If there's a 2000s hit stuck in your head on repeat, it's time to take that singalong somewhere bigger. Akon is heading to Dubai, bringing a string of nostalgic favourites to the stage at the Emirates Dubai 7s.
The singer is set to headline the Frequency on 8 stage at The Sevens Stadium on the festival's second day, Saturday, November 28. Get ready to sing along, because this is one set that promises plenty of familiar tunes.
What to expect
Expect hits, and plenty of them. Akon is bringing the 2000s classics, including ‘Smack That’, ‘I Wanna Love You’ and ‘Right Now (Na Na Na)’. His anticipated setlist also includes favourites such as ‘Lonely’ and ‘Don't Matter’.
With more than 35 million albums sold worldwide, there's certainly no shortage of singalong material. Your personal Akon favourite could make an appearance, so bring your voice and don't be shy about using it.
The singer joins a festival line-up featuring DJ sets from British girl group member Mel C on Saturday, November 28, and renowned British DJ Jax Jones on Sunday, November 29.
He's no stranger to Dubai
Dubai has welcomed Akon before. He performed in the city in 2009, with the sold-out concert remembered by fans as one of the year's standout shows.
