“Feel the funky beat with @JamiroquaiHQ on Jan. 24, 2020 at the #WinterAtTantora festival. Imagine grooving to their greatest hits against the backdrop of #AlUla’s historic landscape,” the festival tweeted.

 

The Italian opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, will make his second appearance at the festival on Jan. 31; Spanish pop star, Enrique Iglesias, on Feb. 21; Oscar-winning international star, Lionel Richie, on Feb. 28; Egyptian composer, Omar Khairat, on Dec. 27 and the Greek pianist, Yanni, on Jan. 7.

Shakira to headline second Offlimits fest in Abu Dhabi

DUBAI: Music sensation Shakira has been announced as the headline act for the Offlimits music festival, which returns to Abu Dhabi this year for its second edition.

The Colombian singer will bring her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” world tour to Etihad Park in Yas Island on Apr. 4 to top the bill at the full-day, multi-stage event

One of the world’s most influential artists, Shakira has sold over 95 million records worldwide, earned four Grammy and 15 Latin Grammy Awards, and is the most-streamed female Latin artist of all time.

Shakira’s return marks her fourth performance in the UAE. She previously played Dubai Autodrome in 2007 and has appeared twice in Abu Dhabi before — at Emirates Palace in 2008 and du Arena in 2011.

Last year’s inaugural Offlimits was headlined by Ed Sheeran and featured acts such as OneRepublic, Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, ARTBAT, Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Zeyne.
