second track on 2019's "Lover" and never promoted as a single.

However, once The Eras Tour was underway, the song experienced a delayed surge in popularity and became Swift's milestone 10th chart-topper on the Billboard Hot 100 .

"The Man"

"The Man" was promoted as the fourth single from "Lover," alongside an Easter egg-filled music video .

"You Need to Calm Down"

"You Need to Calm Down" is an ode to LGBTQ+ rights . The music video, which features a huge cast of queer celebrities , ends with a call to sign the Equality Act .

"Lover"

"Lover" is the solo-written title track from Swift's seventh studio album. Before she performs the song during The Eras Tour, she tells fans that she hopes it'll hold a special meaning for each individual who hears it.

"These are songs that I have written about my life or things I felt at one point in time," she says in the concert movie. "But after tonight, when you hear these songs out and about in the world, my dream is that you're gonna think about tonight, and the memories we made here together." 

"Fearless"

"Fearless" is the title track for Swift's 2008 sophomore album, which is still known as the most-awarded country album of all time .

"You Belong With Me"

Swift won best female video for "You Belong With Me" at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards .

"Love Story"

"Love Story" was the first rerecorded song that Swift ever released from her "Taylor's Version" series.

"22"

When Swift performs "22" during The Eras Tour, she always gives her bowler hat to one lucky concertgoer .

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was released as the lead single from "Red" in 2012. It became Swift's first-ever No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 .

"I Knew You Were Trouble"

The third single from "Red," coproduced by Max Martin and Shellback, peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100.

"All Too Well (10 Minute Version)"

The extended version of "All Too Well" was released as the final track on " Red (Taylor's Version) " after years of fan anticipation.

It debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, becoming the longest song ever to hold the chart's top position.

"Enchanted"

"Enchanted" is the only song from Swift's third album, "Speak Now," that she currently performs during The Eras Tour.

For a brief time, following the release of " Speak Now (Taylor's Version) ," Swift added the fan-favorite deep cut "Long Live" to the set list. It has since been removed.

"…Ready for It?"

"…Ready for It?" was originally teased during ABC's "Saturday Night Football" broadcast in 2017. It was later used by ESPN in college football commercials.

"Delicate"

Swift's performance of "Delicate" during The Eras Tour features a stage animation that cracks beneath her feet .

"Don't Blame Me"

"Don't Blame Me" is the sole non-single that Swift performs during the tour's "Reputation" segment. The fan-favorite track is often cited as a highlight of the show .

"Look What You Made Me Do"

"Look What You Made Me Do," which interpolates Right Said Fred's '90s hit "I'm Too Sexy," was released as the lead single from "Reputation" and debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

"Cardigan"

The No. 1 single "Cardigan" was released alongside Swift's beloved album " Folklore ." The song references Peter Pan and introduces the album's "teenage love triangle."

"Betty"

"Betty" is told from the perspective of a high schooler named James , who broke the heart of the titular heroine.

"Champagne Problems"

The heart-wrenching piano ballad "Champagne Problems" often inspires a minutes-long standing ovation during The Eras Tour.

"August"

Swift's debut performance of "August" took place at the 2021 Grammy Awards. Later that night, she won album of the year for "Folklore," her record-tying third trophy in that category.

"Illicit Affairs"

"Illicit Affairs" is widely interpreted as a song about marital infidelity, though its descriptions of forbidden love and "clandestine meetings" adopt new meanings through a queer lens .

"My Tears Ricochet"

In Swift's own words , "My Tears Ricochet" was inspired by the image of an "embittered tormentor showing up at the funeral of his fallen object of obsession."

"Marjorie"

"Marjorie" is named after Swift's late grandmother, Marjorie Finlay , an opera singer who died in 2003. Finlay is credited with background vocals in the song.

"Willow"

"Willow" was promoted as the lead single from " Evermore ." Like "Cardigan," it was released simultaneously with its parent album and debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

"Style"

Swift briefly dated Harry Styles before releasing her fifth studio album, "1989."

When Rolling Stone asked about the inspiration behind the album's third track, "Style," she replied, "We should have just called it 'I'm Not Even Sorry.'"

"Blank Space"

"Blank Space" is a widely celebrated satire about Swift's reputation as a "serial dater."

"'She only writes songs to get emotional revenge on guys. She's a man-hater. Don't let her near your boyfriend,'" Swift explained at the time. "It was just kind of excessive and, you know, at first it was hurtful and then I kind of found a little comedy in it."

The song dethroned "Shake It Off" at No. 1 on the Hot 100, making Swift the first and only woman in history to replace herself in the chart's top spot. (She has since done it twice.)

"Shake It Off"

"Shake It Off" was released as the lead single from "1989," Swift's official pivot from country to pop music .

The song became her first to debut at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and remained there for four weeks. It also inspired a sketch on "Saturday Night Live"  about adults realizing they love Swift's music.

"Wildest Dreams"

"Wildest Dreams" was released as the first rerecorded song from "1989 (Taylor's Version)."

"Bad Blood"

"Bad Blood" was famously inspired by Swift's then-feud with Katy Perry , whom Swift accused of trying to "sabotage" her "Red" tour. (The two pop stars have long since buried the hatchet .)

The remix includes a feature from Kendrick Lamar , who returned to rerecord his verse for "1989 (Taylor's Version)."

"But Daddy I Love Him"

Following the release of her massive double album , "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology," Swift added seven brand-new songs to The Eras Tour setlist.

The first is "But Daddy I Love Him," a sharp rebuke of Swift's own fans , many of whom criticized her dating life last year.

"So High School"

"So High School" is widely presumed to be about Swift's current boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce . The song's lyrics seem to reference their different professions: "You know how to ball, I know Aristotle."

"Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"

Swift is the only songwriter credited for "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"

The song title is likely inspired by "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" — a celebrated play written by Edward Albee that tackles themes of truth versus illusion, fate versus choice, and feeling trapped.

"Down Bad"

"Down Bad" is a heartsick serenade that compares falling in love to being abducted by aliens.

"Fortnight"

"Fortnight" was promoted as the lead single from "The Tortured Poets Department," alongside a music video that costars Post Malone and references "Dead Poets Society."

"The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived"

"The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" is a scathing breakup song that may have been inspired by Matty Healy , whom Swift dated while writing "The Tortured Poets Department." According to reports, their relationship lasted about one month .

"I Can Do It With a Broken Heart"

In a meta twist, "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" was apparently inspired by The Eras Tour itself. The lyrics seem to reference a string of concerts last year, when Swift felt "miserable" but continued to perform as usual ("They said, 'Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it,' and I did").

Surprise Song No. 1

During each show on The Eras Tour, Swift performs a two-song acoustic set that changes every night . The first song is always played on acoustic guitar. 

The first-ever surprise song Swift played in Arizona was "Mirrorball." For the first stop on the European leg, she chose the "Midnights" bonus cut "Paris."

Surprise Song No. 2

The second surprise song of the evening is always played on the piano.

In Arizona, Swift's first-ever surprise song on piano was "Tim McGraw," the lead single from her 2006 debut album. For night one in France, Swift played the "Tortured Poets" heartbreaker "Loml."

"Lavender Haze"

"Lavender Haze" is the opening track on Swift's 10th studio album " Midnights ."

"Anti-Hero"

"Anti-Hero" was promoted as the lead single from "Midnights." It debuted at No. 1 and became Swift's biggest hit to date, reigning atop the chart for eight weeks.

The same week that "Anti-Hero" arrived in the top spot, Swift became the first and only artist in history to  occupy the entire top 10 on the Hot 100 .

"Midnight Rain"

"Midnight Rain" doubles as a breakup song and an ode to Swift's own ambitions: "He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain / He wanted a bride, I was making my own name," she sings, calling back to the rejection of '50s gender roles in "Lavender Haze."

"Vigilante Shit"

Put simply, "Vigilante Shit" is about getting revenge. Many fans believe the song was inspired by Scooter Braun , who purchased Swift's back catalog in 2019. Less than two years later, he sold Swift's master recordings to a private equity company .

"Bejeweled"

The music video for "Bejeweled"  includes a variety of celebrity cameos, including Laura Dern, the Haim sisters, and Dita Von Teese.

"Mastermind"

In the chorus of "Mastermind," Swift seems to serenade her longtime fans: "What if I told you I'm a mastermind? / And now you're mine." 

The song also references Swift's penchant for Easter eggs and her keen business acumen, which has allowed her to build a billion-dollar empire .

"I'm sick of women not being able to say that they have strategic business minds — because male artists are allowed to," Swift told Rolling Stone in 2019. "And so I'm sick and tired of having to pretend like I don't mastermind my own business."

"Karma"

Swift closes the elaborate show with "Karma," a song that mocks her enemies and salutes her own longevity: "Ask me what I learned from all those years / Ask me what I earned from all those tears / Ask me why so many fade, but I'm still here."

• Rostov-on-Don, Russia

Rostov-on-Don (Rostov-na-Donu) is the capital city of the Russian federal subject of Rostov Oblast. It is the biggest city in Southern Russia and the 10th most populous in the country, with a current population of 1,110,000. Owing to its strategic position on the Don River, Rostov-on-Don acts as a vital seaport and industrial juggernaut. This metropolitan also serves as a launching point for the Caucasus and an all-around beautiful place to visit. 

Geography And Climate Of Rostov-on-Don

Rostov-on-Don, also referred to simply as "Rostov," is located in Southeastern Russia, just north of the Caucuses - a mountain range containing Mount Elbrus , which is Europe's highest peak (i.e., one of the " Seven Summits ''). Rostov-on-Don is also situated on the Don River, about 30 miles inland from the Sea of Azov , which itself opens into the Black Sea . Rostov is about 670 miles south of Moscow and sits in the immediate vicinity of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Eastern Ukraine. 

This region's climate is generally temperate and experiences steady rainfall throughout the year. The average annual temperature is 51 degrees Fahrenheit, ranging from a low of 22 degrees in the coldest month of January to a high of 85 degrees in the hottest month of July. The average relative humidity is 73%. 

History Of Rostov-on-Don

The predecessor of Rostov began in 1749 with the establishment of a Turkish customs port. The fortress of St. Dmitry of Rostov was built between 1761 and 1763, which served as the developing town's focal point. Neighboring Armenian settlement, Nakhichevan-na-Donu, later merged with this site to form the basis of modern Rostov. In 1806, the combined town was officially named Rostov-on-Don. The city grew steadily throughout the 19th century in conjunction with the surrounding North-Caucasus region. 

In 1952 the Volga-Don Shipping Canal linked Rostov to the Volga basin. This project thereby connected the already important seaport to Europe's longest river and Russia's main waterway. 

Today, Rostov-on-Don is a vital meeting point for road, rail, water systems, and oil and natural gas pipeline connections that serve central Russia and the Caucasus. Rostov is also close to the Donets Coal Basin, which has contributed to the city's significant industrial and engineering role for the whole of Russia. 

Because of its transport and industrious capabilities, Rostov has recently played a major part in the invasion of Ukraine. Russian forces and heavy artillery gathered near the border city, which was then used as one of many launching points for the attacks on February 24, 2022. 

Visiting Rostov-on-Don

The Rostov-on-Don Airport was replaced by the Platov International Airport in 2017. Some international flights are available, but most international travel would likely connect through Moscow. Rostov can also be accessed by Russia's extensive train system or by car or bus. Prospective international travelers will want to be sure to allow adequate time for obtaining a tourist visa. This formal undertaking can be much more time-intensive and expensive compared to many other nations around the world. 

While the current situation makes travel ill-advised, Rostov does offer a variety of appealing aspects for general tourism. For starters, there is a wealth of striking architecture, both in terms of religious structures and government buildings. A thorough tour will also unveil a variety of niche museums and a bounty of beautiful parks scattered throughout the city. Sports fans and fitness buffs will want to take stock of the gigantic athletic facilities that Rostov offers. And finally, no trip would be complete without a survey of the Don River. The Voroshilovsky bridge offers a panoramic view of the city and a snapshot of the seaport activity. 

Current Events And The Invasion of Ukraine

Early in the morning of February 24, 2022, Russia's military invaded Ukraine , launching assaults by land, sea, air, and with disruptive cyber attacks. Rostov-on-Don served as a vital launchpad for this campaign. The widespread attacks were unprovoked and triggered immediate, harsh sanctions against Russia by the United States and other G7 nations . Russian President, Vladimir Putin, claimed that the intention was the "...demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine." Ukraine declared a state of emergency, and President Volodymyr Zelensky asked for all citizens willing to defend the country to step forward.
