NOKIA XPRESSMUSIC FESTIVAL

Some of the best Egyptian Bands, including Wust El Balad, Nagham Masry, Screwdriver and Sahra will perform alongside local DJ's and unspecified guests from the UK at the Nokia Xpressmusic Festival that will be held Friday, December 19 starting 3:00 PM in the Chinese Garden of Cairo International Conference Centre.
This is surely a good opportunity to have an insight into the young local music movement. The somehow bizarre way of acquiring ticket for the show is the same as for the SOS Music Festival (and the organizer is the same). The show is free but you have to get a ticket to get in, ticket that you can obtain by replying (be smart, ... this looks to me like a profile screening) to a questionnaire that you find online here.

You can get a full list of the performers and some more clues at the way the ticket process works by clicking here
