Haifa Wehbe

Few artists in the Arab world have sustained her level of relevance for as long, and fewer still have done so while moving between pop stardom, film and television with equal command.

Her album Malikat Jamal Al Kawn topped the iTunes Worldwide Albums chart, making her the first Lebanese artist to reach that position, one marker among many in a catalogue that continues to generate millions of streams and views with each new release. Her 2026 singles with Saint Levant, “Bahibek” and “Mitsubishi,” arrived in consecutive weeks and became two of the year’s most prominent Arabic releases.

The recognition has followed accordingly. Wehbe was named Spotify EQUAL Global Ambassador in 2026 and Middle East Icon at the DAF BAMA Awards in 2025, and has been recognised by Forbes Middle East among the region’s leading music stars. On screen, her lead role in Laanet Karma became the most-watched series in the Middle East during Ramadan 2018, following a Murex d’Or for her work as an actress.

On stage, she has commanded some of the region’s biggest platforms, from a sold-out debut at Riyadh Season and Marina Delta in Egypt across consecutive summers, to a celebrated homecoming in Beirut. This tour takes its name from “Badna Nroue,” her Mega Haifa 2 track whose title translates as “let’s calm down.”

With Mega Haifa 3 due for release, Sydney and Melbourne will experience Haifa Wehbe at the height of her career, and she has no intention of calming down.
