Voice of Asia (Kazakh: Азия Дауысы, Azııa Daýysy; Russian: Голос Азии, Golos Azii) is a music festival that has been held annually in Almaty, Kazakhstan since 1990. It features artists from all over Asia, Eastern Europe and other regions. The usual venue for the festival is the outdoor skating rink "Medeu", located on the mountainous outskirts of the Tian Shan, a few kilometers from the center of Almaty. The festival program includes concerts by popular performers and a vocal competition. Over the years, the festival's headliners have included international pop music stars such as Gloria Gaynor, Alla Pugacheva, Toto Cutugno, Patricia Kaas, Valery Leontiev, Boney M., Bаccara, Secret Service, Black Eyed Peas and others.[1][2][3][4][5] In 2024, Jason Derulo gave his first solo concert in Almaty.[6]

In 2005 the event was suspended due to lack of funds.[7] The festival has resumed in 2023.[8]
