Palestinian pianist, composer and songwriter Issam Elias closes PalArt Festival 2026 with a live performance in the Main House Cabaret at Pleasance London. He blends live piano with synthesizers, electronic rhythms and vocals, drawing on traditional Arab music alongside Afro-Oriental dance grooves, dancehall and Middle Eastern dabkeh rhythms. Foyer music starts at 9pm, with Issam Elias performing live from 10pm, running for around 60 minutes. The show contains loud amplified live music and has a guideline age of 16+.
