The Crocus City Hall (Russian: Крокус Сити Холл, romanized: Krokus Siti Kholl) was a music venue in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Oblast, Russia. It is part of the Crocus City development, which also includes the Crocus City Mall, Crocus Expo and Vegas City Hall. It is dedicated to Muslim Magomayev (1942–2008), a Soviet singer born in present-day Azerbaijan.[2] The venue was developed by Crocus Group, owned by Aras Agalarov, and opened on 25 October 2009.[2] The venue burned down in the Crocus City Hall attack on 22 March 2024 and, although it is planned to be restored, it will no longer operate as a concert venue.[3] In March of 2025 a memorial for the victims of the 2024 attack was inaugurated in front of the concert venue and the second pavilion of the Crocus Expo exhibition space.[4]
Crocus refers to brightly colored, seasonal flowers that grow in the spring from a bulb.
Notable performers at the venue have included Scorpions, Smokie, the Pet Shop Boys, Nazareth, a-ha, Sting, Elton John, Thomas Anders and Vanessa May. The Miss Universe 2013 pageant was also held at the venue, which included a stage appearance by Donald Trump.[1] It also was the location of the Top Hit Music Awards in several years and the Russian version of The Masked Singer.
2024 attack
[edit | edit source]On 22 March 2024, at around 20:00 MSK (UTC+3), 149 people were killed[5] and over 600 were injured[6] after four masked and camouflaged gunmen committed a mass shooting and set off multiple explosions at the venue, which caught fire as a result.[7][8] Russia's Foreign Ministry called the incident a terrorist attack.[9] The Islamic State – Khorasan Province, a South-Central Asia-based regional affiliate of the Islamic State, claimed responsibility.[10][11]
In the aftermath of the attack, lawsuits were filed alleging fire safety code violations at the venue.[12]
