Charity Concert in Stockholm

We are deeply moved by the sincerity, mercy and warmth of the friendly hugs during the #RockForUkraine event. Just yesterday, complete strangers became relatives, because only relatives in spirit, people with a huge heart, full of kindness and compassion, can help in other people’s trouble.

First of all, we are thankful to an incredibly talented rock musician Danny Hynes for the organization the #RockForUkraine rock concert in Stockholm, which main purpose was to help Ukraine. The event took place in the cult club Hard Rock Cafe Stockholm, whose visitors have rock in their veins.

Really cool bands attended the concert and it was incredibly honorable to be on the same stage with them. We were once again convinced that Sweden is an extremely musical country, and its rock culture is drive, adrenaline and virtuosity of the musicians.
The Kyiv band #OpenLock also had the honor of performing at #RockForUkraine.

Band composition:
Frontman, vocalist – Val Kolakovskyi
Band manager, bass – Serhii Matusov
Guitar – Yaroslav Raichenko
Keyboard – Alex Shevtsov
Drums – Anton Tabachny

We are thankful to the organizers for the invitation and to the Swedish public for a warm welcome, loud applause and for supporting Ukraine in such difficult times.

If not for the war in Ukraine, the concert would have left only warm memories. But the war requires a lot of effort, that’s why the Ukrainian musicians #OpenLock just after finishing concerts, immediately become volunteers, porters and drivers who deliver humanitarian aid to refugee centers.

The funds donated by the organizers will be sent to the children’s center, which takes care of young children from large families and children of the Ukrainian refugees who are the most vulnerable in the face of a terrible tragedy.

We are thankful to Sweden and its rock music community! We will always be grateful for your support!
