The closing of the Ertis Promenade season in Pavlodar once again brought together tens of thousands of residents and visitors. Colorful performances by Miras Zhugunusov, Amre, Maksim, and Jay Sean provided a bright finale to a show that ran for several months on the banks of the Irtysh, infohub.kz reports.
The summer concerts of Ertis Promenade have long been a calling card of Pavlodar and a reason to visit for the weekend even from other cities. The past season was one of the busiest: the stage hosted an incredible number of star names. "During the summer season of 2026, more than 300 events were held on the Ertis Promenade stage. More than 40 Kazakh and foreign stars performed for audiences, as well as over 2,700 artists and creative groups from cities and rural districts of Pavlodar Region," the Pavlodar city akimat said.
In total, the concerts attracted more than a million spectators. There were also many debut performances this past season. For example, members of the group "Irina Kairatovna," Truwer, Burito, Loboda, Nana, Fly Project, and Vintage took the stage for the first time. The performances also became more massive. At the closing of the next season, guests included Miras Zhugunusov, DARICORN, Rakhman Sati, and Amre — some of them not for the first time on the Pavlodar stage. The audience gave each a standing ovation and sang along to the well-known hits.
Special guests included Belarusian-born singer LYRIQ, who performed "Ne Bruklin," "Posle menya," and "Vse v shoke." A special place in the hearts of Pavlodar residents was taken by the performance of singer Maksim. The audience sang along to every song, and the hit "Znayesh li ty" was literally sung in full chorus by the entire Pavlodar embankment. Meanwhile, Jay Sean with his tracks Ride It, Tonight, and Down left no one a chance to just stand and not dance.
It is worth noting that the large open stage on the banks of the Irtysh, Ertis Promenade in Pavlodar, was opened in 2018.
