MOSCOW – ‘Monsters of Rock Moscow 2022’ has announced Staind as their first headliner as the long defunct music festival has been resurrected as a Kremlin-pressured pro-war rally.
American rock band STAIND has been announced as the first headliner for the festival. Staind frontman Aaron Lewis recently embraced conspiracy theories about Vladmir Putin attacking Ukraine as a way to destroy the “deep state”. At a recent concert, Aarow Lewis asked his audience “maybe we should listen to what Vladmir Putin is saying”.
The clip which has now gone viral, mostly on Russian State TV, has served as an impetus for the Kremlin to invite Staind to perform in Moscow.
Aaron Lewis is slated to appear on Tucker Carlson’s show to announce specific details about the concert and air his thoughts on the Ukraine invasion.
