A lot of interesting events are set to be held across the UAE this weekend. We select some of the best events to make it an exciting week for you. Here are our pick of events to check out this weekend.
Beliebers, ready for the Biebs?
This is one concert music lovers have been anxiously waiting for a very, very long time! Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber is finally here to perform at the Autism Rocks Arena on Saturday as part of his Purpose World Tour. We heard this is his only performance in the area, so better be there! The last time the singer was in town, the demand for tickets was so high, Bieber had to sing the next day too. There's no news of that happening this time. Beliebers are you excited?
