US Stars Tour Former USSR as Putin's War Shifts Music Scene

Since the war in Ukraine, many big American music stars have started performing in countries like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia.

This is because they can't perform in Moscow anymore.

These concerts are very popular, and many people from Russia and other countries are traveling to see them.

The concerts are also helping these countries' economies by bringing in tourists and creating new jobs.

People are enjoying the music and the new experiences, and it's making these places more connected to the rest of the world.

It's a big change from before the war, when most of the performances were by older, less famous artists.
