AleziRadio Festival of Songs 1996 is the thirty-ninth edition of the annual AleziRadio Festival of Songs. The competition was held as usual in 16th of May 1996 by the authorities of Radio Zafizamarrah. This is the fifteenth time that the region of Zafizamarrah hosted the competition after the victory of Arfin and The Four representing Zafizamarrah with the song "على ماذا حصلت؟".
The festival was once again organized by the authorities of Radio Zafizamarrah. However, the authorities took an unusual (albeit not rare) decision to not host the competition in Metropolitan Zafizamarrah. In this case, Radio Zafizamarrah holds a bidding round to the outlying interested cities. In the bidding process, three cities were shortlisted: Mahmuddayn, Iskandaruddin, and Nafizarran. In the process, Mahmuddayn was selected.
Mahmuddayn is the fifth largest city in the region of Zafizamarrah as of 1996 (as of 2021, it's the seventh) with the population of 263,222 according to 1996 census.
