Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival 2016

Legendary Multi Grammy-award winning US Pop-Rock band TOTO will headline the opening night of the 14th Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival® 2016, which will take place from 24-26 February at the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre.

The band famous for hits such as Africa, Rosanna, Hold the Line and I’ll Be Over You just to name a few are no strangers to Dubai or the festival itself where they performed a sold out gig back in 2007.

TOTO’s return to the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival® falls a year short of the 40th anniversary of the timeless band which merges a delightful mix of jazz, rock, power-pop and soul that helped them enter into the Music Hall of Fame in 2009. Their latest album TOTO XIV exhibits world-class musicianship, masterful arrangements, topical lyrical commentary and melodies that the collective genius of David Paich, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, Joseph Williams and their assembled band-mates bring to life.

During its 13-year-long history, the Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival® has been an attraction for many fans from all over UAE and the region with a total of 428,000 music attendees. Last edition’s event was the best ever in terms of attendance as each day was sold out for a total of 35,000 over three days.

Under the slogan “A Unique Take on Music, Art and Lifestyle”, the 14th edition is certain to be yet another one of a kind experience for all.

Festival goers will not only be enticed with an eclectic mix of artists’ world-class performances, but also with the cool hangout experience and laid-back charm in an exceptional atmosphere, all arranged to have an exquisite set up for people of all ages.
