Gogol Bordello Live in Kansas City

Gogol Bordello brings its theatrical live show to Kansas City as part of a persistent touring schedule. The band, formed on Manhattan's Lower East Side, blends Romani and Ukrainian music with punk and dub, built around accordion and violin. Their stage shows are high-energy and dramatic, led by frontman Eugene Hütz and an international lineup of musicians.

Taking its name from Ukrainian writer Nikolai Gogol, the band carries a mission to bring Eastern European sounds to English-speaking audiences. The group has released six full-length albums, appeared in films including Everything Is Illuminated, and toured with Primus, Flogging Molly, and Cake. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Hütz has used the band's platform to raise relief funds. Expect a raucous, cross-cultural set from a band that has spent decades turning its roots into a party.
