Be transported to the Arabic-speaking world through the mesmerising sounds of the region at Marsm’s 12th edition of ‘Open Mic Night – A Night of Arabic Music’.

A little different to your average Open Mic event, Marsm’s editions each host around 8 acts who have pre-prepared 1-2 songs to perform for the audience, accompanied by the night’s wonderful core band. These songs could be anything from Tarab to Pop – as long as they are in keeping with the theme of Arabic Music, anything goes! At the end of the night, the audience is then invited to the stage for some impromptu performances – this could be a guitar solo, a rap duo, a percussion trio… who knows how the night could end!

Want to sign up for a slot with the band in advance?

Email the host Layla at layla@marsm.co.uk and she’ll let you know if there are any slots available.

Thinking about coming on stage from the audience?

Grab yourself a ticket and find Layla on the night to sign up. Whilst we always try our best to give everyone the chance to come up on the stage, kindly keep in mind that this is dependent on the amount of time left on the night, the number of people signing up, and whether you have performed at one of our events before.

Want to just enjoy the music?

Purchase a ticket in advance and tell your friends! The Open Mic welcomes a beautiful supportive community from across the Arabic-speaking world and the diaspora.

See you in February.
