Entertainment: Rock Concerts in Dubai

Post new topic

fuaadlazaki

Hi, Im starting this new thread. Does anyone know why there are no Rock Concerts in Dubai? I meant great rockbands like Radiohead, MUSE, Kings of Leon, etc..

LimpBizkit was here weren't they in 2005? Where Fred Durst froze before performing on stage in front of the crowd in the dessert..

If you know any info on this, do reply to me. I need a break.

I remember Muse were in Dubai in 2008!
Kings of Leon were in Abu Dhabi in 2009!
Hopefully Radiohead in the future :P

Merci Vocu! So who's bringing Radiohead here? It'd be great if Incubus could come too..

Armand

There used to be the Dubai Desert Rock Festival!
It's a shame they cancelled it! The groups were amazing!
Incubus was there in 2007 :)

In February 2010, the organisers of the Dubai Desert Rock Festival (Center Stage Management) announced that they were not going to be holding the festival, in an effort to 'extend the reach of the company'.

--What does that even mean?

We don't have any such concerts here :(

umm from what i know, it's due to recession. not sure about that, but that's my assumption. or probably, they prefer to produce concerts elsewhere--not sure about that either!
