JLo’s double date with Dubai this November
DUBAI: Global pop sensation Jennifer Lopez will headline Dubai Airshow’s exclusive gala dinner this November, Dubai Airports has announced.
The 48-year-old singer and actress will perform a set of her greatest hits on Nov. 15, only two days before her near sold-out concert at the Dubai Autism Rocks Arena.
Dubai Airports’ CEO, Paul Griffiths, said: “As one of the globe’s most accomplished female entertainers, Jennifer Lopez shows exactly how the power of music can connect the world. It is not often that, as an airport, we can say we share similar attributes with an artist of Jennifer’s caliber, but there is a definite shared spirit. By inviting such an internationally recognized star, we are affirming the significance of the Dubai Airshow on the world aviation stage and allows Dubai Airports, Emirates and Dubai Duty Free to thank its valued VIP guests and partners for their support.”
Famed for her spectacular international shows, Latino flare and endless hit singles over almost two decades, JLo is expected to wow the 3,500 guests attending the exclusive evening hosted by Dubai Airports. The performance of her chart-topping music, will come just weeks after her “One Voice: Somos Live” charity concert that raised over $35 million to help victims of the recent natural disasters in Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Caribbean.
JLo tops an A-list of performers to have mesmerised Airshow VIP’s at the invitation-only event. The likes of Sir Tom Jones, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and Katy Perry have all entertained guests in previous years.
Tickets for the Dubai Autism Rocks Arena are available online starting at 345 Emirati dirhams ($94).
Thomas Ovesen, CEO of 117Live, organizers of the event, said: “PEOPLE Magazine named her the World’s Most Beautiful Woman and when it comes to her live shows, we know she doesn’t just perform, but throws a Party! So, join us for what will be a fantastic and glamorous night filled with musical hit after hit, great dance routines and a super star show production with the ever sensational JLo.”
