Three Arabic music acts have sold out this year’s LG Home Network Music Festival days before the event. Kazim Al-Saher, the Four Cats and Maya will perform at the Al-Bustan Rotana ballroom on the July 2 to a packed house of over 800 fans.  

 

“Within days of going on sale, sixty percent of the seat allocations were sold and this weekend saw most of the remaining tickets go, so we are going to be a sell out for this year’s event.” said President, LG Electronics Gulf, PC Choi.  

 

Choi added that the draw of established and emerging stars on the Arabic music horizon is a formula that has proved a big success for LG music events. “The Four Cats, the quartet discovered by Ghassan Al-Rahbani, perform traditional Arabic and Lebanese numbers in a contemporary pop style and Maya Al-Nasiri is yet another Lebanese star riding the wave of the currently fashionable Arabic music scene,” he said.  

 

The music festival concept has become an integral part of LG’s marketing mix as it seeks to bring the best in contemporary and classic Arab music to the Middle East public. — (menareport.com)
