Personally I would have gone if it was Adele but I agree that Rihanna is hardly a good singer. She succeeds on her looks and naughtiness, which probably won't come across too well on a big stage in a Muslim venue. I may be completely wrong, who knows? Also, Rihanna has an unfortunate habit of dropping out at the last minute through ill health or whatever.

speaking of which - is the boy wonder playing Dubai tonight, or a different night? or has he dropped out of that as well?

I think I'll pass. I'm hoping the proposed Sports City Rock Festival comes to fruition in October, with Soundgarden headlining.

Dubai - where you can catch up with all those bands you missed in the 90's because you were too drunk or skint to go and see them first time round.

I got a gig with the local NUS magazine, reviewing bands in Manchester, in the 90s. Tough job, but someone had to do it :cool:

On seeing her entrance on stage here, I commented that Rihanna and I were wearing the same underwear.. However, i'd had the foresight to put some clothes on top.

The tickets seem to be going on sale very early for Dubai. Isn't it normally a oh shit we've booked the artist but forgot to sell the tickets type scenario? they are giving it a whole 6 months....arethey expecting it to take a while to sell thru?

Personally I would rather impale myself on a blunt object but get why all the pervs, I mean men would want to go along, i guess it would be an earplugs and kleenex gig- ewww.

Already booked. Get the entertainer and there is a 2 for 1 for some of the Yas hotels.

If you want a great deal on a hotel for the concert you should look at the Premier Inn website. They have a new hotel opening this summer at Abu Dhabi Airport - just 350AED for the Rihanna concert and only minutes from the venue. :)
