According to him, the organizers have already received the official confirmation from the band. “We are negotiating the financial issues of the show and resolving legal issues at present. It was decided that the concert would take place at the international Ski Jumping Sport Complex in Almaty and timed to the City Day,” Ospanov said. “I have been thinking over the idea of arranging Jamiroquai show for two years. It happened so that the implementation of my idea blended into the plans of the Cultural Department of Almaty Akimat (city administration).
