DJs Axwell and R3hab will headline the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix After-Race Concerts in Jeddah. Both artists will take the decks at the main stage of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for separate sets on March 26 and 27. The concerts are free for Formula One ticket holders.
The news should go down as a treat for Saudi fans with Axwell and R3hab previously performing to large crowds in the kingdom. In December, both acts played to more than 150,000 people as part of the mammoth Soundstorm festival in Riyadh.
For Axwell, real name Axel Hedfors, it was his first performance in Saudi Arabia and served as a worthy follow up to one of the biggest years in his career. In January, the Swede was part of pop music’s biggest albums, Dawn FM by The Weeknd, having co-produced and written the tracks Sacrifice and How Do I Make You Love Me.
This was followed up by this month's announcement that his celebrated group Swedish House Mafia will release the debut album Paradise Again on April 15 and undertake a European arena tour in October.
As for R3hab, real name Fadil El Ghoul, the Moroccan-Dutch artist is a regular performer in the kingdom with shows in Jeddah and Riyadh.
In an interview with The National, he counted his 2019 performance at Riyadh's MDL Beast festival (now known as Soundstorm) alongside Egyptian popstar Amr Diab as a career highlight.
"It was funny. My mother usually doesn't watch my shows, but this one she really wanted to see because I was there with Diab," he said. “It is always great when your family is interested in what you do, but when you do something that resonates with their culture, that just makes it extra special.”
R3hab will arrive with a swag of recently released tracks including Most People, a collaboration with Danish band Lukas Graham and his remix of Fireboy DML and Ed Sheeran's hit Peru.
The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix runs from March 25 to 27 at Jeddah Corniche Circuit. Tickets start from 124 Saudi riyals ($33) and are available at Saudiarabiangp.com
Mane points for safe home colouring
- Natural and grey hair takes colour differently than chemically treated hair
- Taking hair from a dark to a light colour should involve a slow transition through warmer stages of colour
- When choosing a colour (especially a lighter tone), allow for a natural lift of warmth
- Most modern hair colours are technique-based, in that they require a confident hand and taught skills
- If you decide to be brave and go for it, seek professional advice and use a semi-permanent colour
Real estate tokenisation project
Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.
The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.
Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
