Popular Russian musician Miron Fyodorov, also known as Oxxxymiron, continues his protest against the Russian invasion in Ukraine, this time with a concert in London. Following his previous performance in Istanbul, one of the most influential Russian rappers presented another event of his Russians Against War tour, which replaced his originally sold-out series of concerts in Russia.
The London gig, which was Oxxxymiron's first concert in the English capital for six years, was broadcast on the singer’s official YouTube channel, as well as on his Twitch channel raw_online (RAW is an acronym for Russians Against War).
The stream was on air for 1.5 hours, attracting 35.42K viewers on average. The event’s viewership peak was reached about halfway through the concert when 47.7K concurrent viewers tuned in to spectate the show. In total, viewers spent 56K hours watching the concert.
Just like in the case of the previous concert in Istanbul, Oxxxymiron's YouTube broadcast of the London gig brought in the majority of the event's viewership — 96.44% of the total HW count. The event’s viewership peak on the platform reached 46.3K concurrent viewers.
Besides Oxxxymiron’s performance, viewers also had a chance to see the Russian rock legend Boris Grebenshchikov, who came on stage in support of the rapper's message and sang a few songs himself. Zemfira, another Russian singer who attended the event, expressed her support behind the scenes.
According to the live stream counter, the rapper raised more than $53,000, with proceeds from the event going to refugees who have fled Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia.
