The show is part of Virgin Radio’s 15th birthday bash.
Dubai, you bring the stars out. The hitmaker Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu – better known as Tinie Tempah – is coming to the city. The British rapper has been announced as the headline act of Virgin Radio’s 15th birthday bash at Global Village. Plus, the event includes British singer Raye and DJ Dany Neville. So, if you want to join the fun, here’s how to catch stars like Tinie Tempah in Global Village on 19 February.
Tinie Tempah hails from Plumstead, South London, and has been in the music industry for more than ten years. Fun fact: when he was 12 years old, he was inspired by So Solid Crew’s 21 Seconds, and created his own stage name after flicking through a thesaurus.
Over Tinie Tempah’s career, he has collaborated with Jess Glynne, Labrinth, Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding. We are hoping he plays his hit songs, from Pass Out to Written in the Stars. Today, he is one of the UK’s biggest rap artists, as he has won two BRIT Awards and had six UK number one singles. Tinie Tempah is clearly a fan of the region, as he has performed in Dubai before, and recently was part of Pure White’s BudX FIFA Fan Festival.
The Virgin Radio line-up also includes British singer and songwriter, Raye. The artist has worked with Beyonce, Ellie Goulding, David Guetta, John Legend and Khalid. Raye has more than 2.3 billion streams, and her most recent single Escapism has become a TikTok sensation.
The Virgin Radio event also welcomes Kris Fade, Priti Malik, Big Rossi, Eddie, Brent Black, Maz Hakim, and Nala. Plus, Virgin Radio’s own award-winning DJ and producer, Dany Neville, opens the concert at 6.30pm.
Global Village is a fun-filled, family-friendly destination. The space includes live entertainment, shops and restaurants, which draw inspiration from around the world.
Tickets to see Raye and Tinie Tempah in Global Village start from AED 20.
Happy birthday, Virgin Radio.
