Scooter vocalist H.P. Baxter expressed surprise at Kyiv's position.
“We are going to Crimea not to engage in politics, but because our fans live there. We have something to show them,” he said.
Next to the date of the performance in Balaklava on the group’s official website, the country is not indicated, only the city.
“We did this on purpose. We don’t want to make the situation explosive, we want to remain neutral,” said band manager Jens Tele.
