Crocus City Hall in the Moscow region, the scene of a deadly shooting and fire claimed by Islamic State, is a plush concert venue where former US president Donald Trump once held a Miss Universe contest.
It is a short walk from a Moscow Metro station and just next to Moscow city ring road, although formally it is outside the city limits.
The complex that also includes a shopping centre and conference centre holds events such as motor shows. At least 40 people were killed in the shooting on Friday.
The relatively intimate concert venue has attracted a range of Russian and international stars.
British comedian-turned-politician Eddie Izzard performed a solo show in English there in 2013.
Piknik, who were set to perform on Friday, are a popular rock group dating back to the Soviet era.
The venue was built by property developer Aras Agalarov, who is extremely well known and influential in Russia and has links to Trump.
Agalarov, 68, was born in Azerbaijan but is a Russian citizen.
