The festival's first edition features Middle Easterners, North Africans, Persians, Armenians, and Afghans.

Ramadan, 37, returns to the US stages shortly after his April performance at Coachella.

His concert at the California-based festival made him the first Egyptian artist to perform at the famed event, which also featured Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, Travis Scott, and dozens of other heavyweights of American and international music.

One of the best-known Egyptian artists, Ramadan initially gained fame as a cinema and television star.

In recent years, he has pursued a singing career, garnering popularity as a rap-Mahraganat singer.

His hits include Baba, which got over 30 million views in the first few weeks of its release; Bum Bum, which got over 200 million views weeks after its release; Coronavirus; and Aladdin Lamp.

Sara Haytham, 26, gained traction after performing with Tamer Hosny in concerts. 

She released her first song Sokar W Assal (Sugar and Honey) from her upcoming EP in October 2024.

In May this year, Haytham performed alongside Mostafa Amar and Hamada Helal in Toronto, Canada.
