The Crocus City Hall (Russian: Крокус-Сити-холл) is 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.[1] The venue was developed by Crocus Group, owned by Aras Agalarov, and opened on 25 October 2009.[1] The venue has been closed since the Crocus City Hall attack on 22 March 2024, which killed at least 145 people, and whether or not it should reopen is being debated.[2]
Crocus refers to brightly colored, seasonal flowers that grow in the spring from a bulb.
The venue had a capacity of as much as 10,000 people.[2]
Notable performers at the venue have included Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Scorpions, Smokie, the Pet Shop Boys, Nazareth, a-ha, Sting, Lana Del Rey, Dua Lipa, 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.[2] It also was the location of the Top Hit Music Awards in several years and the Russian version of The Masked Singer.

On 22 March 2024, at around 20:00 MSK (UTC+3), at least 144 people were killed[3] and more than 551 injured[4] after four masked and camouflaged gunmen committed a mass shooting and set off multiple explosions at the venue.[5] Russia's Foreign Ministry called the incident a terrorist attack.[6] The Islamic State – Khorasan Province, a South-Central Asia-based regional affiliate of the Islamic State, claimed responsibility.[7][8]
In the aftermath of the attack, lawsuits were filed alleging fire safety code violations at the venue.[9]
