The Eid Festival on Trafalgar Square is the Mayor of London's community event to celebrate the end of Ramadan. It includes a food festival, live music and fun activities for children and families. Between 2-5pm on Saturday 25 July, Shubbak presents three hours of rousing open-air festival music on the main stage.
Straight from Alexandria comes Massar Egbari - Egypt's most popular alternative band, mixing rock, jazz and blues with oriental music. 47 Soul - the border defying collective of Palestinian musicians - arrives from Womad, bringing with them the energetic beats of Dabke, Shaabi and Electro-Arabic. Karama, led by oud player Soufian Saihi performs a set inspired by 'Gnawa', ancient African Islamic spiritual religious songs and rhythms, Arabic classical music and the diverse sounds of London.
