Russian music band Mumiy Troll to perform at Dubai’s home of live entertainment, Coca-Cola Arena on 4 September 2021, at the official launch of the cultural programme of the Expo 2020’s Russian Pavilion.

Mumiy Troll has revolutionised Russian music since its emergence on the scene in the 1980s, setting a new standard for Russian songwriting, combining British rock and pop influences with Asiatic lyricism. Created in faraway Vladivostok, this formula proved to be a hit, and from the start, Mumiy Troll established itself as one of the most influential and technologically advanced bands in Russia.

The group’s founder and still its frontman today is Ilya Lagutenko, who is not only a wildly charismatic singer-songwriter, but also a passionate eco-fighter, a rescuer of whales and an authority on modern art – and in particular, on NFT art.

The Mumiy Troll concert will mark the official presentation of the Russian Pavilion’s cultural programme at Expo 2020 Dubai. Taking place from 1 October 2021 until 31 March 2022, Expo 2020 is the first World Expo to take place in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region. Millions of visitors are expected across the six months of the event, and a record-breaking number of countries – 191 in total – will be taking part. With the theme “Connecting minds, creating the future”, Expo 2020 in Dubai will be, quite simply, one of the world’s greatest gatherings.

The theme of the Russian Pavilion at Expo 2020 is “Creative mind: driving the future”. Inside, visitors to the pavilion will learn about the scientific and cultural achievements of the past, but also – and just as importantly – about how the creative mind can build a future to benefit all humanity, introducing visitors to the latest achievements of Russian creativity. Combined with a wide-ranging business and cultural programme, the pavilion will show the world the many faces of Russia: diverse, youthful, bright, creative, beautiful.
