US chart-toppers Black Eyed Peas to perform at Expo 2020 Dubai

DUBAI: The Black Eyed Peas are set to hit the stage at Expo 2020 Dubai as part of the six-month “Infinite Nights” series. The Los Angeles-formed trio, consisting of will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo, will be performing music from their most recent album “Translation” in addition to their chart-topping hits such as “Where is the Love?” and “My Humps” live at Al Wasl Plaza on Jan. 25.

The concert will be streamed globally on www.virtualexpodubai.com, and available to watch across multiple channels, including Expo TV on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and Oculus (VR), for those who can’t make it.

The Black Eyed Peas said in a statement: “As a group, we continue to evolve our music to connect with the hearts and minds of our community around the world. We are excited about our upcoming Expo 2020 Dubai Infinite Nights special concert that will showcase chart-topping music from our recent album ‘Translation’ as well as our greatest hits.”

The group are the latest in a long-line of renowned artists to hit the stage as part of the “Infinite Night” series, which saw performances by global and Arab superstars, including Alicia Keys, Nancy Ajram and Ragheb Alama among others.

“After the huge global success we enjoyed with Alicia Keys performing in Infinite Nights in December, we cannot wait to host our second global stars here at Expo 2020 Dubai. The Black Eyed Peas have always inspired us with their progressive global outlook and innovative approach to exploring new musical possibilities, making them the perfect fit for Expo 2020 and for its subtheme of Mobility,” said Lubna Haroun, Vice President, Moment-Makers, Expo 2020 Dubai.

Review: Voyna 19 — ready-to-wear pieces designed with precision

  • The collection features pieces such as the trench jumpsuit and signature belts, which highlight attention-to-detail and create garments suited for fast-paced urban life

In today’s fashion landscape, a few brands stand out not just for selling clothes but for presenting a clear lifestyle vision.

Among these emerging names gaining attention regionally and internationally is Voyna 19, a contemporary women’s fashion label that blends modesty with modernity and offers a forward-looking take on elegance. 

At its core, Voyna 19 focuses on ready-to-wear pieces designed with precision, combining comfort with a bold artistic touch.

The brand recently launched its “Silence” fall-winter 2025/26 collection, which marks an evolution in its identity toward more structured, contemporary pieces.

The capsule emphasizes clean lines, geometric cuts and layering techniques that balance strength and femininity. Each piece is designed for flexibility and movement, catering to women seeking elegance that fits seamlessly into a modern, urban lifestyle.  

The collection features pieces such as the trench jumpsuit and signature belts, which highlight attention-to-detail and create garments suited for fast-paced urban life.

The use of textures, precise tailoring and layered silhouettes demonstrates the brand’s commitment to blending practicality with high-concept design.  

While Voyna 19 excels in blending modernity with modesty, the brand could further diversify its palette and materials to appeal to a broader range of climates and cultural contexts.

Some pieces, though visually striking, may lean toward conceptual styling that might not fully translate into everyday wear for all women. Expanding accessibility in sizing and experimenting with more versatile, seasonless designs could help the brand to strengthen its global presence.
