The hit singer, known for chartbusters such as Smack That, Lonely, Locked Up and Beautiful, has just been unveiled as the third artist to perform as part of the World Tennis League’s post-game concert series. Previous artists confirmed include Summer of 69 legend Bryan Adams on December 19, and Chicago native Anastacia, on December 20.

Akon dominated the global charts primarily between 2005 and 2010, with several of his hits becoming overnight party anthems. Several of his hits were also collaborations with other leading names in the industry.

Last December, Akon performed alongside another R’n’B heavyweight in Ne-Yo, also as part of the World Tennis League, at the Etihad Arena. Fans in the UAE capital can expect another evening of his superhits in this welcome encore.

Here’s where you can register your interest for tickets.
