Jordanian artist Jreisat opened the concert, singing and roaming through the gardens of tarab, further cementing his name among the young Jordanian artists poised to be at the forefront of the next generation of stars. The strong connection between Jreisat and the audience stood out during his musical sets, which drew on Jordanian and Levantine folklore — with the crowd clearly engaged during songs such as "Rafaqna Ma Huwa Bil-Hayyin," "El'ab Bi Qalbi wa Ana Atee'ak," and "Ya Sa'd," before he closed his set with two masterpieces by George Wassouf, "Sultan of Tarab": "Yalli Ta'abna Sneen Bi Hawah" and "Qaloo Al-Nas Innak Bay'ani."
From the moment he took the stage at "Al-Qanater," the audience's connection with Palestinian artist Iyad Tannous was evident, as he opened his set with his own song "Enta Za'lan," which the crowd sang along with him, as they also did with his song "Takka Takka Ala Qalbi." He then paid tribute to Jordan and the people of Fuheis, expressing his happiness at singing for the first time at the "Fuheis Festival," saying: "I came carrying the love of the Palestinian people for Jordan, its leadership and its people, and it is an honor for me to sing before you."
Tannous performed a folkloric musical set that included the songs "Wein A Ramallah," "Asmar Ya Al-Shab Al-Mahyoub," "A Al-Ein Moulatein," and "Allah Yimsikom Bil-Khair," before moving into a romantic musical set, delighting the audience with Fadl Shaker's masterpieces "Sahak Al-Shouq" and "Ma'oul," as well as Wael Kfoury's song "Roddou Ya Hawa La'indi." From Iraqi song, he performed "Doha Beeya," and he also moved the audience with Mu'in Sharif's song "As'ab Kalima," before closing by singing "Ya Bayraqna Al-Aali" while wrapped in a Jordanian shemagh.
