Renowned Syrian artist Asala Nasry and up-and-coming Moroccan star Saad Lamjared will perform on August 28 at Ali bin Hamad Al Attiyah arena, near Al Sadd Sports Club, which seats up to 7,700 spectators. Music fans with a taste for Gulf tunes can buy tickets for the preceding concert on August 27, featuring performances by the half Yemeni, half Emirati artist Balqis Fathy, and the popular Saudi artist Rabeh Saqr.

“We are thrilled to have secured such a star-studded line up of singers, popular all around the Arab world, especially as our aim is to cater to visitors and residents seeking both culture and entertainment in a family-friendly environment suitable for all ages,” commented Mashal Shahbik, Festivals and Events manager at QTA.

The live shows will come at the conclusion of the month-long Qatar Summer Festival, which will also host the Doha Comedy Day, featuring a group of stand-up comedy pioneers from across the Gulf. The comedians include Bader Saleh, Ibrahim Khairallah, Fahd Al Butairi, Ahmed Al Shammari and Ali Al Sayed. The event will be hosted by Qatari comedian Hamad Al Ammari.
