An explosive device went off outside the city's House of Culture and Sport early on Wednesday evening before a Chechen concert was to begin.
The explosion killed seven and injured more than 40 people.
"As of 7:20 a.m. Moscow time [03:20 GMT], May 28, 31 people injured in Stavropol blast remain in hospitals, five of them are in critical condition, six - in serious condition, no one has died overnight," the rescue worker said.
A source in the city hospital said two people are still in the intensive care unit. One of them is an Azeri dancer, Rovshan Ismailov, 18, who was to perform in the Chechen ensemble, Vainakh.
The Stavropol Territory is the largest region in the North Caucasus Federal District, but has remained largely free of violence that occurs in the neighboring republics of Chechnya, Ingushetia and Dagestan.
