Cassette 90s Band comes to the Alexandria library on 23 October
The library’s official October events listing places Cassette 90s Band at Bibliotheca Alexandrina on 23 October 2026. The entry identifies the organiser as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Cultural Outreach Arts Center and classifies the programme as a concert open to the public. The official October events listing gives the date and venue.
The operator’s ticketing calendar lists the performance from 8pm to 9.15pm on 23 October 2026. It places the event in the Conference Center’s Small Theater, rather than in the main reading room or one of the library’s exhibition spaces. The operator’s event calendar confirms the time and the concert title.
Why the October concert belongs to a much larger complex
Bibliotheca Alexandrina opened to the public in 2002 after construction from 1994 to 2001. The building stands in Alexandria beside the Mediterranean and includes a conference centre, a planetarium, a school of library and information science and facilities for preserving rare books and manuscripts.
Snøhetta designed the building as a large tilted disc, with a granite wall beneath the disc carrying carved alphabets. Its cultural programme extends beyond books: the Institution of Civil Engineers describes a venue that hosts lectures, classes, conferences and concerts as well as library activities. That wider programme explains why Cassette 90s Band is scheduled in the Conference Center, a dedicated part of the complex rather than the reading spaces. The architectural and historical background is set out by the Institution of Civil Engineers overview.
