The artist announced the cancellation of the concert via his Instagram, stating: "A miracle didn't happen, so please return your tickets. I hope to see you one day." The rapper did not specify the reasons for the cancellation.
This marks the second concert cancellation for the performer in Kazakhstan this year. In April, Morgenstern was scheduled to perform in Astana but canceled the show, citing threats to his safety. At that time, he mentioned that he would be willing to come on tour if there were public guarantees from the authorities.
Concert cancellations in Kazakhstan have become a trend. In October, Belarusian singer Max Korzh refused to perform in Almaty, citing unstable conditions. Earlier in September, the founders of the British rock band Placebo canceled their performance at the Park Live Festival, referring to "serious indirect reasons."
In August, the Russian band "Bi-2" had their performance at the Family Rock Fest in Kaskelen canceled. The reasons were not detailed.
These incidents highlight the challenges of organizing international concerts in Kazakhstan, which require attention from promoters and authorities.
