About

Al Balad Music Festival is a regional biennial Arabic music festival curated and organized by Al Balad Theater. The festival was launched in the city of Amman in 2009 to introduce established and emerging independent musicians and music groups from Jordan and the region to diverse audiences. The festival aims to provide a free space for promising and exceptional musicians to present their artistic work and experiences, offsetting restrictive political conditions and financial obstacles to retain the musical voice that we dream of. Over the span of five editions the festival has showcased more than 50 diverse and unique musical performances.
