Petra hosts ASH in Little Petra on 13 November 2026, bringing an open-air performance to the archaeological landscape near Wadi Musa, Jordan. The event is listed by Jordan's official calendar and places the concert at Little Petra, the northern outlying site associated with the wider Petra area.
ASH brings an open-air concert to Little Petra
Nebula is presenting ASH at Little Petra on Friday, 13 November 2026. The official event listing describes an outdoor performance led by ASH, with supporting artists and production designed specifically for the natural surroundings.
The programme is presented as a full evening experience at Little Petra rather than as a performance inside the principal archaeological centre. The listing says that further information about arrival times, entry procedures and event guidelines will be communicated to ticket holders. The official event listing names both the date and Little Petra as the location.
Little Petra extends Petra's rock-cut setting
Little Petra forms part of the wider archaeological landscape around Petra. UNESCO describes the property as a Nabataean caravan city that is partly built and partly carved into rock, surrounded by mountains, passages and gorges.
The wider site contains tombs, temples, water installations and other remains linked to past settlements in the region. UNESCO also identifies Barid, or Little Petra, as an outlying caravan staging post on the approach from the north. That connection gives the November concert a specific relationship with the heritage property: its setting is not simply near a landmark, but within the wider landscape that UNESCO records as part of the Petra area. UNESCO's Petra profile records the site's World Heritage inscription in 1985 and its archaeological features.
Music at Little Petra follows the site's landscape
The event listing links the concert's production to the natural surroundings of Little Petra. It identifies electronic music and live instrumentation as part of ASH's performance, while the supporting artists are not named on the official page.
For visitors, the distinction between the main site and Little Petra matters. The concert venue is specifically Little Petra, while the event listing separately describes Petra as the location. The practical information released so far therefore points travellers towards the northern site rather than assuming that the performance will take place beside the Treasury or along the Siq.
