Internationally known Egyptian, Palestinian, Somali and Lebanese DJs, rappers and musical artists will be in London this September 3 and 4 for the WASLA festival at London’s Central London Outernet.
Live performances will come from Marwan Pablo, TootArd, Greek, DJ Habibeats, El Waili, Areej, Gharam Electric and Rasha Nahas, with both days including DJ sets from Palestinian Canadian siblings Maher and Mike Daniel.
WASLA is designed to help raise the profile of Arabic musical talent which originated in the United Arab Emirates. For musicians, WASLA offers the opportunity to perform on stages that will attract both local and regional audiences and hopefully help them on their road to discovery.
The two day event, on September 3 and 4 will feature art, food and culture alongside live music and is designed to be a celebration of Arabic culture which will challenge stereotypes.
Tickets for WASLA will go presale from Wednesday 26th June at 10am local time with a general sale following Friday 28th June at 10am local time via LiveNation.co.uk.
