A popular grassroots movement has rejected the Lebanese artist Mohamed Iskandar’s scheduled concert in the Wadi Al-Nasara area near Homs, protesting his past supportive stance towards the former Syrian regime. As a result, the concert, planned as part of the “Lady’s Feast” celebrations on August 14, was canceled. The objection arose after invitation posters were circulated, with residents ripping up the banners, deeming the hosting of an artist associated with pro-regime positions unacceptable—especially amid growing controversy over the participation of some artists loyal to the defeated regime in concerts within Syria, whose positions are now being scrutinized and called for acknowledgment and apology. The Le Royal Palace Hotel, which was set to host the event, announced its cancellation out of respect for the community’s feelings, amidst calls to link art with national stances. The controversy traces back to Iskandar’s behavior during the Syrian revolution, where he publicly supported the regime and maintained connections with the Assad family. This has intensified criticism of his return to the artistic scene amid the current circumstances.
