CELEBRATIONS to mark Eid festivities are in full swing with an array of musical performances lined up over the weekend.
Iraqi singer Aseel Hameem will serenade crowds with an unforgettable show at the Gulf Hotel Bahrain on the first day of Eid. Doors open at 7.30pm.
Ms Hameem is a regional favourite when it comes to Iraqi pop, particularly in the Gulf. In 2019, her song Al Mafrood was the most-streamed track in Saudi Arabia on Spotify, and Hameem the most-streamed artist.
On the second day of Eid, Saudi legend Rabeh Saqer will perform at the Al Dana Amphitheatre.
Saqer is one of the Arab music world’s most beloved artists with songs such as Ana Ahebbak and Latemanan capturing the hearts of fans across the world. He is also a multi-talented composer who has been mixing Western sounds with classical Arabic music since the 80s.

The free event will be held on the third day of Eid, beginning 8pm.
