On an exceptional night that combined the richness of authenticity with the magnificence of organization, the great Saudi artist Abdul Majeed Abdullah , the "Prince of Gulf Music," performed a historic concert in the Sultanate of Oman, thus launching his first concert of 2026. The concert, which was held at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre, witnessed an unprecedented public turnout, as the hall was packed with 10,000 people, raising the slogan "Sold Out" in an event described as the largest artistic event in the Sultanate in recent times.
An exceptional return and a high-level official presence
This concert was more than just a fleeting musical evening; it was a significant cultural event reflecting the deep artistic ties between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman. The concert gained considerable official prestige with the presence of His Highness Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham bin Tariq Al Said , Minister of Culture, Sports, and Youth of the Sultanate of Oman. Artist Abdul Majeed Abdullah expressed his appreciation for this distinguished attendance, welcoming His Highness to the stage and conveying his profound happiness at this gesture, which underscores the Omani leadership's commitment to refined art.
In the context of strengthening bilateral relations, His Excellency the Saudi Ambassador in Muscat, Ibrahim bin Saad bin Bishan, praised the success of the event, stressing in a tweet that such events play a pivotal role in promoting cultural, tourism and entertainment exchange between the two brotherly countries, reflecting the shared visions for developing the entertainment sector in the region.
World-class organization and an exceptional musical evening
Under the auspices of Rotana Music Group, the concert was a dazzling spectacle befitting the artist's legacy and the discerning taste of the Omani audience. Mr. Salem Al-Hindi, CEO of Rotana, described the concert as "terrific and more than wonderful," noting that such success is not surprising for the "Bird of Melancholy," who boasts a broad fan base spanning generations. Abdul Majeed himself actively engaged with the media and social media, expressing his deep appreciation for the discerning Omani audience.
A journey through time with the most beautiful songs
Led by the renowned maestro Walid Fayad and a large orchestra, Abdul Majeed Abdullah delivered a rich and authentic musical performance, evoking memories of his early days in Oman in 1988. The artist emphasized that Oman possesses a magnificent musical heritage and a rich background of rhythms. The setlist, which the audience enthusiastically embraced, included a selection of his timeless classics and new releases, such as: "Awwal Hikayatna" (Our First Story), "Raheeb" (Awesome), "Tatnafsak Dunyaya" (My World Breathes You), "Ghazal Ma Yunsadi" (A Gazelle That Cannot Be Hunted), "Ya Adeem Al Shawq" (You Who Lack Longing), "Intahal Shakhsiyatak" (Impersonating You), "Ayesh Saeed" (Living Happy), "Al Hob Al Jadeed" (The New Love), and "Ya Ibn Al Awadem" (O Son of Adam). He concluded the set with the song "Shweikh," which holds a special place in the hearts of his fans.
At the end of the night, Abdul Majeed documented these historic moments with a "selfie" with his large audience, promising his fans a pleasant surprise in the form of an upcoming concert in Salalah next summer, thus confirming the continuation of his artistic journey and communication with his audience everywhere.
