Picnic in concert at Ramenskoye, 2022

Picnic (Russian: Пикник), or Piknik, is a Russian rock band known for its unique style, a mixture of art rock, progressive rock and original Russian rock. The band was formed in 1978 in Leningrad,[1] though the members consider the band's official starting point to be Edmund Shklyarsky's arrival, in 1981, or the year the first album was recorded—1982.[2]

Some of their early songs are in Polish, due to Shklyarsky's paternal heritage.[3][4]

In 2016, the band was barred from playing in Ukraine due to their performance in Crimea after it was annexed by Russia.[5][6][7]

Music critic Andrei Burlaka notes the group as a cult phenomenon in Russian rock music.[8]

Picnic were set to perform at the Crocus City Hall on 22 March 2024 before a terrorist attack took place there, killing 145 people.[9][10] On the afternoon of 24 March, it became known that Ekaterina Kushner, the assistant to the director of the group, had died in the attack.[11]
