Ten thousand people will be involved in securing the arena for Korzh's concert in Bucharest

The only event in recent history for which the state demonstrated a more powerful security apparatus was the 2008 NATO summit.

Today, May 23, Max Korzh's concert will take place at the National Stadium in Bucharest. During the Belarusian artist's performance, ten thousand police officers, gendarmes, and special service employees will be involved — ten times more than at Metallica's concert, — writes Reform.news, citing the Romanian publication b365.

The only event in recent history for which the state demonstrated a more powerful security apparatus was the 2008 NATO summit.

For the Romanian audience, the singer is almost unknown. About 3,000 tickets were purchased from Romania, while 39,000 spectators will arrive from other countries. This is the largest flow of foreign tourists for an event ever organized in Romania.

“Who is Max Korzh, the 'unknown' artist who fills the national arena?” the article's author asks and provides an answer.

“Max Korzh is 37 years old, born in the small town of Luninets in Belarus, and unwittingly became a symbol of Eastern European resistance. In 2012, he started with $300 borrowed from his mother, with a song published on VKontakte. Five years later, he filled Minsk-Arena,” writes b365. “During the protests against Lukashenka in 2020, his music – about escape, hopelessness, people crushed by harsh systems – became the soundtrack of the uprising. He did not call people to the streets. He embodies their fear in words. In 2022, when the war in Ukraine began, he canceled all concerts in Russia and Belarus.”

It should be recalled that on August 9, 2025, Max Korzh performed in Warsaw before 60,000 spectators at the National Stadium. The concert ended in a major scandal. Polish police detained over 100 spectators, including for fans jumping over barriers and entering the field.

The musician's next concerts will take place on June 6 in Istanbul, and June 26 in Düsseldorf.

    Нея, калі вы бачылі відэа з гэтага канцэрта - рэакцыя была недастатковая. Трэба было забараніць канцэрт, а гопнікаў трэба было гасіць газам і вадамётамі, як агрэсіўных футбольных фанатаў. А расходы - павесіць на арганізатараў канцэрту.
