In Almaty, preparations for the concert of American rapper Kanye West are in full swing. Residents are sharing photos and videos of how organizers tested the show's special effects. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Residents Organize Live Streams
Almaty residents whose windows and balconies overlook the Central Stadium are planning to broadcast the concert live and invite their followers to join. In jest, users wonder how much apartment rents have increased on Satpayev Street.
Laser Show Visible Across the City
According to Threads posts, laser beams from Ye's equipment were visible throughout the city. Spectators are warned that lasers may damage phone cameras. Filming with them is not prohibited, but organizers are not responsible for their safety. In comments, users compare the beams to the Death Star from the Star Wars saga.
An Instagram post from "Novosti Almaty | Tipichny Almaty" (@almaty_typical) also drew attention.
Road Closures and Transport Changes
Recall that on August 14 in Almaty, starting at 16:00, sections of streets near the Central Stadium will be closed: Baitursynov, Satpayev, and Abai Avenue. As a result, routes of 26 buses and five trolleybuses will change. For spectators, 60 free shuttles will be launched from different points of the city.
Additionally, from 21:00, metro operations near the concert venue will be limited, but trains will generally run until 3:00. Kursiv LifeStyle learned what considerations the akimat based this decision on.
Earlier, it was also written about where fans of Ye's work can go after the concert if they like club parties.
