Kanye West concert in Almaty postponed by a day due to bad weather

Kanye West's highly anticipated concert in Almaty, Kazakhstan, scheduled for August 14, was abruptly postponed due to adverse weather conditions. The announcement came just moments before the show was set to begin at the Central Stadium, leaving attendees surprised and disappointed.

Organizers issued apologies for the last-minute change, citing safety concerns as the primary reason for the postponement. Adding to the disruption, the main stage decoration, a large white sphere, reportedly broke due to strong winds about an hour before the concert was to start. This incident, coupled with the weather, led to the decision to reschedule.

We apologize, but we have to postpone our show today until tomorrow at the same time. All your tickets will be available at the same links, also available on Ticketon.

The concert has been moved to August 15, with all tickets remaining valid for the new date. Kanye West himself confirmed the postponement on his X account, stating that "Health and safety is the priority." He expressed his eagerness to perform for the residents of Almaty the following day. The report also mentioned a prior large-scale power outage in the Bostandyk district, where the stadium is located, though power supply was reportedly being restored.
