The band is scheduled to play at the Russian Maxidrom Festival at 1:30 PM. The festival starts late so the acts have been pushed back.

A couple of hours earlier, Camila Grey had tweeted that she was unable to perform at the festival due to an illness that kept her in the United States. As Zac Baird who plays for Korn happens to be playing at the same festival, there is some speculation if he will be taking her place for this concert. He subsequently tweets: "...i think they have it covered. but i will be standing by and in their corner."

At about 2:30 PM, the band begins performing.

• "Down the Rabbit Hole" is a hot mess with Adam forgetting the lyrics for half the song. He makes up for it by wailing his way though the song...which kind of works!
• This rock version of "Whataya Want for Me" features some new amazing improvisations towards the end. One of the hottest live versions of the song to date.
• "Fever" contains some crazy high notes not unlike the UK GNT versions.
• "Sleepwalker" in this Moscow concert is one of the best versions of the song ever, with some ridiculous improvisations after the guitar solo, all the way to the end.
• "Whole Lotta Love" today is electric and similar to the standard arrangement. The audience though, appears to be a good mixture of fans and non-fans watching him perform for the first time. In the video below, it is clear that some male audience members are clearly enjoying the song from their headbanging :P
