Saudi Arabia draws crowds in the hundreds for first Riyadh concert since COVID-19 outbreak

RIYADH: Hundreds gathered on Thursday for the first concert in the Saudi capital Riyadh since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic to watch performances by Syrian diva Assala Nasri and Kuwaiti singer Nabil Shuail.

However, it was not the first concert in the Kingdom since the beginning of the virus, as Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli sang in April at the ancient Saudi city of Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
