Lebanese singer Fares Karam is preparing for a concert in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region. The main event in capital Erbil had been delayed for weeks due to a fall in ticket sales. Ticket prices reportedly skyrocketed to $500 each, but now the concert is back on schedule, to be attended by a diverse, international audience. After Erbil, Fares will hold more shows in Lebanon, before Ramadan and travelling to Canada.
