​117Live Announces their Autumn Season

Dubai, UAE:- In an unprecedented move, considering the sheer scale and volume, 117Live today announced what is shaping up to be one of the biggest Autumn concert seasons the region has seen in some time. Off the back of one of the most talked about concert announcements this year (yes.. we are talking about Zayn), 117Live today confirmed another huge line up of events. A brand new annual Halloween themed festival with a ‘killer’ line up aptly named Fiesta De Los Muertos (featuring Major Lazer, All Saints), pop princess Selena Gomez and the legendary Sir Elton John will all perform at The Autism Rocks Arena this Autumn.

"With the 2016 completion of the Autism Rocks Arena and fantastic live performances there by Nicki Minaj, Tyga and Flo Rida we are extremely excited to now continue the roll out of great live events here in Dubai with what proves to be a great Autumn 2016 line up.” says 117Live CEO Thomas Ovesen,” 117Live also produces and promotes shows in Europe, South & Far East Asia and the Americas but staging great concerts, comedy shows and launching new festivals and annual events here in Dubai remains something special for our team. We constantly strive to enhance the audience experience and live show enjoyment and with our fabulous arena we cannot wait to put these now announced shows on sale and to share even more exciting events with the Middle East music and entertainment fans over the coming months – we look forward to seeing you all at our shows this upcoming season!"

Fiesta De Los Muertos will take place at the Autism Rocks Arena on October 28th-featuring the massive reggae/dancehall super stars Major Lazer, as well as the recently reunited girl group All Saints. That’s not all though-there is still a huge announcement to come-making the festival one of the must attend this year. Local talent Hollaphonic will be closing up the night-with one of their much loved DJ sets, and be sure to catch The Mariachis-the fun loving guys regularly seen on TV screens across the UK. With their versions of pop classics with a Mexican twist that include the Human League’s ‘Don’t You Want Me’, East 17′s ‘Stay Another Day’ and Joan Jett’s ‘I Love Rock & Roll’, they will have the whole crowd singing and partying along.

Pop princess Selena Gomez will perform at The Autism Rocks Arena on November 18th as part of her ‘Revival’ world tour. Selena first came to prominence as an actress starring in a Disney Channel series at the age of 15, but she soon showed that her musical talents were perhaps even stronger as she piled up hit singles and chart-topping albums. Now one of the biggest touring stars in pop music, Selena has gone from strength to strength-her latest album ‘Revival’ features several chart topping singles-Selenators, get ready to dance!

Sir Elton John will bring, for the first time ever, a super star performance with his live band on December 15th as part of his ‘Wonderful Crazy Night’ world tour. Sir Elton is one of the most highly acclaimed and successful solo artists of all time. He has achieved 38 gold and 27 platinum or multi-platinum albums, has sold more than 250 million records worldwide, and holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time. Over the five decades since his career began in 1969, Elton has played nearly 4,000 concerts in over 80 countries.

117Live has also revealed two 2017 dates-March 3rd and March 31st. Artists for these dates are still to be announced, so stay tuned and follow 117Live for updates.
