Nick Jonas to perform at Fiesta De Los Muertos in Dubai this month

-

Nick Jonas, pictured, will headline Fiesta De Los Muertos at 117 Live Arena in Dubai on October 26, after cancelling last-minute when slated to perform at the same festival last year. The pop star rose to fame with his siblings as a member of The Jonas Brothers, but has since found success as a solo singer with hits Jealous, Close and Right Now, a collaborat­ion with Robin Schulz. Last year, the singer was scheduled to make his Middle Eastern performanc­e debut by headlining the Halloweent­hemed gig, but had to pull out “due to an unforeseen change in work schedule”. He was replaced by inimitable grime star Stormzy. Jonas, 26, has been in headlines recently because of his engagement to actress Priyanka Chopra. The duo were engaged after reportedly dating for just two months. Other acts set for this year’s musical event include Gente de Zona, Chantel Jeffries, The Mariachis, and Hollaphoni­c. Gente de Zona is the first Cuban musical act to ever top Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. Their single, La

Gozadera, in collaborat­ion with Marc Anthony, has amassed more than a billion views on YouTube. Joining them will be American EDM DJ Jeffries, who is known for her single Wait.

The Mariachis will be returning after playing last year’s concert, while UAE favourites Hollaphoni­c will also perform. Tickets are now on sale. For more informatio­n visit www.117live.com.
