Boris Grebenshikov, one of the main icons of Russian rock music, is going on tour with the BG+ band (a temporary substitute for Aquarium, which ceased to exist after the war in Ukraine began), presenting a new concert program with a mysterious title: √☀ (“The Square Root of the Sun”). The program includes songs from three recent BG mini-albums, Aquarium classics, and brand-new material. Every BG concert is more than just a performance. It’s a journey through musical worlds, where legendary Aquarium songs — the soundtrack of several generations — meet fresh compositions filled with tragedy, poetic depth, subtle irony, and BG’s unmistakable spirit. BG+ is a compact group of musicians who have recorded and toured with BG over the last three years. Together, they create a chamber-like, vibrant, and rich sound — stripped of pretension, and as close in spirit as possible to classic Aquarium. BG+ lineup: Boris Grebenshikov — vocals, guitar Konstantin Tumanov — accordion, keyboards Brian Finnegan - flute Andrei Surotdinov — violin Alexander Titov - bass Liam Bradley — percussion, drums Gleb Grebenshikov — percussion
