Astana
On 17 May 2026, Astana will host the international music festival SOLANA, the largest world-class open-air music project in Central Asia.
The festival will feature global stars including Nicole Scherzinger, Timbaland, Flo Rida, Tyga, Busta Rhymes and Keri Hilson. The organisers expect around 30,000 attendees, including approximately 4,000 international visitors.
The festival will contribute to promoting Kazakhstan as a leading destination for event tourism and the international live entertainment industry. The large-scale event is expected to generate an additional influx of tourists, increase hotel occupancy, and drive demand for restaurants, transport services and domestic travel.
SOLANA is set to become one of the key international events of 2026, further strengthening Kazakhstan’s position as a venue for major global music festivals.
