The heavy rockers are among the biggest draws ever in the former Soviet Union after performing for 60,000 music fans at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow in 2007 - and promoters are keen to get them back, offering the best venues.
Nadezhda Solovyova, who heads SAV Entertainment and Russky Show-Center, tells Blabbermouth.net, "We have already arranged a stadium concert and now we want to do something new. We want to arrange a concert for the entire Olimpiysky (venue) with a circle in the middle. They have a specially-designed project for such a stage."
