Solana Fest International Festival in Almaty: Music Legends at the Central Stadium

Almaty's Central Stadium, one of the city's most significant sports venues, hosted the Solana Fest International Festival in May 2026. This event brought together renowned artists such as Flo Rida, Tyga, and Timbaland. Built between 1955 and 1958 by architects Adambek Kapanov and A.Ya. Kossov, the stadium seats 23,804 spectators and is located in the city center.

The Central Stadium has a rich history. In its early years, speed skating competitions were held here, and in 1964, seven all-Union and two world records were set. The stadium has undergone several renovations throughout its history: in 1997, the running tracks and seats were updated before the 2nd Central Asian Games, and in 2002, after Kazakhstan joined UEFA, the infrastructure was modernized.

A major renovation in 2009–2010, costing 3 billion tenge, included replacing the turf with a modern one made of synthetic fibers and updating the equipment. The stadium received certification from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), allowing it to host international competitions.

The modern infrastructure of the Central Stadium includes 1,400 lux lighting systems for evening events, halls for various sports, and a 200-bed hotel. The 105x68 meter football field is equipped with an automatic heating and irrigation system.
