Carthage Festival 60th Edition Highlights: Programming Challenges and Elissa-Jebali Debate
The management of the Carthage International Festival has announced the organization of its sixtieth edition, scheduled from July 16 to August 19, 2026, with a budget of up to 3.5 million dinars. The festival will feature 20 evenings of entertainment, including 19 musical performances and one theatrical show. The program will be distinguished by a breakdown of 65% Tunisian acts and 35% international acts. The festival will open with the artist Saber Al Rubaie and will close with the Lebanese singer Majida El Roumi, with notable Arab artists participating, such as Cheb Khaled returning after a ten-year absence. The lineup has sparked controversy over the inclusion of Elissa and the exclusion of Tunisian artist Mohamed Jebali, who affirmed that his artistic profile had not been fairly considered.
