Sia Headlines Byblos International Festival in Lebanon and We’re Swinging from Chandeliers
The Byblos International Festival brings together some of the most talented performers, singers and musicians in Lebanon. In a country that truly treasures performing arts, with previous festivals that hosted the likes of John Legend, Marcel Khalife, Lana Del Rey, Kadim El Sahir, B.B. King, and many more talents reigning from the Arab world and abroad.
Lebanon’s renowned performer Carole Samaha will open the festival on Jul. 15 just in time to sing the new tunes from her 2016 Zekrayati. Samaha’s performance is expected to be a massive show with a chorus, musicians and dancers. Along with regional talents, Byblos will host international musical icons including Brazil’s very own Toquinho & Maria Creuza and Maxime le Forestier from France.
