The 34th Arab Music Festival is set to take place in Egypt, with several renowned artists scheduled to perform. Amidst reports of some artists withdrawing from the event, Mohamed El-Houlou's participation has been confirmed by his son, Hamada El-Houlou. In a Facebook post, Hamada denied rumors that his father had apologized for missing the festival, stating that Mohamed El-Houlou will perform in Cairo and Alexandria.

The festival, which is a prominent event in the Arab music scene, has faced some setbacks with several artists withdrawing from the lineup. Notable artists such as Ali El-Haggar, Mohamed Tharwat, Marwa Nagy, Assi El-Hellani, May Farouk, Mohamed Mohsen, and Genat have all apologized for their absence. Despite these withdrawals, the festival organizers have managed to retain Mohamed El-Houlou as part of the event.

Hamada El-Houlou took to social media to set the record straight regarding his father's participation in the festival. He wrote that the website that reported Mohamed El-Houlou's withdrawal was incorrect, and that his father would indeed be performing at the festival in both Cairo and Alexandria. This confirmation comes as a relief to fans of the Egyptian singer.

The 34th Arab Music Festival has been marred by controversy, with Dr. Reda El-Wakil, the head of the Egyptian Opera House, announcing his resignation from the position. Although some sources suggested that he later retracted his decision, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the festival.

Mohamed El-Houlou is a well-known Egyptian singer, and his participation in the festival is expected to draw a large audience. His son, Hamada, has been actively engaging with fans on social media, sharing updates about his father's performances. The festival is scheduled to take place in two cities, with Mohamed El-Houlou set to perform in both.

Despite the withdrawals of several high-profile artists, the festival organizers have managed to assemble a talented lineup of performers. A total of five Arab singers will be participating in the event, which promises to be an exciting showcase of Arab music. Fans are eagerly anticipating the performances, including Mohamed El-Houlou's highly anticipated set.

The 34th Arab Music Festival is set to kick off soon, with fans and performers alike looking forward to a spectacular event. With Mohamed El-Houlou on board, the festival is expected to draw a large and enthusiastic audience.
