TUL8TE

On 3 May 2026, TUL8TE will perform at Melkweg in Amsterdam. The Egyptian pop-rapper builds his set around Arabic vocal lines that blend with global pop, R&B influences and electronic textures. Central are melody and atmosphere: spare beats, dark tones and a melancholic undertow that leaves room for intimacy. Behind the mask — now part of his artistic signature — the focus shifts to sound and image. Live, this translates into a tightly crafted, visually charged world with cinematic references, in which lyrics about contemporary relationships and digital life are anchored to accessible hooks.

TUL8TE emerged in the 2020s with online releases and grew into one of the faces of the new Egyptian pop that connects with urban and alternative scenes across the Middle East. Staying under the radar is part of the project, yet its reach is international: mentions on GRAMMY.com, a Billboard Arabia Music Award and a place on Rolling Stone’s Future 25 have marked the way. At Melkweg, TUL8TE brings this hybrid universe to the stage: a set where masked aesthetics, internet culture and pop formats intersect and the melodies carry the story.
