TUL8TE goes orchestral for Red Bull Symphonic at Mohamed Ali Palace on 27 November
The third Egyptian edition of Red Bull Symphonic puts TUL8TE's songs in the hands of conductor Nayer Nagui and a full orchestra, in front of a seated audience at 7pm.
Red Bull Symphonic is coming back to Egypt for a third time, and this year the singer on stage is TUL8TE. On Friday 27 November he will perform his own songs in new orchestral arrangements with conductor Nayer Nagui and a symphonic orchestra at Mohamed Ali Palace, CairoScene reported on 1 November.
The idea behind the series is simple: a contemporary artist hands their catalogue to an orchestra, and familiar tracks come back in a completely different shape. For TUL8TE, whose songs have filled arenas across Egypt and the Gulf this year, it means the beats and the autotune give way to strings, brass and a conductor's baton for one night.
Nagui is the thread that ties the Egyptian editions together. He conducted both earlier ones: Cairokee's, and Marwan Pablo's, which was staged at the Grand Egyptian Museum with the Cairo Celebration Choir and Orchestra in December 2024. Each time, the show was filmed and the arrangements were built specially for it, so the night is not a regular concert with a few violins added.
This edition moves to a new setting. Mohamed Ali Palace is one of the historic palaces of the dynasty that ruled Egypt in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the concert will be seated rather than standing, which changes the feel of a TUL8TE show completely. CairoScene reported that it starts at 7pm.
TUL8TE has had a busy autumn. He played Al Manara Arena in New Cairo in October, and his 2026 tour has also taken him to Jeddah, Kuwait and Bahrain.
If you want to be there, keep an eye on Red Bull's and the artist's own channels: ticket prices, how seats will be handed out and the exact entrance had not been announced when the date was reported. Seated shows of this kind tend to have far fewer places than an arena night, and a 7pm start on a Friday means leaving early if you are crossing the city.
