The 67th International Festival of Sousse opens on Thursday 2 July at the Théâtre de Plein Air Sidi Dhaher in Sousse. The event data states gates open at 20:00 and shows begin at 21:00; however, teskerti.tn lists the start time as 19:00 — the editor should confirm the correct time before publishing.

Tickets are priced at 30 TND and are available online at teskerti.tn.

The International Festival of Sousse has been a fixture of the Tunisian summer since 1958, drawing audiences to the open-air Sidi Dhaher theatre for an evening programme of Arab music, variety shows and live performance. The venue sits in the heart of Sousse, a city whose UNESCO-listed medina and seafront make it one of the country's main summer destinations.
