The multilingual star will top the bill at Dopa World, a new youth culture festival at Expo City Dubai.

The UAE’s live music calendar is no stranger to major names, but Saint Levant returning to Dubai feels particularly timely. The fast-rising artist will perform at Jubilee Park in Expo City Dubai on Sunday, 5 April 2026, as part of Dopa World, a new two-day festival taking place across 4 and 5 April 2026. The event is being positioned as a celebration of contemporary youth culture, bringing together live music, fashion, food and creative expression in one immersive setting.

Saint Levant headlines day two of the new Dubai festival, while Shehab and Ziad Zaza are scheduled for day one. According to the official event details, Dopa World will also feature DJs, creators and emerging regional talent, alongside more than 50 curated streetwear and lifestyle brands, interactive activations and a lineup of food vendors. It all points to a festival designed to tap into the intersection of sound, style and community.

For anyone new to the artist, Saint Levant is the stage name of Marwan Abdelhamid, whose background has played a defining role in shaping both his music and his identity. He was partly raised in Gaza before moving to France, and this multicultural background shapes his music and identity. He writes and performs across Arabic, English, and French, often blending them in a single track.

His catalogue has helped turn him into one of the most compelling voices on the regional scene. Saint Levant’s top releases include “Very Few Friends,” “From Gaza, with Love,” “Nails”, and “Deira,” projects and tracks that have steadily built his reputation with audiences in the Middle East and beyond.

As for Dopa World itself, the festival has been described as “the first Arab Gen Z cultural experience,” and Saint Levant feels like a fitting headline act for that ambition. Tickets to see Saint Levant live at Dopa World Dubai are available now, with early bird two-day passes starting from AED 299 and Golden Circle early bird tickets priced at AED 499.
