If you want to attend Park Live Almaty, everything you need to know is in my blog post "The Ultimate Guide to the Park Live Music Festival" https://blog.karlrock.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-park-live-music-festival/.
Park Live began as an ambitious international music festival launched in 2013 in Moscow, quickly earning cult status with stellar lineups featuring names like Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down, Gorillaz, Deftones, and The Killers.
After a string of cancellations in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and again in 2022 amid geopolitical disruptions that prompted the withdrawal of major artists, the festival reinvented itself in 2024 by relocating to Almaty, Kazakhstan - an event that became the largest international music gathering in the country’s history
The Park Live Almaty 2025 festival was absolutely unforgettable. Over four days at Pervomayskiye Prudy, I got to experience an incredible mix of music and energy. It opened with Robbie Williams, Morcheeba, and the Kazakh artist Ayau, which set the tone perfectly.
The next day Alan Walker and Swae Lee, De Lacure and V $ X V PRiNCE performed.
Saturday was my highlight - Marilyn Manson tore up the stage, The Hu brought their epic Mongolian folk metal, and I got to see India’s own Bloodywood live, along with Shortparis and Turan.
The festival closed on a high with Röyksopp, Elderbrook, Weval, Edigee, and Kedr Livanskiy.
