We closed Somali Week Festival 2025 with a vibrant and emotional celebration at Queen Mary University. The Final Beats Concert brought together musicians and performers honouring the legendary Hibo Nuura, whose influence continues to shape generations of Somali artists.

Our 2025 festival opened at the British Library, and the atmosphere felt electric from the moment the doors opened. Guests arrived early, filling the hall with the familiar excitement that always surrounds Somali Week — a mix of community pride, reunion energy, and anticipation for what the next ten days would bring.
