The pop-rap group Black Eyed Peas will play live at Al Wasl Plaza on January 25, 2022, as part of Expo 2020 Dubai’s six-month Infinite Nights series.
The chart-topping quartet are now joining the creating of a new world, as they explore new horizons and the opportunities of future at Expo 2020, having ascended to global megastardom thanks to a run of some of the biggest hits of the twenty-first century.
Throughout the Infinite Nights series, each artist presents their personal vision and experience of Expo 2020. We are delighted to announce that the Alicia Keys performance has surpassed an incredible 15 million video views, with a worldwide and regional audience watching the entire show online across several platforms.
The Black Eyed Peas said: “As a group, we continue to evolve our music to connect with the hearts and minds of our community around the world. We are excited about our upcoming Expo 2020 Dubai Infinite Nights special concert that will showcase chart-topping music from our recent album “TRANSLATION” as well as our greatest hits. On January 25th, we will bring the world together for a global celebration via our live stage performance.”
Lubna Haroun, Vice President, Moment-Makers, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: “After the huge global success we enjoyed with Alicia Keys performing in Infinite Nights in December, we cannot wait to host our second global stars here at Expo 2020 Dubai.
The Black Eyed Peas have always inspired us with their progressive global outlook and innovative approach to exploring new musical possibilities, making them the perfect fit for Expo 2020 and for its subtheme of Mobility.”
Will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap, and Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas are matched with Expo’s subtheme of Mobility, presenting a presentation inspired by the velocity and pulse of technology and music that explores and welcomes new creative horizons.
The Los Angeles-based trio represents a diverse spectrum of ethnic origins, and the group’s open and progressive principles are especially fitting in the setting of a World Expo that will bring together 200 different countries.
The Infinite Nights series, which engages the world through innovative show formats and the latest entertainment technology, thrills audiences both physically and digitally, uniting the world through the power of music with a host of celebrated artists performing live from Al Wasl Plaza and the concerts being streamed to a global audience.
The Black Eyed Peas will play at Al Wasl Plaza on Tuesday, January 25 at 2200 GST, and concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early.
The concert will be livestreamed across the world on www.virtualexpodubai.com and will be available to view on a variety of platforms, including Expo TV on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Oculus Rift (VR). The concert will be televised live on several television stations.
