The 200 km / h in the Wrong Lane Tour was the second concert tour of the Russian singing duo tATu.The duo often appeared in television programs such as Top of the Pops and the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 , as well as at many different events between the individual concerts which led to a considerable time gap between the respective concerts. A large part of the set concert dates were canceled or postponed, which caused some displeasure among the fans and lacked the character of a coherent concert tour. A total of 14 planned concerts did not take place.
First, nine concerts in Poland, which should have taken place between February 25 and March 6, were canceled, as well as a performance in St. Petersburg and Kiev . All concerts in the United Kingdom have also been canceled . Concerts at the Wembley Arena in London and the Manchester Arena in Manchester were planned for May 2nd, 4th and 6th, but there was little demand for them. Although tATu topped the UK charts for four weeks with their single All the Things She Said , only 3,000 of the 34,000 concert tickets on offer were sold. Many parents forbade their children to see the concerts because they thought they were indecent. The official reason given for the concert cancellation was Julija Volkova's illness , which made it impossible for her to sing high notes and could have ruined her voice forever. This illness had actually existed at this point in time, but would not have been a hindrance, since tATu back then almost exclusively used playback for their performances.
After their appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest in Riga , the two singers should actually give seven concerts in Germany, including in Berlin , Hamburg and Munich . These were supposed to take place several weeks earlier, but the two girls had not received an entry permit from the German authorities, which is why the neighboring European countries were visited first. Since Katina and Wolkowa were invited to the MTV Movie Awards 2003 on May 31st in Los Angeles and were supposed to perform there, the concerts had to be postponed. The Movie Awards were preferred to the concerts in Germany, as no Russian band had ever been invited to these prestigious celebrations. Therefore only the concert took place on May 27th in Saarbrücken, all others were postponed. On June 13, the concert on Bonn's Museum Square was rescheduled, all other concerts ultimately never took place.
A concert in Riga on June 14th was also canceled due to insufficient ticket sales. Three concerts in Israel were also canceled because the two singers also had problems getting an entry permit. All subsequent concerts took place as planned.
