DUBAI, November 13, 2015
Dubai Airports launched its new initiative musicDXB in style as 'Britain's Got Talent' finalists and the UK's new swing kings Jack Pack lit up the world's largest stage for the first time during a 30-minute pop-up concert that entertained passengers Dubai International (DXB).
"We've played in some unique venues, including last night at the Airshow Gala Dinner, but our DXB experience stands out," said Jack Pack's Andrew Bourn.
"It is an innovative idea, a funky setting and a great platform for musicians the world over to showcase their work to a truly global audience," he said.
MusicDXB has set a new standard for global travel by creating a platform which targets a multi-cultural and cosmopolitan audience of over 79 million music lovers who pass through the airport annually, said a statement.
It will feature performances from global superstars, the hottest emerging international acts and up-and-coming local artists to entertain passengers, it said.
The fans who miss the live acts will be able to enjoy highlights on Dubai Airports' social media platforms.
Paul Griffiths, Dubai Airports' chief executive officer, said: "We are thrilled to have launched musicDXB in such fine fashion with Jack Pack. And the celebration of music has only just begun. Over the next eight weeks we will be showcasing some of the UAE's top musical talent.
"We are also extending an invitation to musicians the world over. If you want to play on our stage, if you believe you have what it takes to stand out and entertain a growing global audience, we want to hear from you!"
Musicians, who will be travelling to or through Dubai in January and beyond, have been invited to email musicDXB and supply samples of their work, travel dates and a short testimonial on why they want to participate in musicDXB. - TradeArabia News Service
