MAYOT Tashkent Concert: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Tashkent)

One November night in Yunusabad

The concert was set for November 12, 2026, in Yunusabad, the broad northern district of Tashkent, where wide avenues run between tall residential blocks and newer commercial buildings. The date fell on a Thursday, so for many fans it was a weeknight show, after a working day and with a late trip home afterwards.

November in Tashkent is coat weather once the sun goes down. Evenings are cold and dry, and the gap between a heated hall and the street outside is real. Concertgoers usually bring a jacket they can tie around their waist or leave at a cloakroom, if the venue has one, rather than shiver in the exit queue.

Who is on stage

MAYOT works in Russian-language hip-hop and pop, with a melodic, sung delivery. That is why event listings call him a singer as often as a rapper. Russian is still widely spoken in Tashkent, especially among younger city residents, and that keeps Russian-language acts on the city’s concert calendar.

The announcement named MAYOT as the act. It gave no setlist, support act or running time, and openers and set length were left to the organiser.

Reaching Yunusabad

The Yunusobod metro line runs straight up into the district. It leaves the centre at Yunus Rajabiy, where passengers change from the Chilonzor line’s Amir Temur Hiyoboni station. Heading north, the stations include:

• Minor
• Bodomzor
• Shahriston
• Yunusobod

Which stop is nearest depends on the exact venue. The district is big enough that the difference between stations matters.

Tashkent’s metro stations are famous in their own right: chandeliers, carved plaster, marble and ceramic panels. Even on a concert night the ride feels like a small sightseeing trip. Trains are frequent, but service stops overnight. A show ending late pushes most people onto taxis for the ride home.

Tickets, taxis and paying: how Tashkent does a concert night

Ride-hailing is the default here. Yandex Go is the app most residents open, and it shows the fare before a ride is accepted. People leaving a big show tend to walk a block or two away from the main exit before ordering. Pickups go faster there than in the crush at the gate.

Money and entry work like this:

• Currency: everything is priced in Uzbek som. Local cards run on the Humo and Uzcard networks, and foreign Visa and Mastercard acceptance is common in the centre but not universal.
• Cash: small som notes are handy for street food and kiosks around a venue.
• Tickets: for this show, tickets were sold through the organiser’s chosen seller. Most Tashkent shows use e-tickets with a QR code scanned at the door.
• Security: large concerts here usually have a bag check at entry. People who travel light get through faster.

Phones work as tickets, maps and taxi apps all at once, so a charged battery matters more than anything else in a pocket. A local SIM from Beeline, Ucell or Uzmobile is easy to buy in the city with a passport.

Making a day of the north side

Yunusabad isn’t only a place to sleep. The Tashkent Television Tower, at 375 metres the tallest structure in Central Asia, rises over the district’s southern edge. Its observation level shows the whole flat grid of the city at once. Its opening hours vary through the year.

Close to Minor station, the Minor Mosque sits on the bank of the Ankhor canal. It opened in 2014, a white marble building with a pale blue dome. Visitors dress modestly, women cover their hair, and nobody walks in during prayer.

For an evening meal, plov is the city’s dish. It is cooked in huge kazans and traditionally served at lunchtime, so the famous plov centres often sell out before evening. After dark, shashlik grills and samsa counters are easier to find across the district.

Where to stay

Visitors coming in for one night usually split between two options. Some sleep in central Tashkent around Amir Temur Square, a few metro stops south. Others pick a hotel in Yunusabad itself to keep the late ride short.

The centre offers the Chorsu Bazaar, the old town and Broadway (Sayilgoh Street) for the days either side. Yunusabad offers a five-minute taxi after the encore. For a single late show, plenty of people choose the short taxi.
