Also be sure to reference the POD Go Edit Pilot's Guide for full details—included with the POD Go Edit software, or available for download at Line 6 Product Common Terminology Manuals. While reading this manual, you may encounter several unfamiliar terms. It’s important to know what they mean. Block Blocks are objects that represent various elements of your tone, such as amps, cabs, effects, loopers, inputs, outputs, and impulse responses. POD Go can accommodate one amp/preamp block, one cab/IR block, a Wah block, a Volume pedal block, a Preset EQ block, an FX Loop block, and up to four additional effects blocks, all simultaneously. Model Each block can accommodate one model. POD Go includes over 70 guitar and bass amp models, 37 cab models, 16 mic models, and over 200 effects models. See page 13 for the complete lists of included models, and the gear they are based on. Preset A preset is your tone. It consists of all blocks, parameter settings, snapshots, footswitch assignments, and controller assignments. Send/ The stereo TRS Send and Return jacks are used to insert your favorite Return stompboxes anywhere in the signal flow, or for connecting to your guitar amp via 4-Cable Method - see "FX Loop Settings" on page 24. IR IRs (Impulse Responses) are mathematical functions representing the sonic measurements of audio systems and are most often used for cab tones. POD Go can store up to 128 custom or third-party IRs at a time.* See "Cab/IR" on page 15. 3 Top Panel

IMPORTANT! If the PHONES jack is connected, the MAIN OUT jacks will always be stereo, regardless of whether or not the RIGHT out is connected.

18. AMP OUT This unbalanced output is meant to send directly to the front of your guitar amp. By default, it reflects the same output as the MAIN outputs (except in mono), but it can be globally switched to be tapped off directly before the Cab/ IR block. This way, you can send a cab-emulated signal to your mixer (or FRFR speaker) while simultaneously sending a non-cab-emulated signal to your guitar amp.

6 Quick Start Hooking It All Up MAIN There are many ways to connect POD Go to other gear, and the following pages USB OUT illustrate only a few. POD Go with an Amp and/or Powered Speakers Depending on how complex your tones are, POD Go may be able to act as your entire processing rig, providing amp modeling, cab modeling or cab IRs (Impulse Responses), effects, looping, and even a tuner. When connecting POD Go to a powered speaker (or two powered speakers in stereo), POD Go in 4-Cable Method set the main outputs to line level. See "Global Settings > Ins/Outs". "4-Cable Method" is a popular and flexible way of hooking things up, allowing you You can connect an additional expression pedal or momentary footswitch—or with a Y to route some effects blocks (most often drives, distortions , wahs, and compressors) cable, two momentary type footswitches—to the POD Go EXP 2 | FS 7/8 jack. before your real amp's preamp and other effects blocks (often time-based effects like delays and reverbs) in its effects loop.

The octopuses can remember four separate Snapshots groups of on/off statuses and setting tweaks per preset (say, for your verse, chorus, solo, and overindulgent noise segue); that is, POD Go has four snapshots per preset. On Play and Edit views, a small camera icon appears on the right side of the screen. Each of the four snapshots in POD Go stores and recalls the state of certain elements Its number indicates the current snapshot. in the current preset, including: • Block Bypass—The bypass (on/off) state of all processing blocks (except 1 Loopers) NOTE: The bypass state of blocks is automatically stored and recalled per snapshot. Optionally, you can exclude a block's bypass state from being affected by snapshots by choosing Off for the Snapshot Bypass option— available for the selected block by pressing ACTION while in Edit view. • Parameter Control—The values of any parameters assigned to controllers (up to 64 per preset), including the Snapshot controller • Tempo—The current system tempo, if "Global Settings > MIDI/Tempo" > What are Snapshots? Tempo Select is set to "Per Snapshot." (By default, it's set to "Per Preset") Snapshots are presets within a preset. Depending on how you configure them, snapshots can act as four variations of the Imagine you have eight pet octopuses, all slithering around your amp and pedalboard. same tone, four drastically different tones, or any combination thereof—all within the Instead of tap-dancing on your pedals (and accidentally stepping on a tentacle), you same preset. In many cases, a single preset's snapshots may accommodate all the shout "Okay, gang—here's the verse... now!" and your octopuses switch some pedals various tones required for a song. on, switch other pedals off, and tweak all your amps and pedals' knobs to make the best possible settings for your song's verse, all seamlessly with spillover delay and reverb trails. Then you shout "Ready for the chorus... now!" and your octopuses Using Snapshots instantly tweak everything for your song's chorus. That's the power of snapshots. 1. From Preset footswitch mode, press and together to enter Snapshot mode. 2. Step on A, B, C, or D to select a different Snapshot (1, 2, 3, or 4). 3. Adjust the preset by doing one or more of the following: • Turn one or more effects on or off by pressing stomp mode footswitches or pressing the Upper Knob in "Edit View". Snapshots remember every block's on/off state. • To adjust a parameter AND have it automatically update per snapshot, press and turn the knob. Snapshots remember the values of up to 64 effects parameters. The parameter's value appears white and in brackets, indicating a controller's assigned to it—in this case, the Snapshots controller:

Saving Snapshots Press and ACTION together twice to save the preset. Saving a preset stores all of its 4 snapshots automatically.

NOTE: Selecting a preset recalls the snapshot that was active when the preset was saved. Tips for Creative Snapshot Use

• The obvious use case for snapshots is designating them to specific sections of your song. For example, Snapshot 1 could be the Intro, Snapshot 2 might be Verse 1, Snapshot 3 might be the Chorus, and so on. • Turn any Delay, Reverb, and/or FX Loops blocks' Trails parameter to "On" for seamless spillover between snapshots. • Worried that further tweaking might make your tone worse, not better? Snapshots are a great way to compare minor changes between tones without having to take your hands off the guitar. • Set different keys in Harmony Delay blocks or intervals in Pitch blocks per snapshot. • Having difficulty maintaining consistent volume throughout a song? Set one of the effects' Gain or Level parameter per snapshot. • Exclude a block's bypass from being affected by snapshots by setting its Snapshot Bypass to Off (while in Edit view, select the block and press ACTION). • Alternatively, you can change snapshots via USB MIDI. See "MIDI CC" on page 39.

USB 3/4 block is set to USB 3/4) For Mac computers and Apple iPad or iPhone mobile devices, there is no Line 6 driver installation necessary—POD Go supports the class compliant driver, which operates at 24-bit/48kHz sample rate. Hardware Monitoring vs. DAW Software For details on driver support with the latest Windows and Mac operating systems, please visit line6.com/support. Monitoring POD Go provides hardware monitoring, which lets you hear your live input signal at all times, independent of your DAW software's monitor settings. Hardware monitoring can be desirable since it allows you to hear your live guitar with processing added and essentially "latency-free," since the monitor signal is not routed through your DAW software. In some DAW recording scenarios, it may be preferable to utilize your recording application's "input monitoring" or "software monitoring" feature, which routes your live input signal through the armed recording track, thus allowing you to monitor the input effected by any plug-ins you may have inserted on the track. The one downside USB OUTPUTS of DAW software monitoring, however, is that your live input signal will be delayed USB INPUTS slightly due to being routed through the software and back to POD Go's outputs, 1/2 3/4 1 2 3 4 which is referred to as "latency." POD Go is designed to provide very low latency operation— see "ASIO Driver Settings (Windows only)" for info and settings. When a DAW track's software monitoring is active, you'll likely not want to YouTube, Spotify, etc. Jamming with simultaneously hear the POD Go hardware monitoring signal. To achieve this, it is best to use the POD Go USB 3/4 inputs as your DAW audio track’s input source, and to select the Main L/R Output block on POD Go and turn its Level all the way down. This 16C Two–Plus Decades 1 configuration allows you to hear and record only the dry, DI signal from POD Go into your audio track. (See the next section for more on recording a DI track.)

set to USB 3/4 Input block DI Recording and Re-amping Input Guitar A common DAW recording technique is to record a dry DI (Direct Input) signal, such as MAIN OUT GUITAR IN the unprocessed signal from your guitar. This lets you process the DI track later with LEFT/MONO RIGT Off -48.0dB 500ms plug-ins (such as the Helix Native plug-in), and/or "re-amp" the DI track through an amp or other outboard gear . POD Go has handy options built right in for recording DI Input Gate Threshold Decay tracks, as well as for easy re-amplification of DI tracks back through your own POD Go tones, all without extra hardware or cabling!

DI (Dry) Signal for Re-amping POD Go offers two special DI outputs—USB Outs 3 and 4, which are fed directly from the GUITAR IN. 35 Recording a Dry DI Track Re-amping Through POD Go For this example, we'll record guitar onto two DAW tracks simultaneously—one Now let's take the dry DI guitar track we recorded and route its playback back through capturing the processed tone and the other the unprocessed (dry) DI guitar.

Line 6 POD Go Review: Is It Worth It?

Table of Contents

The Line 6 POD Go is a multi-FX floor processor. It’s designed to provide amp modeling, effects, cabs, and more in a small, portable enclosure.

This new POD features Line 6 modern technology in a platform that is not a recreation of the Helix. But a new philosophy that takes the guesswork out of setting up.

It’s easy to use thanks to the pre-assigned functionality. Getting to a great sound is so much faster and straightforward.

Let’s have a look at some key features!

Helix amp or preamp models.
Helix cabs or your own IRs.
4X4 USB audio interface.
Onboard stomp box FX.
Semi fixed signal path.
Stereo FX loop built in.
Intuitive controls.
Small and portable.

Who is it For?

Guitarists looking for a user-friendly processor should consider the Line 6 POD Go. It’s an excellent option for most players. It’s a portable solution that can offer a wide range of tones. You could even put it on your pedal board!

Beginners and intermediate guitarists will appreciate the Line 6 POD Go. Especially for its comprehensive range of amp and effects models.

Its intuitive interface and user-friendly design make it easy to navigate. It’s too simple to dial in your desired sound. All without getting bogged down in complex menus or confusing settings.

The Line 6 POD Go can also be a useful tool for recording in a home studio. It enables you to quickly record high-quality guitar tones directly into your DAW. And without the need for additional equipment thanks to its direct recording capabilities.

Sound Performance

So now you know a bit about the features. The biggest question would be, how does the POD Go sound?

For these test, I used two guitars:

PRS SE Custom 24 for heavier tones.
Fender Deluxe Nashville telecaster for low to mid-gain tone.

There are over 270+ amp, stomp, and cab models built into this unit. It’s a huge playground, and I couldn’t get through all of them! But one thing is for sure, the models I did use sound great!

The heavier tones sounded great with the PRS. Compared to a tube amp, they come somewhat close to the real thing.

With the added effects and some great cab simulations, I was really enjoying some of the sounds that I’d dialed in. They had the aggressive sound I wanted, but kind of sound two-dimensional.

The Fender Telecaster for low to mid-gain sounds was a really sweet sound. I preferred the more vintage sounds as they had a different feel.

I was able to get a different vibe from the POD Go in the lower gain stuff than the heavier tones. Likewise, I almost feel like the heavier sounds were missing a bit of the same vibe.

Don’t get me wrong, they still sounded great, but as a tube amp user, I think that is where DSP might be lacking a little. But overall, this is a perfect little unit that has some great sounds.

The Line 6 Helix is a favorite to many players because of the great sounds built in. The POD Go is loaded with the same great models found in the Helix. And it is true, they are great sounds from amps to cabs to effects!

This little unit is fun to play with and sounds good. The video below will demonstrate some of these sounds that I speak of. Check it out!

Solid build quality.
Tons of models.
Great Helix based sounds.
Customizable effects and signal blocks.
Real Effects Loop and amp connections.
Direct recording capable.
Some of the more powerful features from the Helix are not found in the Pod Go.

External Hardware

The POD Go is 5.2 Lbs and is super light! It is a portable unit measuring 14″ wide, 9″ deep, and 3.5″ high, making it easy to carry around. It is smaller than the POD HD500X.

The controls are very sturdy. The switches feel great and come equipped with color change rings like the Helix.

This is a great feature that allows you to remember what is stored on each switch. The rotary knobs and encoders are also quite sturdy and do not feel cheap when used.

The expression pedal built-in is smooth when used and the enclosure is steel, making it a durable unit. There have been concerns with plastic units in the past, but the POD Go is built sturdy. And rest assured, the color LCD is bright and clear!

Channels and Controls

The POD Go is quite easy to use, and the controls are intuitive. Each button has a color ring that coincides with the effect colors that Line 6 designated. This makes it easy to know what is assigned to the button.

The Rotary controls allow you to cycle through the different pages and blocks. This makes it easy to set up your rig within the POD Go signal path.

The rotary knobs then allow you to adjust all the different settings within the blocks. For example, once you select an amp or preamp model. You can use the rotary encoders to adjust your EQ like any other amp.

There are a ton of amp and stomp-type effect models built into the POD Go! While the controls are easy to use and understand, it will take some time to get used to the options.

Digital Cabinets And IRS

The Line 6 POD Go comes with built-in speaker cabinet models that you can choose from. They have come from the Helix and are proven to sound great by players all over the world.

I enjoyed the sounds from the built-in cabinets, but the really cool feature is that you can also load your own!

By switching your cabinet over to the IR options, you have access to load your own cabs or use some made by others. So if you have favorites that you collected over the years, the POD Go will allow you to use them!

Expression Pedal

The POD Go comes equipped with an expression pedal that is quite sturdy. This gives you the ability to alter the volume of your signal or inject some great Wah or rotary effects!

I found the expression pedal to be a great built-in feature with this unit! In fact, with the number of effects built into this machine, it would be odd not to have it.

There is also the option to add a second expression pedal by plugging it into the connector on the rear of the POD Go. For this review, I did not use it.

Stereo loop

The POD Go has a real stereo effects loop built into the unit, and it sounds great! This allows you to use your own stomps or effects with the unit.

We all have our favorite effects, and so luckily the POD Go has a built-in loop. A really cool feature with the POD Go is that you can assign the loop anywhere you want in the signal chain.

This offers some real flexibility. Especially when it comes to setting up your effects within your presets. And the fact that it is a stereo loop adds some great versatility.

Another great feature of the POD Go is the ability to create snapshots! Snapshots let you create different variations of presets.

If you wanted to have different sounds, you can create snapshots and change between them on the fly. This is a pretty powerful feature and is easy to set up and use with the press of a button.

Built In Looper

The POD Go also features a looper that can be configured as mono or stereo. Simply select the looper to be part of one of the four effects blocks and set it up according to your needs.

Duration, playback, and low and high cut among other things can be tailored to best fit your sound. It’s a very versatile feature!

POD Go Connectivity

Another cool benefit of the POD Go is the ability to use it in the 4 cable method configuration in a rig! By connecting it this way and setting the blocks up.

You can have effects before and after your amplifier’s preamp. Just imagine the power of the POD Go with your favorite tube amp.

Notable Competitor

Another modeler that is quite good is the Neural DSP Quad Cortex. I have done a thorough review on this one too. And so once you finish checking out the Line 6 Pod Go, have a look! It’s probably some of the most advanced DSP that exists in guitar amp modelers today.

Final Verdict

The POD Go is a great new addition to the Line 6 catalog. It is very easy to learn to use and has some great sounds and features. For the price, you really cannot go wrong here. It can simplify your rig when you need something small, light, and easy to carry around.

If you own a Helix, you might be disappointed as some of the more powerful features are not found in the POD Go. Although that was the plan according to Line 6. They went for a simple-to-use multi-effect processor with a smaller price tag.

I give this unit a thumbs up! There is a ton of things it can do and so many features that any player would benefit greatly! The new POD Go will surely take this line in a great new direction!

What effects does POD Go have?

The POD Go is loaded with as many effects as you will ever need. With each effect type, you have the ability to select many types. For base effects, the POD go includes:

Distortion.
Pitch/Synth.

And so much more! If you perform with a tube amp, the POD Go can be connected to the loop in 4 cable method. You can then take advantage of the many effects this unit has to offer.

Is the POD Go a mini helix?

Not Necessarily. The POD Go and helix are set up a bit differently. The POD Go does have some of the same types of effects and a lot of the models, but the Helix offers far more. If you already own the Helix, the POD Go would be a bit of a downgrade.

Line 6 Pod Go Wireless review

Line 6’s travel and stage friendly amp modeller loses the wires and expands the reach of those classy helix sounds.

MusicRadar Verdict

With or without the wireless capability, the POD Go is a classy piece of kit, with a considerable amount of processing power and superb sounds.

Compact, easy to use, and wireless.

Great range of quality Helix tones.

128 user presets.

Good value.

Other Line 6 modellers offer more flexible signal chains.

If you don't need wireless, the regular POD Go is the exact same unit, and cheaper.

Line 6 Pod Go Wireless: What is it?

There is a bewildering array of floor-based amp modellers and multi-effects pedals out there. The technology has matured to the point where the quality of the emulations is such that it has loosened our umbilical bond with our analogue guitar amp , and applications seem endless.

We have seen modelling tech on rack-mounted units, practice amps , floorboard devices large and small, and even in the rise of the headphones amplifier. The common denominator in all of these products is convenience and choice.

But let’s not forget, this is the 21st century, why go to all that effort in designing all this algorithmic tone and digital voodoo only to find ourselves tethered to a cable? That’s the conundrum the Line 6 POD Go Wireless looks to solve.

It looks familiar, sure. It’s the same compact compendium of amp models and effects, the same enclosure to the regular POD Go, only there is an in-built Relay G10 unit to let nothing get in between you and your performance. Well, nothing in the shape of a cable at least.

As you may well know, the POD Go is from the affordable end of the Line 6 modelling range. There have to be some concessions to budget, and so the enclosure comprises more plastic than the high-end Helix units. The trade-off is that the modelling on offer is similarly generous, with 85 guitar and bass amp models, 39 cab sims, 16 mic emulations and over 210 effects.

You can also store up to 128 of your own IRs, custom or third-party, on the unit. There’s a lot of functionality. Now, it’s not quite as versatile as the Helix models. You can’t split and merge signal chains between presets; your signal goes into a chain, gets processed and comes back out.

As it does, it can pass through 10 blocks, six of which are ever-present – Wah, Volume, FX loop, Amp/Preamp, Cab/IR and Preset EQ. Another four can be chosen from Distortion, Dynamics, EQ, Modulation, Delay, Reverb, Pitch/Synth, Filter and Looper and placed anywhere you like in that chain.

Don’t think Line 6 has left you having to come up with all the presets yourself. Besides your 128 user presets, there are another 128 from the factory. It’s a great place to start.

Line 6 has always prided itself on intuitive design and the POD Go is no different. The user experience is superb. Editing is a breeze. And if you are new to these units, and find the number of options and how they can be arranged an intimidating prospect, we’d wager that it will take you no time to be creating your own signal chains and storing them away.

There is some editing software on hand to help, too, with the POD Go computer-based editor and librarian accessed via USB and a neat way of quickly getting down to business.

Line 6 Pod Go Wireless: Perfomance and verdict

With any of these tricksy floor-based modelling units, the best place to start is with the presets. Not only do they give you a feel for how the unit works, but it also gives you a taste of how much is possible, and the quality of the sounds is incredible.

All styles are catered for. You could be a death metal enthusiast Mon-Fri but play reggae sets at the weekend and the POD Go will have you covered. The POD Go is designed to be used as a fly-rig if required but you can also use it as a de facto pedalboard and hook it up through your guitar amp as such.

• Line 6 HX Stomp XL A sensible, practical and ultimately exhilarating take on the Helix Stomp format, the XL's extra footswitches makes it more naturally suited to live performances than its smaller counterpart and yet it is still respectful of that most precious 21st-century commodity – pedalboard real estate. It's a triumph.

• HeadRush Gigboard If amp sounds are more important to you than effects, we’d plump for the Gigboard over its competitors - although we’d argue it handles cleaner tones better than higher gain settings. Provided it fits your sonic bill, this is a pro-level piece of kit that will simplify the way you record and play live.

It has a range of connections on the rear of the unit to extend its functionality. There is an effects loop for incorporating your pedalboard of favourite hardware fuzz and overdrive pedals. There’s a 1/4” input for a guitar cable – should you prefer that – that doubles as a charger for the Relay G10T transmitter.

The POD Go has an integrated expression pedal that can be assigned to control volume, wah or a user-defined mix of parameters, and a toe-switch lets you toggle between EXP1 and EXP2 modes, with an LED to let you know which is active. But there is an EXP2 input on the back of the unit for connection an auxiliary expression pedal that saves you toggling between the two.

Even without the wireless connectivity freeing you up to go full Angus Young when playing the Dog And Duck the POD Go is designed with performance in mind. The onboard expression pedal and eight footswitches offer plenty of options for putting a set together – all the sounds you need can be easily accessed.

The POD Go automatically powers up in Preset mode, with each bank assigning presets to footswitches A, B, C and D. All you need to do to access more from another bank is use the Up and Down footswitches, then refer to your A-to-D footswitches for the appropriate sound. Simple.

There is, however, a Mode footswitch that can place the unit into Stomp mode. This effectively turns each preset into a pedalboard with the unit mapping out the preset’s active effects on the footswitches. The LED rings around each switch are colour-coded, so it is easy to see when onstage which corresponds to which effect.

Alternatively, there is Snapshots mode. Accessed via simultaneously pressing the Up and Down switches, this allows you to access presets within a master preset with zero latency. You are simply cycling through versions of that same preset, adjusting up to 64 different parameter settings among all the amps and effects.

Snapshots works very well for switching from a rhythm to lead tone, keeping the core of your sound intact but switching to a secondary snapshot preset where the parameters are adjusted, perhaps to add a longer delay or more drive during a solo, or to take an overdrive off for a clean part.

As for the mechanics of the wireless system, the POD Go arrives with a Relay GT10 that should fit into most guitars’ sockets, and can be stored in a recessed area at the back of the unit when not needed. All in, you get around seven hours of playing time from the transmitter.

The POD Go’s display is bright and clear, and it also displays the battery life left in the transmitter, flashing red when there is only 30 minutes remaining. Now, many players, particularly those with the second name Tufnell, might be a little wary of wireless units, but the performance here is excellent, especially when standing in view of the unit but you can really go mobile and get out of the room with it too.

The signal is strong and bright. Indeed, it’s brighter than it would be with your guitar cable’s capacitance trimming off a little high-end, but there is an HF roll-off on hand if your sound is too sharp.

One omission is that of a wireless connection for headphones. That would have been very handy for silent practice on the go, but for the price, the POD Go Wireless is hard to beat. The quality of the sounds remains hugely impressive, and the layout makes it an eminently accessible piece of tech.

MusicRadar verdict: With or without the wireless capability, the POD Go is a classy piece of kit, with a considerable amount of processing power and superb sounds.

Line 6 Pod Go Wireless: The web says

“If you’re just going to have one floor pedal and you find the prices of the Helix range are out of reach then the POD Go may be your ideal purchase. Okay, there’s less flexibility, but that can also translate as being easier to use – and its compact, easily portable size and built-in treadle are real plus points.

“As with others in this genre, it’s a versatile unit that lends itself to onstage use into the PA or in front of your amp, whether standalone or integrated into a larger pedal rig. It’s also got everything you need for home practice and recording, too, including a 24-bit audio interface for recording and a one- or six-switch looper.” Guitarist

Theatres in Moscow

Cultural life of Moscow city is various and rich! Operas, ballets, symphonic concerts... Russian composers have created some of the most beautiful classical music. Russian classical music is very popular in Moscow. It is performed in many beautiful historical venues.

There are almost no restrictions on dress code in Russian theatres. Visitors may wear jeans and sports shoes, they may have a backpack with them. Only shorts are not allowed.

A typical feature of Russian theatre – visitors are bringing a lot of flowers which they present to their favorite performers after the show.

Here are some practical advices where to go and how to buy tickets.

The Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the oldest, the most famous and popular opera and ballet theatre in Russia. The word “Bolshoi” means “big” in Russian. You can buy a ticket online in advance, 2-3 months before the date of performance on the official website . Prices for famous ballets are high: 6-8 thousand rubles for a seat in stalls. Tickets to operas are cheaper: you can get a good seat for 4-5 thousand rubles. Tickets are cheaper for daytime performances and performances on the New Stage. The New Stage is situated in the light-green building to the left of the Bolshoi's main building. The quality of operas and ballets shown on the New Stage is excellent too. However, you should pay attention that many seats of the Bolshoi’s Old and New Stages have limited visibility . If you want to see the Bolshoi’s Old Stage but all tickets are sold out, you can order a tour of the theatre. You can book such a tour on the official website.

If you want, following Russian tradition, to give flowers to the performers at the end of the show, in the Bolshoi flowers should be presented via special staff who collects these flowers in advance.

In August the Bolshoi is closed.

Moscow concert attack: More than 60 reported dead; ISIS claims responsibility

This live blog has ended. For the most recent updates, please click here .

What we know about the Moscow concert attack

Men in camouflage broke into a Moscow concert hall and opened fire, shooting an unknown number of people, Russia’s prosecutor general said.
The terror group ISIS has claimed responsibility but did not provide proof of the claim, which was made on ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq on Telegram.
Russia's Investigative Committee said that more than 60 people are dead after the attack at Crocus City Hall. Officials have said more than 100 others were injured.
A fire also started inside Crocus City Hall, a large concert venue northwest of central Moscow. Firefighters have evacuated about 100 people from the basement of the building and efforts are underway to rescue people from the roof, Russian emergency officials said.
Russia officials said they were investigating the attack as a terrorist act.
A popular rock band was scheduled to play what appeared to be a sold-out show at the venue, which has a maximum capacity of more than 9,000 people.

Three children among those killed, state media reports

Chantal Da Silva

Three children were among the more than 60 people killed in yesterday's attack at Crocus City Hall, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported, citing the Russian Ministry of Health.

Officials have warned that the death toll connected to the deadly incident may increase as the investigation continues.

Xi sends condolences to Putin

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent condolences to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday after a deadly shooting at a concert hall near Moscow, saying China opposes all forms of terrorism and strongly condemns terrorist attacks.

China firmly supports the Russian government’s efforts to maintain national security and stability, Xi said, according to CCTV state television.

Moscow bloodshed comes two decades after some of worst attacks in Russia

Phil Helsel

The shooting attacks in Moscow are the latest in a series of deadly terror attacks in the country since the 2000s.

In 2004, militants from Chechnya and elsewhere took hostages at a school in Beslan in southern Russia.

The militants demanded a withdrawal from Chechnya. Hostages were kept in a gymnasium, and 334 died — half of them children — when gunfire and explosions erupted when it was stormed. Hostages’ families were critical of the rescue operation. Russian prosecutors later cleared authorities .

Two years prior, in 2002, Chechen separatists attacked the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow and took more than 700 people hostage. Russian forces used gas, and 129 hostages died. The attackers were killed.

More recently, in 2017 a suicide bomber from Kyrgyzstan killed 15 people as well as himself in an attack on a St. Petersburg subway. In 2013, two bombers killed a combined 34 people in attacks on a railway station and a trolleybus in Volgograd.

The group Islamic State, also known as ISIS, claimed responsibility for the attacks Friday at the Crocus City Hall venue.

Putin wishes victims well, deputy prime minister says

President Vladimir Putin is thinking of those injured in today’s attack and thanked doctors, a Russian government official said according to state media.

State media TASS reported that “Putin wished all those injured in the emergency at Crocus City Hall to recover and conveyed his gratitude to the doctors, Golikova said,” referring to Tatiana Golikova deputy prime minister for social policy, labor, health and pension provision.

More than 60 dead, and death toll could grow, Russian agency says

Russia’s Investigative Committee said Saturday that more than 60 people have died in the attack, and warned the number may increase.

“The bodies of the dead are being examined. It has been previously established that more than 60 people died as a result of the terrorist attack. Unfortunately, the number of victims may increase,” according to the Investigative Committee, which is a federal state agency.

Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs and the security agency FSB are continuing to investigate, the committee said in a statement, and weapons and ammunition have been found.

U.S. warned Russia about planned terrorist attack in Moscow, NSC says

Monica Alba

The United States shared information about a potential terrorist attack in Moscow with Russia’s government earlier this month, a spokesperson for the National Security Council said.

The U.S. Embassy in Russia on March 7 warned U.S. citizens to avoid crowds and said it was monitoring reports that extremists might attack large gatherings in Moscow.

“Earlier this month, the U.S. Government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow — potentially targeting large gatherings, to include concerts — which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia,” NSC spokesperson Adrienne Watson said.

“The U.S. Government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy,” Watson said.

Putin recently dismissed ‘provocative’ warning about potential attacks

In remarks that aired three days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of “provocative statements” about potential terror attacks in Russia, and dismissed them.

“I’ll remind you of recent, let’s say directly, provocative statements of certain official Western structures about potential terror attacks in Russia,” Putin said.

“All of this looks like obvious blackmail and an attempt to intimidate, destabilize our country,” he said before the state security agency FSB.

Putin in those remarks did not specify a country or warning. The U.S. embassy in Russia on March 7 warned U.S. citizens to avoid crowds .

“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” the U.S. embassy warned.

Guards at concert hall didn't have guns, state news says

The Associated Press

Guards at the concert hall didn’t have guns, and some could have been killed at the start of the attack, Russian media reported.

Some Russian news outlets suggested the assailants fled before special forces and riot police arrived.

Reports said police patrols were looking for several vehicles the attackers could have used to escape.

U.S. had been gathering intelligence that ISIS could attack Russia

Ken Dilanian

The U.S. had been gathering intelligence for months that ISIS could mount a mass casualty attack in Russia, two U.S. officials confirmed to NBC News.

That information led to a March 7 warning issued by the U.S. embassy in Russia about possible extremist attacks, including at concerts, urging people to stay away from large gatherings, one of the officials said.

That official said the claim of responsibility today by ISIS appears to be genuine, though no final assessment had been made about who was responsible.

Some Moscow concertgoers filmed events as they unfolded Friday night, when gunmen opened fire inside a theater and people ran to take cover in fear for their lives.

Witness says gunfire was first thought to be construction noise

A witness to today’s armed attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall told a state news agency that they first mistook the gunfire for sounds of an installation being dismantled.

“First, we started hearing typical loud pops, but it was impossible to understand that they were gunshots. We thought that something was falling, as exhibitions were being dismantled at that moment, and someone seemed to be dropping something large,” Mikhail Semyonov told TASS .

“Then, the bangs were getting more and more frequent. Suddenly, there was a scream, and the bangs started to be heard as bursts. Then it became clear that it was shooting,” he said.

ISIS claims responsibility for attack but does not provide proof

The terror group Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack in Moscow.

The group, also known as ISIS, did not provide any proof of its claim, which came from ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq on Telegram.

The group’s members have carried out a number of terror attacks, including the 2015 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.

Children among the victims, Russia's children commissioner says

Yuliya Talmazan

Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, said children were among the victims of tonight's attack.

"Information about their condition is regularly updated," Lvova-Belova said on Telegram. "Any additional assistance will be provided immediately."

She later told Russia 24 TV channel that at least two children had been injured, including one boy with a gunshot wound.

Earlier, Russian officials released a preliminary casualty toll of at least 40 people dead and more than 100 injured.

France, U.K., Germany condemn attack

Officials from France, the U.K. and Germany were among those who expressed their condolences to the victims of the attack at the Crocus concert hall.

"The images of the terrible attack on innocent people in Crocus City Hall near #Moscow are horrific," Germany's Foreign Office said on X . "The background must be investigated quickly. Our deepest condolences with the families of the victims."

"We condemn the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow," the U.K.'s embassy in Russia said . "This is a terrible tragedy."

Meanwhile, France's foreign ministry called for "full light" to be shed on "these heinous acts."

Public events across Russia called off after attack

Several regional leaders across Russia, including in the annexed Kherson region of Ukraine, have canceled public events this weekend over security considerations after the deadly concert attack in Moscow.

Shortly after the attack, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin canceled all sports, cultural and other public events in Moscow this weekend. State news agency TASS also quoted Russia's cultural ministry as saying that mass and entertainment events in federal cultural institutions have been canceled in the coming days.

Zelenskyy adviser speaks out about attack

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s adviser denied that Ukraine was involved in the deadly Crocus concert hall attack.

“Ukraine certainly has nothing to do with the shooting/explosions in the Crocus City Hall (Moscow Region, Russia),” Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on X. “It makes no sense whatsoever.”

No evidence has emerged to suggest Ukraine may have been involved, but Ukrainian officials may be trying to pre-empt accusations, as some Kremlin hawks have already started pointing at Kyiv.

Asked whether the shooting was at all tied to the war in Ukraine, U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said: “There is no indication at this time that Ukraine, or Ukrainians, were involved in the shooting, but again, this just broke. We’re taking a look at it, but I would disabuse you at this early hour have any connection to Ukraine.”

Videos posted to social media appear to show chaos inside Moscow's Crocus City Hall during and after a terrorist attack.

Some videos include what sound like gunshots and show men with rifles, as concertgoers frantically try to exit the venue.

State Department issues warning to Americans in Moscow

Jason Abbruzzese

The State Department said that the U.S. Embassy in Moscow is aware of the terrorist attack on Crocus City Hall and that U.S. citizens should avoid the area and follow the instructions of local authorities.

"The U.S. government’s ability to provide routine or emergency services to U.S. citizens in Russia is severely limited, particularly in areas far from the U.S. embassy in Moscow, due to Russian government limitations on travel for U.S. embassy personnel and staffing, and the ongoing suspension of operations, including consular services, at U.S. consulates in Russia," the State Department said in a message posted to its website .
