Bringing his rapidly expanding global presence and genre-defying live show across the Atlantic, the rising star has locked in a six-city headline run across major cultural hubs in the United States and Canada, including stops in Washington, D.C., Toronto, Montreal, New York City, Miami, and Anaheim. Known for creating immersive visual and musical worlds around each project, TUL8TE will bring his signature stage production, enigmatic aesthetic, and boundary-pushing live arrangements to North American audiences for the very first time.

"Hidden behind his signature ski mask, the Cairo-born sensation seamlessly bridges vintage Middle Eastern nostalgia with modern street grit."
The tour caps an explosive year driven by his 10-track concept album Sadeek El Bernameg ("Friend of the Program"). Structured like a late-night relationship radio show, the project generated over 78 million streams in five weeks and features a standout collaboration with Elyanna. Its lead anthem, “Garee2a Awy,” held the No. 1 spot on Billboard Arabia’s Hot 100 for eight straight weeks, while his summer hit “Nano” featuring Saint Levant exploded globally, landing in YouTube’s Global Top 20 alongside international chart debuts across Europe.

Hidden behind his signature ski mask, the Cairo-born sensation seamlessly bridges vintage Middle Eastern pop culture with modern, genre-defying street grit. Fresh off the release of cinematic music videos and a magnetic COLORS performance that racked up tens of millions of views, the masked enigma is ready to translate his viral world into a full-scale live experience.
