Singer, Honored Artist of Russia Dima Bilan responded to criticism of his stadium concert in Moscow, saying that he and his team are already looking for a solution to keep the show technologically advanced and provide a good overview for everyone.
The concert took place at the VTB Arena in Moscow. An interactive podium was placed in the center of the stadium at a height of 6 meters, which mainly caused mass criticism. The audience in the fan zone could hardly see the artist - "only the crown" sometimes. As a result, many viewers had to watch the show on interactive screens, many of which "lagged".
Bilan stressed that his concert was the first innovative experience of this scale.
"Of course, any new format has its own peculiarities. Complex technological solutions, especially those implemented for the first time, do not always work perfectly right away and imply certain risks. But this is exactly how new things are born: through courage, experience, search and constant development," Bilan explained on his social network page.
He assured that together with the team he would sort out all the nuances and shortcomings.
"This is fundamentally important to me. After all, moving forward is not only the ability to come up with and implement new things, but also the ability to hear each other, honestly discuss difficult moments and draw the right conclusions. The main thing to understand is that we didn't just see the concert together. We became part of a big experiment and really made history," Bilan is sure.
The actor thanked everyone who came to his new show and witnessed this experiment.

Meanwhile, on social networks, fans continue to be outraged by the organization of the concert, while complaining that critical comments are deleted in the artist's account.
"How Larisa Dolina sang: "And again on the way stenaaaa", "Return the money to the people", "Nothing was visible", "Very ugly, why is this 6-meter bandura? It is necessary to be more modest, without royal manners!", "This is disrespect for fans", "A wall of misunderstanding between the artist and the audience", "There should be a full refund here," users continue to be outraged.
As EADaily reported, the concert took place on July 31. Ticket prices started at 4.5 thousand rubles and reach 12 thousand rubles for a seat in the sector closer to the stage. RIA Novosti estimated that when selling all tickets for this concert, the proceeds, excluding the costs of organizing the show, should amount to 115 million rubles.
