On April 19, the long-awaited live concert of Ummon took place at the Humo Arena. Returning to the big stage after a nearly 10-year break, the group's concert turned into a night full of showmanship and emotion. Thousands of fans gathered around the arena before the evening began. During the concert, 12,000 fans sang along in unison, creating a unique atmosphere in the hall.
At the beginning of the program, group member Shokhrukh Isamuhammedov took the stage and recalled the difficult days experienced in recent years. He mentioned the passing of his friend Jasur Rafiqov and the days when Zohid Risqiyev fought for his life, emphasizing that returning to this stage was not easy. The concert began with the track "Ana endi yig'la," and the strong support of the fans was felt from the very first minutes.
According to the group members, about 5-6 months of extensive preparation went into the concert. Initially, there was hesitation about holding the program at the Humo Arena, as filling a 12,000-seat venue was a huge responsibility. However, their trust in the fans gave them the push to take a bold step. In an interview after the concert, Shokhrukh Isamuhammedov said he was very nervous during the first two songs, but then the energy of the fans gave them strength.
A total of 30 songs were performed live throughout the evening. Because a large orchestra worked on the musical program, each track sounded even more impressive. The group members announced that they had selected 70 songs from over 400, and then narrowed it down to the best 30 for the concert. For this reason, no duets were included in the program.
The concert was divided into three major blocks. The final part, in particular, became an unforgettable moment for the fans. Hits like "7-qavat," "Tola," "Sen meniki emassan," "Dengiz," and "Ummon baribir Ummon" were performed one after another. The fans in the hall sang all the songs together, adding to the uplifting spirit of the concert.
One of the most touching moments of the evening was the segment dedicated to the memory of the late Jasur Rafiqov. When his voice echoed, the arena was filled with deep emotion. The group members said they had received permission from Jasur's mother before the concert to use his voice and photos. They emphasized that they would never forget their friend and would honor him at every concert.
Additionally, the group Ummon announced that they have no plans to add new members. In their opinion, fans love the original lineup, and the group has found its place in this form. The artists also added that they are planning to return to their fans with an even bigger concert program next year.
