A photo with SVO supporters prompted demands to cancel the Anacondaz concert in Yerevan.

A petition to cancel the Russian band's concert in Yerevan has garnered over 140 signatures, despite Anacondaz's canceled performances in Georgia.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the Astrakhan band Anacondaz's concert, scheduled for July 8, 2023, in Rostov-on-Don, was canceled. The musicians had previously criticized the special military operation. Anacondaz's concerts have also been canceled in other Russian cities. For example, in Yekaterinburg, a concert was cancelled at the instigation of the prosecutor's office due to the performers' pacifist stance. The band's musicians spoke out against the special operation in Ukraine on its first day – February 24, 2022. A petition to cancel the Russian band Anacondaz's concert on February 22 has been published on Change.org. "The Russian band Anacondaz is scheduled to hold a concert in Yerevan on February 18, 19, and 22. We demand that this event be cancelled... In January 2026, the band members posed for photos with artists who openly support the military operation against Ukraine: Radio Tapok, Wildways, and members of the band Slot. These people are performing in front of Russian troops... The Anacondaz guitarist posted this photo and accompanied it with the Russian tricolor," the petition reads. As of 4:30 PM, it had garnered 144 votes.

This follows the cancellation of the band's performances in Georgia. As the band announced on their Telegram channel, Georgian venues have denied them permission to hold two shows in Tbilisi and one in Batumi, scheduled for February 20, 21, and 22.

"Since so many tickets have been sold out, we've decided to add another concert in Yerevan on February 22," the band stated in a statement. The same Telegram channel also reported that all tickets for the February 19 concert in Yerevan are sold out. As of 4:30 PM, the band's posts have not responded to calls to cancel the concert.

On February 13, Anacondaz announced on their channel the release of a diss track against Pornofilmy frontman Vladimir Kotlyarov*. The track is titled "I've Missed You So Much," a reference to the song of the same name by Pornofilmy. In the song, the Anacondaz artists use obscene language directed at Kotlyarov and insult him.

This occurred after Kotlyarov criticized his colleagues for publishing a post featuring musicians who supported the SVO, and expressed outrage that Anacondaz had planned a major tour, specifically in Armenia and Georgia.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that concerts and performances by various artists in cities across southern Russia had been repeatedly canceled due to their stance on the special operation in Ukraine. For example, on March 22, 2023, it became known that the Rostov-on-Don mayor's office convinced the owner of a concert venue to cancel a performance by Mashina Vremeni due to the "negative influence" of the band's leader, Andrei Makarevich*, on the city's residents. On the same day, it was announced that the Rostov concerts of the bands Mumiy Troll and DDT had been cancelled.

In February 2023, Alexander Revva announced the cancellation of his concerts in Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar, citing technical reasons, and promised that the performances would take place in the fall. Revva's concerts were cancelled amid calls on social media to avoid attending his performances due to his stance on the military operation in Ukraine.
