The tour is scheduled to begin in Toronto and Montreal, Canada, on 19 and 20 September, followed by cities across the US: New York (21 September), Tampa Bay (22 September), Washington (27 September), Dallas (28 September), and Los Angeles (29 September).

The popular Egyptian band already had a tour in North America in 2022, covering New York, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. 

Meanwhile, in 2018, they made their debut in North America in Toronto.

With their North America tour still a few weeks ahead, the band will take the stage in Carthage, Tunisia, on 30 August.

Most recently, they performed overseas in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (22 August), and New Alamein (23 August). 

 

 

The band, founded in 2003, achieved their first major success during the Egyptian Revolution in 2011 after their hit single Sowt El-Horreya (The Voice of Freedom).

The band's line-up includes lead vocalist Amir Eid, guitarist Sherif El-Hawary, drummer Tamer Hashem, bassist Adam El-Alfy, and keyboardist Sherif Mostafa.

Cairokee, one of the most popular Egyptian rock bands, released several studio albums, such as Matloob Zaeem (2011), Wana Maa Nafsy Aaed (2012), El-Sekka Shemal (2014), Nas w Nas (2015), Noaata Beida (2017), and The Ugly Ducklings (2019).

Their most successful songs include Wrong Way Blues, Fix, and Ya Abyad Ya Eswed, each with over 100 million views on YouTube.

Cairokee’s latest single release Telk Qadeya (This Cause), expressing solidarity with the Palestinian cause, was performed live at the closing ceremony of El-Gouna Film Festival last December.
