This is a pretty big moment for Kuwait’s music scene, and a huge moment for the band. LUMINA, the local alternative metal band, will be opening for the legendary Linkin Park this coming Sunday in Bahrain.
Beyon Al Dana Amphitheatre, the Bahrain venue that recently hosted iconic bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, and Guns N’ Roses, has been actively pushing for local and regional acts to open major shows. LUMINA, being a female fronted band, felt like a natural fit for Linkin Park, who are now also female led.
I’m a bit jealous that they’re going to be backstage with Linkin Park so I can only imagine how surreal it must be for them to be opening up for them. The band members performing this Sunday are:
Latti – Lead vocalist, writer, and co-founder
Mando – Guitarist, composer, and co-founder
Aziz – Synthesist
Aziz Baqer – Drummer
Salem – Bassist and producer
Adel Qattan – Guitarist for the Bahrain show
Areej Saleh of artscene.me is their booking agent.

Haha seems nobody cares. Well i think thats cool & mabrook to them. Local envy is a real thing that runs high.
People care https://www.instagram.com/248am/p/DTh3_QiiBnU/
Not on here i guess
Narcissists are jealous of everyone and everything. It’s exhausting. I’ve been following these guys for years and I think some of the songs they put out are BETTER than Linkin Park’s. There, I said it. Really happy for them. They fully deserve it.
God I hope youre talking about me since you said Narcissist. Thanks blushing. I have everything & more so jealous NO. I just speak facts even if it hurts or offends the weak.
So people on Instagram are more caring than this platform! Logic just flew out of the window…. 😛
no, just more people check the instagram account than they do the blog
Great to see Kuwaitis contributing like this – and they sound good too!
For people like me who do not IG, we are just grateful that Mark continues to post on both platforms. Thank you Mark.
Metalhead here and I care. I wish them the very best and I love to see them winning.
Metalheads need more exposure and a chance to carve out a space for themselves here.
I used to be a metalhead in high school but these days the only metal band I still listen to consistently is Mastodon. They’re the best.
Metalhead to Methhead. Makes a lot of sense now.
