First and foremost (yes!), it’s still all about how the band plays, how Andrii Khlyvniuk sings, and whether that rock-and-roll magic is still alive or if it’s time to call it quits.

Equally important is what Andrii says from the stage. And trust us, he doesn’t hold back. If you're only here for "Vakhtory," you might want to stay home — don’t say we didn’t warn you.

A critical point: how much money the band brings in, where it’s spent, and how transparently they report on it.

And perhaps the most challenging part — the one the general audience doesn’t see: balancing ticket prices to avoid bankrupting fans, allowing promoters to make a living, and ensuring the band doesn’t come across as a bunch of freeloaders dreaming of lounging on a beach instead of working hard.
