Wael Kfoury removes Douzi from Mawazine Festival lineup

The Lebanese star is set to perform on June 23 on the Nahda stage during the twenty-first edition of the event. The choice to impose a solo performance directly disrupted the evening’s schedule, overshadowing the participation of the Moroccan artist. The management had already finalized the procedures and signed an official contract with him to ensure the opening of the show.

This sudden reversal has created a real organizational headache for the management team. Officials are currently seeking a backup solution to honor their contractual commitments to the various musicians without disrupting the overall coherence of the event. As Al Omk newspaper reports, rumors of behind-the-scenes negotiations were fueled by the sudden removal of the singer’s promotional poster from social media, before its reposting a few hours later without any official explanation.

The impact of these stars thus goes beyond simple public attraction, directly influencing the course of the evenings before the festivities even begin. Despite this internal turmoil, Wael Kfoury’s return remains highly anticipated, his previous appearance in 2015 having drawn a massive crowd. The festival continues to unveil the rest of its lineup, confirming the presence of major Arab and Moroccan headliners such as Tamer Hosny, Hatim Ammor and Asmaa Lamnawar.
