Palestinian singer-songwriter and rapper Saint Levant has announced his “Afandi World Tour,” a global headlining run that will take in cities across North America, Europe and the Middle East this fall.
The Live Nation-produced tour opens with its North American leg on Sept. 12 in Boston, with stops in Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. It then moves overseas from Oct. 29 in Dublin, with performances in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Stockholm, Madrid, Athens, Istanbul and more, before wrapping up with three dates in the Middle East and North Africa region: Dec. 11 in Doha, Dec. 12 in Muscat and Dec. 19 in Dubai.
A show rooted in 1990s Levantine cabaret
The tour features “Layali Al-Afandi,” a live show inspired by the Levantine cabarets of the 1990s. Conceived as a narrative performance, the production blends live music, storytelling and stage design to capture the atmosphere and cultural influence of the era. The show draws on Beirut’s nightlife and explores the music, fashion and artistic identity that shaped contemporary Arab popular culture.
From breakout single to global following
Saint Levant, born Marwan Abdelhamid in Jerusalem, first drew international attention with his 2022 breakout single “Very Few Friends.” Known for weaving Arabic, English and French through his music, he has built a worldwide following on the strength of his distinctive sound and storytelling.
Ticket presale begins on Tuesday, July 21, ahead of the general sale on Friday, July 24.
