Artem Pivovarov's concert in Kyiv
According to inkorr.com: On November 8, a concert by Artem Pivovarov took place at the Palace of Sports in Kyiv. After the event, the lights went out due to a Russian shelling that struck Ukraine's energy system. This information is confirmed by 'Glavkom', citing video materials from TikTok.

After that, Artem invited the L.M. Revutsky Choir to the stage, which had already performed during the concert. He suggested that the audience sing the National Anthem of Ukraine together. Despite the lack of technical means, the artist performed it a cappella.
Future plans of the singer
On the social network Threads, Artem shared his thoughts on the situation with the lights, noting that connecting the generator would have taken about half an hour, but due to the alarm in the region, it was not possible.
“The concert took place, and that is the most important thing,”- he added.
Also during the concert, Artem announced the closure of his projects 'Your Verses - My Notes' and 'The Vusa', which meant a lot to him. Currently, he is focusing on preparing a new studio album, which is his priority.
Artem Pivovarov's concert in the capital made an impression on the audience, and after its conclusion, there was a power outage due to the shelling of the energy infrastructure.
