Last Saturday, December 20, Abdeen Palace became the setting for a rare night when pop stardom met purpose, as Tamer Hosny took the stage for a fundraising concert that blended music, emotion, and social impact.
A Concert with a Cause
The event was organised as a charity concert, with proceeds going toward supporting families in need through the Raai Misr Foundation, part of the National Alliance for Community Development. Framed as more than just a live show, the concert positioned music as a tool for collective giving, drawing an audience that came not only for the hits but for the cause behind them.
An Iconic Venue After Dark
Set inside the historic Abdeen Palace, the concert felt especially cinematic. The palace’s regal architecture and central Cairo location added weight to the evening, making it a rare opportunity to experience live music in one of the city’s most symbolic landmarks. The fully seated setup gave the night a refined, almost orchestral feel, fitting for the venue’s grandeur.
Tamer Hosny’s Return to the Stage
The concert also marked Tamer Hosny’s first major public performance following a recent health setback. His return was met with visible warmth from the crowd, turning the night into a subtle celebration of resilience. Throughout the performance, Hosny appeared emotionally present, frequently engaging with the audience and acknowledging their support.
A Setlist Built on Crowd Favourites
Tamer delivered a well-rounded set that leaned heavily on fan-favourite songs spanning his career. The performance balanced high-energy moments with more sentimental tracks, creating a flow that kept the audience engaged while allowing space for reflection, fitting for a night rooted in giving.
When Entertainment Meets Impact
With tickets priced at a premium and organised by Tazkarti Events, the concert successfully merged large-scale entertainment with philanthropy. By the end of the night, Abdeen Palace had witnessed more than just a pop concert; it had hosted an evening that reminded Cairo of the power of live music when it’s tied to a larger purpose.
