The first concert took place in San Francisco, the second in Los Angeles, and the third in Sacramento.[3][4] In 2017, Anytchka took part in the social and artistic project #War Songs. As part of the project, she recorded the song "There will be a time of peace" together with military pilot Serhiy Titarenko.[5]
