The tour features “Layali Al Afandi,” a narrative live show inspired by Levantine cabarets of the 1990s and combining live music, storytelling and custom stage design.
Born Marwan Abdelhamid in Jerusalem and raised in the Gaza Strip, Saint Levant has gained international prominence for his unique multilingual musical style.
He is known for seamlessly blending Arabic, English and French in his songs while combining hip-hop, R&B and electronic beats.
His work explores themes of identity, belonging, love, and diaspora, drawing on his story through releases such as "DEIRA," "Love Letters", and "AFANDI." Through these releases, Saint Levant builds a bridge between cultures while connecting audiences across borders.

He first drew international attention in 2022 with the release of his single "Very Few Friends," which became his breakout track. In 2023, he released the EP "From Gaza, with Love," and was later named among GQ Middle East's Men of the Year. He signed with Universal Arabic Music in 2024 and released his debut studio album, "Deira," the same year, followed by singles including "Deira" and "5am in Paris.''
The upcoming December event follows the artist’s sold-out debut performance in Türkiye, held at the same venue on Dec. 12, 2025.
During the concert, Saint Levant used his platform between songs to deliver a message of solidarity over the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
