Idolatrous initiatives: how to get to the concert of J. Lo and Guns N' Roses
After Russian Kristina Lefterova forced Justin Timberlake to announce at a concert that she was looking for a fiance, many of her compatriots were tempted to follow her example. World stars rarely come to Russia, it is difficult to travel to a number of countries, but Izvestia found out where in the near future it is relatively possible to find themselves next to foreign idols on a budget without putting a visa in a passport. Well, each such concert can be used for something so that the money for the ticket (still quite a lot) is not wasted.
Dance with Lopez
If Justin Timberlake is the idol of girls, then men usually go where there is someone like Jennifer Lopez. J.Lo's world tour "Up All Night — LIVE IN 2025" (timed to coincide with the release of the long-awaited album This Is Me... Now) It covers a number of countries where it is quite possible to travel from Russia. Suitable locations include Serbia, the United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey and Latin America.
On August 7, J.Lo will perform at the Milliy Stadium in Tashkent. The cost of tickets for the Tashkent concert ranges from 800 thousand soums (5.2 thousand rubles) to 4.1 million soums (26.8 thousand rubles).
Almaty will become another point of the singer's tour route. Tickets for the concert on August 10 at the Central Stadium of this city can be purchased from 15 280 tng (2.3 thousand rubles) to 406 350 tng (61 thousand rubles).
The legendary band Backstreet Boys will also come to Kazakhstan on tour. On September 21, the Astana Arena stadium in the capital, priced from 13,000 to 42,000 rubles, invites fans of the grown-up boy band. It is possible that there you will be able to find a romantic companion or companion — maybe not quite young, but definitely full of all those virtues that are sung in the hits of the Backstreet Boys.
Some people like it heavier
Brutal adult men gather at Guns N' Roses concerts. The band recently announced the second leg of their 2025 world tour, with new shows scheduled for the fall in Mexico, Central and South America. As part of an additional 13 concerts, the band will take the stage in October, starting the tour in Costa Rica and continuing on October 4 at the Cuscatian Stadium in San Salvador. On October 14, Guns N' Roses will be in Chile at the Nacional Stadium in Santiago, and on October 17 in Argentina at the Huracan Stadium in Buenos Aires. Then the group will go to Brazil, which is in great demand among Russian tourists now. The tour in Mexico will end: on November 8, Guns N' Roses will perform in Mexico City at Estadio GNP Seguros. There will be a lot of emotions, and if one performance is not enough, you can go to the next ones. The distances there are often not very large, and the prices for stadium concerts do not bite.
Even more brutal men love Rammstein. Till Lindemann, the band's frontman, will arrive in Almaty on January 7, 2026, as part of the Meine Welt tour. The concert will take place at the Almaty Arena, one of the most modern and spacious venues in Kazakhstan.
Till Lindemann's solo project, as promised, is characterized by a lot of industrial and branded madness. Almost all tickets have been sold, but there are still few seats left in the side sectors. It's a little expensive next to the stage — $350. Closer to the center — $390. But the last row of the balcony is quite possible to pull: it's $130. You can pay in rubles on the site's website, the dollar exchange rate allows you to get to the show for 10 thousand rubles, although you can go to Istanbul for Lindemann. There are tickets for the concert at Ulker Sports Arena on December 6 (prices range from 4 thousand to 75 thousand rubles).
And if you don't want to wait, then on August 12, the monsters of the modern alternative Limp Bizkit scene return with a big solo concert in Abu Dhabi at the Etihad Arena. Tickets cost from $55 (4.5 thousand rubles) to $609 (50 thousand rubles). And after that, on August 15, the band will give a concert in Spartak Park in Almaty (6-10 thousand rubles). Then, on August 17, Istanbul will be there — tickets generally start at $33 (less than 3 thousand rubles).
The fan principle
You can go to a place where there will be not one star, but many at once. There are many festivals waiting for us. From September 4-7, the largest music festival in Central Asia, Park Live Almaty, will be held in Almaty for the second time. The headliners this year will be British singer Robbie Williams, rock legend Marilyn Manson, Norwegian duo Röyksopp and electronic musician Alan Walker. There will also be Morcheeba trip-hop stars. A subscription for September 4-7 can be purchased for 100 thousand rubles. tng (14.7 thousand rubles). VIP-zone subscription — 500 thousand rubles. tng (73.5 thousand rubles).
If you only want to listen to Robbie Williams, then his solo concert will be held on October 7 in Istanbul at the ITU Stadiumu stadium. Tickets on Turkish websites sell from 7 thousand to 90 thousand rubles. And the same Manson can be caught in Istanbul right on the eve of the Kazakhstan festival: on September 3, he will perform at the Istanbul Bonus Parkorman club (starting from 4.8 thousand rubles).
Sweet-voiced Italians and cool Finnish guys
If you want complete romance, then you need to go to the Italians. The world-famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will arrive in Samarkand (Uzbekistan) on September 1. His performance will take place on Registan Square. The singer's repertoire includes opera classics and pop music, which has made him one of the most popular performers in the world. Bocelli has sold more than 90 million records, performed on the world's largest stages and sang for the heads of major states. Tickets for his performance will cost from 12.3 thousand rubles.
Another sweet-voiced Italian, Eros Ramazzotti, will perform at the Stark Arena in Belgrade, but he will have to wait a little longer: the concert is scheduled for April 26, 2026. Tickets are already on sale, prices for them start from about 8 thousand rubles. The tour to Serbia is planned as part of Ramazzotti's Una Storia Importante world tour, which promises to be one of the most memorable events in the music world.
Veterans of the romantic rock band Smokie are also going to Belgrade. The performance is timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the legendary band. The concert will take place on November 18 at the MTS Dvorana hall (tickets — from 5.5 thousand rubles).
The Finnish rock band The Rasmus is also on tour. On November 3, the band's fans will travel to Tbilisi. The musicians will present a new album at the Elektrowerk concert Hall. The tickets are sold out, but you can take a chance and fit on the waiting list. Or go to Baku on November 4, where the concert will take place on the stage of the Heydar Aliyev Palace. Tickets from 59 manat (2.8 thousand rubles) up to 249 manats (11.8 thousand rubles) are on sale.
The Australian electronic music duo Empire of the Sun will give a concert in Turkey on August 30 at the Bonus Parkorman Club in Istanbul. Tickets are 2 thousand liras (4 thousand rubles) each.
In short, we urgently need to come up with witty inscriptions on posters, choose the right "bow" and go in search of simple human happiness. We can't wait for Timberlake's next tour, especially since no concerts are scheduled on his website for the near future.
