Half Saudi, half Ecuadorian rising pop star Mishaal Tamer will be making his live debut in the UK with a headline show at London’s Camden Assembly on 17th May following a performance at Brighton’s The Great Escape Festival at Komedia the night before as part of his Europe and UK tour. Prior to arriving in the UK, the tour will see Mishaal headline shows in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Paris. Event information and tickets can be found here.

With his music being a unifying force among the youth of Saudi Arabia, Mishaal is the first modern musician from his country to make an impact within the global music industry. This was marked by Mishaal being the first Saudi artist to sign to a major record label in 2020 (Sony Music). Tamer, who sings in Spanish, English, and Arabic, now works under independent label Arabian Knights and is in the process of creating his debut album, Home Is Changing. The album will consist of five EPs that Mishaal has already started to release, each EP representing a different subject. So far, two of the five instalments, THE DEEP and THE HEART have been released. The latter was released in February and includes ‘MAMA DON’T GO’ and ‘LIFE’S ALL WORK’. Boasting over 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 246k followers on Instagram, Mishaal is bringing his music and live shows to Europe.

In the last year, Mishaal has supported Grammy Award-nominated band OneRepublic on tour in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, including their sold out one-off show at London’s Wembley Arena last summer. Mishaal also collaborated with OneRepublic on ‘Mirage’ for Assassin’s Creed Mirage. This year Mishaal performed his first headline show; the event was the first ever fully Saudi concert complete with support from female Saudi musicians Fulana and Tamtam.
