Join us for the grand finale of Somali Week Festival 2025 — a night filled with music, memory, and deep respect for one of the greatest icons in Somali Culture, and Music. This year’s closing concert pays tribute to the extraordinary Hibo Nuura, whose voice and presence have shaped generations of Somali music and identity.
Hibo Nuura’s songs are etched into the soundtrack of Somali life. Her artistry, influence, and contribution to Somali music over decades are impossible to overstate. On this special night, she’ll be honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award, presented in partnership with SAAFI, as part of a joyful musical celebration featuring both classic performances and fresh interpretations of her work.
Expect powerful live sets from a stellar line-up, including:
Hibo Nuura, Aar Maanta, Farxiya Kabayare, Abdirahman Nasri, Nimco Yasin, Ikran Mahabe, Gaelo, Nimco Degan, Idil Barkhad and Shukri Sha’ani — with more surprise guests to be announced.
This is more than a concert. It’s a tribute, a homecoming, and a collective moment of honouring a voice that has carried the heart of Somali culture across time and borders.
Our highly anticipated and popular closing concert of the festival allows us to celebrate the most exciting current artists in a grand musical concert. During the concert we will also pay tribute to the lifetime achievements of Hibo Nuura, who will be presented with a lifetime achievement award (presented in partnership with SAAFI). This musical celebration is not to be missed!
