In addition to Kesha, The Chainsmokers, and Kelli-Leigh, here are other acts performing at the weekend festival. They include American rapper Russ, Craig David, <span>Lebanese singer Anthony Touma, singer </span>Bebe Rexha, and <span>Marshmello.</span> <strong><span>Anthony Touma</span></strong> <span>The Lebanese singer is aiming to announce </span><span></span><span>his</span><span> arrival </span><span>at RedFestDXB</span><span>. The </span><span></span><span>semi-finalist</span><span> of Season 2 of </span><span><em>The Voice </em></span><span>in France recently signed </span><span></span><span>with</span><span> </span><span></span><span>major</span><span> label Universal Music Mena and released his breezy new single </span><span><em>Walk Away</em></span><span>. </span> <em><span> Thursday, 6.30pm</span></em> <strong>Kelli-Leigh</strong> Read our interview with <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/music/redfestdxb-2018-kelli-leigh-is-bringing-her-own-sound-1.702732">the singer here</a>. <em>Thursday, 7.30pm</em> <strong>Russ</strong> <span>The American rapper is a one-word, one-man band. Russ </span><span></span><span>hits</span><span> the UAE on the back of his debut album, </span><span><em>There's Really a Wolf</em></span><span>, which is home to hits </span><span><em>Do It Myself </em></span><span>and </span><span><em>Losin</em></span><span><em> Control</em></span><span>. In a welcome change from some of his</span><span> contemporaries, the 25-year-old composed and wrote all the lyrics himself. </span> <em><span>Thursday, 8.30pm</span><span> </span></em> <strong>The Chainsmokers</strong> Read our interview with the <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/music/redfestdxb-2018-the-chainsmokers-on-taking-their-music-in-a-new-direction-1.702758">American dance-duo here</a>. <em>Thursday, 9.30pm</em> <strong><span>Craig David</span></strong> <span>He has become a UAE staple courtesy of his (at least) annual DJ-ing gigs. But this time should be different, because the 36-year-old, known for the hits </span><span></span><span><em>7</em></span><span><em> Days</em></span><span> and </span><span><em>Fill Me In</em></span><span>, </span><span></span><span>is</span><span> playing live on the back of his latest album </span><span><em>The Time Is Now</em></span><span>.</span> <em><span>Friday, 6.20pm</span><span> </span></em> <strong>Bebe Rexha</strong> <span>The </span><span></span><span>American</span><span> singer, of Albanian origin, has been bubbling underneath the surface for a while now, and 2018 is shaping up to be the year she breaks out as a full-blown pop star. She is currently riding high in the charts with </span><span></span><span>country</span><span> tune </span><span><em>Meant to Be</em></span><span>, and she returns to Dubai for </span><span></span><span>her</span><span> biggest show here yet, with a new batch of pop tunes from her two-part </span><span><em>All Your Fault </em></span><span>EP series.</span><span> </span> <em>Friday, 7.35pm</em> <strong><span>Marshmello</span></strong> <span>The </span><span></span><span>American</span><span> producer and DJ, who wears a </span><span>smiley-faced bucket on his head on stage, will take to the decks to deliver his blend of hip-hop beats and progressive house. But don't let the looks fool you: the 25-year-old is a hot commodity on the touring circuit, </span><span></span><span>making</span><span> </span><span></span><span>more</span><span> than US$20 million (Dh73.5m) last year</span><span>.</span> <em><span>Friday, 8.30pm</span></em> <strong>Kesha</strong> Read our interview with the <a href="https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/music/redfestdxb-2018-kesha-opens-up-about-putting-the-past-behind-her-1.702628">pop star here</a>. <em>Friday, 10pm</em> <em>RedfestDXB at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre.
