Summer Fusion Open Air
Summer Fusion is an open air rock and metal concert in Lebanon organized by Rockring.[1]
Summer Fusion returned in 2016 with its fifth installment. Already held four times previously, Summer Fusion 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2015 brought together the Lebanese metal and rock scene for various lineups under one main theme: a full day of beachfront leisure and music. Summer Fusion's 6th installment was held on September 2, 2017 at Mocean beach resort in Kaslik, Lebanon.[citation needed]
