Russian Winter Festival

Just a quick post for readers in and around London to let them know that the third annual Russian Winter Festival is taking place on Trafalgar Square this Saturday, 13th January 2007. As well as the usual mix of stalls selling Russian food and other crap, there will be a concert featuring Dima Bilan(!), Pelageya, Tokio, Garik Sukachiov, and others. The show will run from about 11am until 6:30pm, and Dima Bilan should be on stage at around 2:30.

This will not be the first time Dima has performed at the event, he also appeared at the first show in 2005, but since then his popularity has soared and he has become one of the biggest, if not the biggest pop star in Russia today. Saturday's appearance is significant as Dima is about to launch himself in Western Europe.
