DUBAI: Palestinian singer-songwriter and rapper Saint Levant, who created waves when he made his debut appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California in 2024, has announced his “Afandi World Tour,” a global headlining run that will visit cities in North America, Europe and the Middle East this fall.
The Live Nation-produced tour kicks off with the North American leg on Sept. 12 in Boston, making stops in Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The tour then continues overseas beginning Oct. 29 in Dublin, with performances in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm, Madrid, Athens, Istanbul and more before concluding with three stops in the Middle East and North Africa region, including Dec. 11 in Doha, Dec. 12 in Muscat, and Dec. 19 in Dubai.
The tour features “Layali Al-Afandi,” a live show inspired by the Levantine cabarets of the 1990s. Conceived as a narrative performance, the production combines live music, storytelling and stage design to reflect the atmosphere and cultural influence of the era. The show draws inspiration from Beirut’s nightlife and explores the music, fashion, and artistic identity that shaped contemporary Arab popular culture.
Saint Levant, born Marwan Abdelhamid in Jerusalem, first gained international attention with his 2022 breakout single “Very Few Friends.” Known for blending Arabic, English, and French in his music, he has built a global following through his distinctive sound and storytelling.
Ticket presale begins on Tuesday, July 21, ahead of the general sale on Friday, July 24.
