DUBAI: Two new international acts have been added to the list of concerts announced to take place at the FIFA World Cup — Black Eyed Peas and J Balvin
World Stage, organized by Qatar Airways and Qatar Tourism in association with Alchemy Project, will bring musical superstars from across the world for six nights of music as part of the Qatar Live 2022 series.
The World Stage will kick off at the Doha Golf Club on Nov. 20 with a show by Grammy Award-winning group Black Eyed Peas, known for chart-topping tracks like “I Gotta Feeling” and “Where is the Love?” The trio, made up of will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo, recently performed in Saudi Arabia and at Expo 2020 Dubai.
On Nov. 24, Colombian reggaeton star J Balvin, one of the world’s best-selling Latin music artists, will entertain concertgoers.
He was the first Latino artist to top Spotify’s global streaming charts singing only in Spanish.
Other acts and ticket prices for World Stage have yet to be announced.
Last week, Saudi music entertainment company MDLBEAST revealed the list of 56 international and regional artists confirmed to perform at ARAVIA at Qatar’s Al Rihla venue during the FIFA World Cup season.
