“Shabab Al-Mustaqbal” (Youth of the Future) is an artist-led series built as a response to traditional booking structures. It operates as a non-profit, collaborative platform, where 100% of ticket revenue goes directly to the performers. The project will move across cities, creating spaces that prioritize artists, community, and experimentation.
The evening begins with music from 19:00, transitioning into live performances starting at 21:00, and back to spinnin music till the end.
Expect a spectrum of sounds shaped by diaspora, memory, and new directions — from intimate vocal sets to hybrid live electronics.
We are reclaiming the sound of our generation — Khawa!
