LEONID & FRIENDS

Leonid & Friends is a collective of 11 world-renowned musicians who defy musical genres and are renowned for their astonishingly precise renditions of Chicago’s greatest classics, as well as their rousing interpretations of other rock, pop and jazz-fusion hits from the 1970s. Founded by Leonid Vorobyev, a multi-talented musician and producer, the group brings together elite singers and instrumentalists from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and elsewhere, united by a shared passion for this iconic musical era.

Originally conceived as a studio project in Moscow, Leonid & Friends enjoyed a meteoric rise to international fame when their spot-on video covers went viral online, even earning praise from the members of Chicago themselves. What began as a YouTube phenomenon has since evolved into a world-class touring act, captivating audiences across North America, Europe and Asia. With over 500 million cumulative views on their videos, several sold-out tours in the United States and a devoted global fanbase, the band is celebrated worldwide for its tribute to the classics whilst going far beyond them: they bring the sound, spirit and joy of a generation back to life through unrivalled musical talent and passion.

In concert, Leonid & Friends deliver an incredibly authentic and exhilarating experience, featuring a brass section of surgical precision, rich vocal harmonies and an inimitable rock ’n’ roll spirit. Fans can look forward to timeless anthems such as ‘25 or 6 to 4’, ‘Make Me Smile’, ‘Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?’, ‘Feelin’ Stronger Every Day’, ‘Beginnings’, ‘Questions 67 & 68’ and ‘Hard to Say I’m Sorry / Get Away’, as well as a few surprises drawn from an ever-evolving repertoire featuring Earth, Wind & Fire, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Steely Dan, The Carpenters and other great classics from the 1970s.

Each performance is much more than just a tribute concert: it is a joyful celebration of the music that defined an era.
