Lebanese superstar Elissa will perform live at the 40th edition of the Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts in Jordan on Thursday, July 30.

She is set to present several of her popular and latest songs.

Founded in 1981 by the late Queen Noor, the Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts is held annually in the historical city of Jerash, 48 kilometres north of the Jordanian capital Amman. It is part of the Jordan Festival, which aims to enrich cultural activities in Jordan.

Held under royal patronage, the festival features more than 212 cultural, artistic and heritage events under the theme “A Legacy Continues... Generations Meet.”

The event will celebrate four decades of creativity with performances by leading Arab artists, including Majida El Roumi, George Wassouf, Tamer Hosny, Ahmed Saad and Abadi Al Johar.

The gigs will take place across the ancient city of Jerash and several Jordanian governorates, combining music, literature, theater, folklore and family entertainment. The program also includes the third Arab Narrative Forum, poetry evenings, intellectual seminars and the fourth Jerash Monodrama Festival.

International groups from Asia, Europe and the Arab world are set to participate, reflecting the festival’s growing role as a regional cultural platform.
