Top 5 disastrous concerts in Egypt

While performing in our ancient land might sound like a dream come true for international musicians, we have a habit of driving them away...

Meglomaniac organisers, delusions of grandeur, siphoned money, fights, falls and f**k ups. Despite the promise of sell-out performances in the ancient desert surroundings of Egypt, we're just not very good at throwing international concerts. Yesterday news came out of the calamity that was the Enqique Iglesias concert; yet another artist who has sworn never to play in Egypt again. Whether it's bogus contracts or broken stages here's a run down of the most disastrous concerts in Egypt.

Mariah Carey - Pyramids - 17 May 2010

After three hours of apocalyptic brainwashing from sponsors Etisalat, the seated concert (where you couldn't actually see the Pyramids) saw an electrical fire set alight on stage which Mariah Carey herself had to put out, before tweeting about it. She sang about five songs, and the stage was too far away from anyone in the crowd.
