Bahrain Mirror: Bahraini signer Adel Mahmoud said that the festival program of National Day, which falls on December 16, doesn't include any Bahraini singer. "Bahrain celebrations for National Day without any Bahraini singer".

He added on his Twitter account that every Gulf State celebrates its National Day with majority of national singers. Look how much Saudi Arabia is interested in the Saudi singer, but the Bahraini signer only sees marginalization.

The singer made sure to mention his country's officials in the tweet. He mentioned the Minister of Foreign Affairs Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the Board of the General Authority for Entrainment, Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the representative of the King for Charity Works and Youth Affairs, National Security Advisor and President of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, as well as singer Khalid Al-Sheikh.

Kuwaiti singers Abdullah Al-Ruwaished and Issa Al-Marzouq, Yemeni singer Balqis, and Iraqi singer Mohammad Al-Salem are to take part in the festival, according to the announced program for the National Day celebrations, to be held at Bahrain International Circuit from 13 to 16 December.
