Ziyad Al-Samman

Expect a set of high energy, theatrical disco pop with a Middle Eastern spin courtesy of the flamboyant Ziyad Al-Samman.

Ziyad’s love of life is deeply rooted in his Syrian and Jordanian roots, and he shares that love in his psychedelic disco-pop songs and supercharged live shows. Inspired by hours of listening to Prince, Pulp, Gorillaz and Egyptian singer Amr Diab, his debut EP ‘Pleasure Complex’ leads us into a stroboscopic frenzy – the perfect soundtrack to an everyday life we wish were happier, lighter and more vibrant.

Previous performances include Green Man, Left of the Dial, FOCUS Wales, Deershed, Transmusicales – where he performed a live session for KEXP – and support slots with Hinds, Findlay & TTRRUUCCEESS.
