According to him, the lineup was selected taking into account the interests of all generations, from today's youth to older adults.

Performing alongside Kyrgyz artists at the concert venues and during the opening and closing ceremonies will be Dutch singer Eva Simons, French pop group Gipsy Kings, German singer Haddaway, Ecuadorian musician Leo Rojas, Russian singer Dmitry Koldun, Azerbaijani singer Roza Zergerli, the Bashkortostan musical trio Ay Yola, and the Yakut ensembles Kyl Sakha and Ayarkhan.
