Twitter's saying he supposedly self confirmed earlier.

Oh and Emily's just said that K.O.L aren't playing. I'll take that over any line-up announcement.

Hell to the yeah!

To both Omar Souleyman and no KOL.

West Holts perhaps - though mayber better suited somewhere like Club D...ada

[eFestivals]

the date is on his website.

Excellent.

"around five hundred studio and live albums have been released under his name".

Most of them are copied cassettes and live performances, I think.

I was in Syria for a while last year and had a look in a few record stalls in the various souks but didn't see anything by him at all.

In fact, I played some Omar Souleyman for a few locals and all of them hated it. One even said that it was the worst example of that type of music (dabke) that he'd ever heard.
