Arab superstars Amr Diab, Hussain Al Jassmi and Elissa will be performing as part of the highly anticipated after race events during Formula One weekend in Abu Dhabi.
Diab, the biggest selling Arab recording artist of all time will top the bill on October 31 for the first of four days of music concerts on the capital’s Yas Island. Award-winning Emirati artist Hussain Al Jassmi and three times world music award winner Lebanese superstar Elissa, who were both judges on this year’s The X Factor Arabia, will take to the stage before him in an Arab music showcase organized by Yasalam.
The event will take place in the arena that opened in 2009 adjacent to the Formula One racetrack. Since then it has hosted more than 50 artists including Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Beyonce and Madonna. UK electronic legends Depeche Mode will perform at the November 3rd finale concert, with the line-up for the November 1st and November 2nd concerts still to be announced.
Ticket holders for the Grand Prix will be able to attend all four concerts as part of the entry ticket privileges – called Y1 Access – which also include 2 complimentary invitations to the Thursday After-Race Concert, 2 Friends Friday invitations, After-Race Concert Golden Circle upgrades, and discounts on selected FLASH events throughout the year.
