Yesterday in the capital of Azerbaijan the opening of the International Music Festival “Heat” took place, which for the second year in a row is organized by Emin Agalarov, Sergey Kozhevnikov and Grigory Leps at the Sea Breeze resort. Among the first to appear on the red carpet of the festival were Vera Brezhneva, Valeria and Joseph Prigozhin, Alexander Revva, Natalya Chistyakova-Ionova, aka Gluck"oZa, Oleg Gazmanov, Irina Dubtsova, Slava, Timur Rodriguez and many others. There were some surprises: For the first time, the vocalist of the German rock band Rammstein, Till Lindemann, arrived in Baku and was happy to be at the festival, but not so happy to pose for photographs. The only exception was photos in the company of Svetlana Loboda, with whom he spent a lot of time at the festival’s after-party.

This year, viewers can expect twice as much good music: the festival will last not two days, like last time, but four. On the first day, the artists performed their songs, the second will be dedicated to Sofia Rotaru, who celebrates her 70th birthday on August 7. On the third day, Alla Pugacheva’s creative evening will take place. On the final evening, guests will hear songs by Grigory Leps performed by other artists.

This is my first time at Zhara, although I have been to Azerbaijan more than once. By the way, in this country I tried the most delicious pilaf! I hope this time we will be able to not only work, but also have a delicious meal. In Baku we are going to surprise fans with arrangements and numbers. On the anniversary evening of Sofia Rotaru I will sing “Moon-Moon”, on the creative evening of the Diva “Forgive, Believe”, and in the finale you will hear Grigory Leps’ song “She” performed by me. It will be unexpected and interesting,” Gluck "oZa told HELLO.RU.

The program is intense, which means the musicians have something to work on. Rehearsals have been in full swing since the morning; Despite the fact that the stage is located right on the shore, no one has time to cool off in the Caspian Sea - everyone wants to amaze with their act. One of the first to have this opportunity was Emin, Ani Lorak and Valeria, who opened the evening with the song “Let's run away to Baku” accompanied by volleys of fireworks.

This year the festival will last twice as long. More than 80 artists will take the stage. Our main task is to give a holiday and a good mood to all guests and residents of Baku,” said Emin.

Emin managed to put on a show, as always: although the concert took place on a weekday and lasted more than 6 hours, the hall was completely sold out. After their performances, the artists also did not want to leave and moved to the VIP zone, where they could chat with friends in a calm atmosphere, try the famous Azerbaijani kebab and dance.

Which is taking place these days in Baku, brought together several dozen Russian artists on one site. Of course, it could not have happened without foreign guests. Thus, the frontman of the German metal band Rammstein Till Lindemann flew to the festival, who was invited to the capital of Azerbaijan by one of the organizers of the event, Emin Agalarov.

The stars decided to take advantage of the moment and took pictures with the world celebrity. And now, two days after the start of the festival, a lot of different shots with the participation of the vocalist appeared on the Internet.

Some Russian celebrities simply took a selfie, while others were photographed with the musician while watching the film. Social networks have even started joking about the fact that Till was simply “captured” and did not want to let him go, so everyone wanted to talk to him and take memorable photos.

Demonic gaze. With the legendary Till Lindemanno,

Alexander Revva joked.

The lead singer of the German band Rammstein Till Lindemann became a guest star at the opening ceremony of the Heat festival, which is currently taking place in Baku. His arrival could well have turned out to be an ordinary visit of a foreign guest star to the countries of the post-Soviet space, if not for the meme and the subsequent flash mob, which was created by one of the residents of Azerbaijan, Shamil Ramazanov.

What Shamil posted on Facebook is popularly called “hype,” but not every post with an ironic overtone posted online and addressed to a superstar works - but this one did. As Shamil clearly noted, the lead singer of Rammstein was in great demand at the festival, and it would be nice if ordinary fans took selfies with him - there was literally a line of Russian stars lined up to see the musician. “With the legendary Till,” wrote Joseph Prigogine. “Now I have a photo with him,” Albina Dzhanabaeva boasted about the selfie. In most of the photos, Till Lindemann looked, according to the creator of the “hype,” sad and tired. Most likely, the reason for this is the long flight and really hot weather. But Shamil was not satisfied with this explanation, and he left a post on his Facebook:

Dear Till, I just saw your photographs with Olga Buzova, Anita Tsoi, Emin, Joseph Prigozhin and other Russian stars in Azerbaijan. Please blink twice if you are captured.

Two days later there was a response that caused an explosive reaction on social networks. The Rammstein lead singer posted a video in which he holds a napkin with the inscription “Help” in his hands and flashes twice. Thousands of fans from all over the world have already expressed their readiness to help their idol, and at the same time they must have learned where Baku is on the world map.

At the “Heat” music festival taking place in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, a “round dance” of CIS pop stars was noticed around the lead singer and leader of the German rock band Rammstein.

Till Lindemann was seen in the company of Lolita Milyavskaya, Svetlana Loboda and Olga Buzova.

Photos of him hugging some pop stars and producers shocked fans of the German group, who assumed that our performers had captured him and forced him to take pictures with them.

On Instagram you can see many beautiful pictures of our pop artists posing with Till Lindemann.

The most ambiguous mise-en-scène in the company of the German musician was created by Svetlana Loboda, who in her photo blog accompanied the photo with Lindemann with the caption: “Love will unexpectedly appear when you are not expecting it at all.”

But Olga Buzova and Lindemann were less fortunate. No languid glances, the German prudently put on black glasses so that it would not be visible who exactly he was looking at.

By the way, Rammstein fans didn’t like Lindemann’s new friends at all. One of the fans of the German group suggested that the artist was taken hostage and might need help.

"Dear Till Lindemann, I just saw some photos of you with great artists in Azerbaijan. Please blink twice if you are taken hostage," a fan wrote.

Soon a video appeared on Instagram where Till was actually blinking and holding a piece of paper with the words “help” in his hands.
