SOLANA, the first world-class international open-air music festival in Central Asia, will take place in Almaty on 16 May 2026.
The festival will bring together world-renowned performers including Nicole Scherzinger, Timbaland, Flo Rida, Tyga, Busta Rhymes and Keri Hilson on one stage. Around 20,000 spectators are expected to attend, including approximately 7,000 tourists from CIS countries and neighbouring states.
The event is set to become one of the largest music festivals in the region and will contribute to the development of event tourism in Kazakhstan. The festival is also expected to boost demand for hotels, restaurants, tourism infrastructure and air travel services.
SOLANA is shaping a new model of tourism flow, where travelling to Kazakhstan becomes part of attending a major international event.
