From a Brit blues star at Dubai Opera to American rappers at Dubai super clubs to some 90s nostalgia in Media City…

It’s a diverse weekend for music in the city, as four artists take to various stages across Dubai. Whether you’re into 90s boyband hits, American rap music or like your pop blues, there’s a Dubai gig for just about anyone.

Here are 4 artists performing in Dubai this weekend.

Thursday: Boyzlife at Bongo’s Bingo

Yes, we did say bingo, but this round may not be quite as you know it. When Bongos Bingo burst onto the Media City party scene in 2016 it brought thumping sing alongs, novelty prizes and improptu raves with it. The next installment is March 22, complete with a performance from Boyzlife (that’s one half of Boyzone and one half of Westlife), and we’ve already got our eyes down, and on that Henry the Hoover prize…

ON42, Media One Hotel Dubai Media City, 8pm onwards, Thursday March 22, Dhs150. Tel:056 895 7532. More info on Facebook
