Saint Levant, the Palestinian singer of “Very Few Friends” and a Prada ambassador, brings Layali Al Afandi, a show drawn from 1990s Levantine cabaret, to the Eventim Apollo.
Saint Levant, the Palestinian singer behind the 2022 hit “Very Few Friends”, plays the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Thursday 21 January 2027 on his AFANDI World Tour.
Born Marwan Abdelhamid in Jerusalem in 2000, he spent his childhood in Gaza, where his parents built a beachfront hotel called Al Deira. The family moved to Amman in 2007, and he later studied international relations in California.
“Very Few Friends”, rapped in English, French and Arabic, reached number one on Spotify in 19 countries. His debut album Deira followed in 2024, with Kehlani among its guests, and he played Coachella the same year.
Fashion has followed the music. He was Dior’s first fragrance ambassador in the Middle East in 2023, and in 2026 he became Prada’s first Palestinian brand ambassador.
His 2024 tour played the Kentish Town Forum, and he returned to London in August 2026 for the Mahrajan Festival at Crystal Palace Bowl.
The Apollo show is Layali Al Afandi, a staged performance inspired by the Levantine cabarets of the 1990s and by Beirut nightlife. It follows Afandi, his first album sung entirely in Arabic, released in August 2026.
