Three days at District 5 in New Cairo, and the first time the region’s working parts have been asked to sit in one room.
Egypt’s first dedicated music summit, Channel 4+, taking place May 14 – 16 at District 5 in New Cairo, has announced the full programme for its debut edition. Led by Tin N Co, Digitent World, Marakez, P+US, and Sound Sauce, the three-day summit brings together key players from across the region’s music industry for a packed schedule of live performances, showcases, workshops, talks, and exhibitions.
From the evolution of mahraganat as a genre to conversations around artist branding and identity-building, Channel 4+ is creating space for some of the region’s most pressing discussions at the intersection of music, culture, finance, and technology. The summit will feature artists, agents, and industry leaders shaping nightlife, creative economies, and contemporary cultural movements, from underground scenes to global festival stages.
Alongside its panel discussions, the programme includes a series of specialised workshops spanning music production, publishing and rights management, and music video direction. Sessions will feature Egyptian rap artist Marwan Moussa, entertainment lawyer Khaled Mitwally, and acclaimed filmmaker Director X, known for his visual work with artists including Drake and Rihanna.
Ahead of Channel 4+, we’ve compiled a list of the standout talks from the summit’s extensive agenda that shouldn’t be missed. For the full schedule and ticket bookings, visit ch4plusmusic.com.
