Abu Dhabi - Arab Today
Pop stars Jason Derulo, Rita Ora and Ragheb Alama are some of the big names performing at next month's Beats on The Beach.
They join over a dozen international and regional acts who will play free shows at the Abu Dhabi Corniche during the F1 weekend.
The festival is also moving to a new location in the capital's iconic promenade - before it was based on East Plaza and Al Sahil Beach, but the latest edition will move to the West Plaza and Lagoon Beach.
The music action kicks off on Thursday, November 20, with Filipino star Charice leading a bill including American rapper Juicy J and Iraqi songstress Chada Hassoun.
The following night will find Derulo marking his U.A.E. return alongside Bollywood playback singer Hard Kaur and the Emirati singer Ruwaida Mahrooqi.
On November 22, the popular Lebanese crooner Ragheb Alama will take the stage. He will be supported by the British starlet Rita Ora and up-and-coming American pop singer Tinashe.
Each night is also set to feature a solid line up of local acts. Booked to make an appearance at the beach are the popular rockers The Boxtones, Nikotin and Juliana Down in addition to the smoother sounds of Kicksound and Jae Franklin.
