On December 14 and 15, 2024, residents and guests of Almaty and Astana can look forward to the most anticipated musical event of the year. During these days, the stars of the fifth anniversary international retro festival will perform their greatest hits for you. The main information partner of the celebration will be Retro FM Qazaqstan, where you can always enjoy your favorite songs from the past and present.
An unforgettable show featuring world-class stars will take place on the stages of the "Almaty Arena" in Almaty and "Barys Arena" in Astana. One of the headliners of the retro festival will be the band "Prime Minister," whose members are already preparing to perform in the main megacities of our country.
"Kazakhstan is one of our favorite countries to perform in. We have been here many times and always enjoy coming back!" - said the musicians.
One of the vocalists of the band, singer, musician, and composer Pit Jason, the former soloist of the original lineup of "Prime Minister," will also take the stage in Almaty and Astana. It is worth noting that this lineup represented Russia at the Eurovision international competition in 2002, where they made a splash with one of their biggest hits – the song "Northern Girl." Jason was also involved in creating such well-known songs for "Prime Minister" as "Two Diamonds," "Eastern," "Come Closer," and others. According to Pit Jason, all the most famous and popular hits of the band will be performed at the retro festival in Kazakhstan.
"The phenomenon of retro music is that over the years, everything, including the audience's stylistic preferences, returns – and timeless hits evoke nostalgic feelings in people! My bandmates and I love how the older generation passes their favorite songs to their children. This is how they continue to live and resonate through time! And we are happy to be part of this process!" - says Pit Jason.
Additionally, the list of guests performing at the retro festival has expanded even further in its fifth year: 18 artists from different parts of the world will fly in to perform on the Kazakhstani stage, including the most beloved performers of timeless retro hits.
International stars such as Bad Boys Blue, E-Type, O-Zone, Secret Service, Maxx, and Down Low will perform on the stages in Almaty and Astana. Stars of the Russian pop scene will also attend the show, including the bands "Virus," "Kar-Man," "Sweet Dream," "Commissioner," "Prime Minister," "Dynamite," and "Malchishnik." Additionally, artists such as DJ Dozhdik, Irina Saltykova, and Aidamir Mugu will take the stage.
