On September 17, 2026, Ukrainian singer Alena Omargalieva celebrated her 41st birthday. Instead of the usual round of congratulations, the artist decided to use this day for an important announcement: on her Instagram she posted a video address to her fans in which she not only summarized the year but also announced a large-scale solo performance at the Palace of Sports in Kyiv. According to the publication Wave RBC.UA, the concert is scheduled for November 7–8, 2026.
Main wish — peace and safety
In her video address, Omargalieva linked her personal wish for the new year of her life with the fate of the country. "A clear sky free from 'Shaheds' and missiles, and a just peace for our Ukraine," the singer said, addressing the viewers. These words became the emotional core of the entire address: the artist emphasized that even amid the ongoing war she has no intention of stopping her creative work or making plans for the future.
A solo milestone after TamerlanAlena
The concert at the Palace of Sports will be a significant milestone in Omargalieva's solo career. For many years she has been known as part of the duet TamerlanAlena, but in recent years she has been actively developing her solo project. As Wave RBC.UA notes, judging by the headline of the publication, this is the singer's second major concert at this venue, which testifies to the growing scale of her solo performances. "When everyone around is trying to destroy, we do not stop believing, dreaming, striving, and acting. We continue to make plans. We continue to meet. We continue to sing," the artist stated in her address.
Every ticket is a donation in support of the Defense Forces
A separate and, perhaps, the most significant element of the announcement was the charitable component of the event. Omargalieva announced that every ticket sold for the concert would become a donation in support of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Thus, the singer's birthday turns into an event with a dual meaning: it is both a creative celebration for fans and practical help for Ukraine's defenders.
Context and details
The concert will take place on November 7 and 8, 2026, at the Palace of Sports in Kyiv. The exact ticket prices, the performance program, and the guest list were not disclosed at the time of publication. Omargalieva, whose career spans more than two decades of the Ukrainian music scene, continues to be one of the most recognizable and commercially successful artists in the country. Her decision to tie her personal celebration to a public charitable gesture and a large-scale solo show reflects a general trend among Ukrainian stars who, in the conditions of war, use their platform to support the state and the army.
