Mohamed Ramadan to Make History as First Egyptian Artist to Perform at Dolby Theatre

Mohamed Ramadan is set to perform a headlining show for the first time at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, USA on June 6, becoming the first Egyptian artist to grace the stage of the Hollywood landmark.

Last year, the Egyptian multihyphenate,  37, became the first artist from his homeland to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Ramadan is widely known across the Middle East as a superstar of film and TV, singer, rapper, and producer. He has a combined social media following of more than 85 million worldwide, 34 million of which are on Instagram.

In June 2020, Ramadan became the first Egyptian artist to receive YouTube’s Diamond Creator Award after his YouTube channel surpassed 10 million subscribers. His videos have now accumulated more than 6 billion views on the platform.

In the film sphere, Ramadan will next be seen in a leading role inspired by the Ancient Rome rebel slave Spartacus in the Arabic epic “Lion” from Egyptian director Mohamed Diab, who helmed Marvel’s “Moon Knight.”

Ramadan’s career started in Egyptian films and TV series, including popular 2006 show “The Cinderella” and prominent auteur Yousry Nasrallah’s hit feminist drama “Scheherazade, Tell Me a Story” (2009). Thriller “Abdu Mota” (2012) and two-part action-adventure film series “The Treasure” and “The Treasure 2” (2017, 2019) are among other movie standouts.

He also raised his stardom level across the Arab world by playing the lead in other hit TV dramas such as “Ibn Halal” (2014); “Al Ostoura” (2016), in which he has a double role; and" Gaafar Al Omda” (2023).

Ramadan, who has starred in more than 45 Egyptian movies and TV series, has received Egypt’s “Greatest Nationwide Talent” award three consecutive times.

He has also been awarded the prestigious Murex d’Or award for the best Arab actor. Ramadan was hailed by Omar Sharif as his artistic successor.

In his parallel music career, Ramadan blends Arabic pop, hip-hop, and Afro-influenced sounds. His 2020 single “Ya Habibi,” a collaboration with French-Congolese rapper Gims, became a major hit across the Middle East and Africa, topping the charts in 15 countries and establishing him as a major new artist from the region.

He also released several other hit tracks, including “Number One” (2018); “Mafia” (2019), for which he won the top prize at the AFRIMA (All Africa Music Awards); “Bum Bum” (2020); and more recently, the June 2025 single “Ana Enta.” Ramadan has collaborated with international artists including Rema, Future, and French Montana.

Most recently, he teamed with Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of the U.S. president and former co-chair of the Republican National Committee, on a new single titled “Sah Sah.” The pairing is among the most unusual cross-cultural collaborations in recent pop music memory.

Underscoring his growing global presence, Ramadan is set to perform in May at the Theater at Madison Square Garden, marking the first Arab artist to perform at the storied venue.
