Saint Levant Postpones His North American Tour
Palestinian-Algerian singer and rapper Saint Levant announced the postponement of his North American tour until spring 2027. The tour had been scheduled to begin in September and include cities in Canada and the United States.
The artist, whose real name is Marwan Abdelhamid, said that his US visa application had received initial approval. However, he was later asked to undergo additional checks that could take several months. He said that he consulted his lawyers and spoke with Arab and Palestinian artists who had faced similar problems.
Under the new schedule, the tour will begin in Ottawa on March 19, 2027. Concerts will take place in Canada first, and the US shows will begin in Boston on March 27. Existing tickets will remain valid, with refunds available.
Saint Levant sings in Arabic, English, and French, and his work addresses Palestinian identity and his personal experience. He gained international recognition after his song “Very Few Friends” became widely popular in 2022.
