In what is sure to be one of the biggest and most exciting concerts of 2010 Rod Stewart will appear live, for the very first time in Dubai, at 7he Sevens Stadium on Friday, May 7, 2010 Rod Stewart – He Tours It Well With sales of over 160 million albums and sold out concerts across the globe, Rod Stewart is one of the most successful performers of all time. Stewart’s trademark voice has successfully commanded nearly every genre of music including folk, rock, soul, R&B, blues and more, even managing to breathe a unique modernity into the classics. On May 7th Rod Stewart will showcase his career spanning four decades with chart topping hits such as Maggie May, Tonight’s the Night, Forever Young and Hot Legs.Rod Stewart has most recently continued his success with his album, SOULBOOK, a collection of classic soul favorites, all newly recorded by the quintessential “blue eyed soul” singer.The Dubai concert will precede one of Rod’s hottest UK Arena tours ever, where he has sold out 24 arena shows in record time further cementing his status as a superstar of our generation. To complete a night of pure hits Spandau Ballet will complete the bill as special guests:One of the most influential bands of the 80’s, Spandau Ballet became THE band of the decade and beyond with smash singles such as Gold, True, Through The Barricades, and many more. The reunited and hotter than ever Spandau Ballet is currently touring Europe after playing to sell out crowds in the UK including three nights at London’s O2 Arena. The band will perform their full set from this Reformation Tour. Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley says: "We can't wait to get to Dubai and perform there for the first time. There is a such an international community over there and it is great to be able to take our show over to them. Our shows in the UK and Europe have gone down so well, we can't wait to carry on playing! Also, to be able to perform on the same bill as the legendary Rod Stewart will be great fun and such an honour!"“We have really been looking forward to presenting Rod Stewart live in concert, the show is amazing and includes all his greatest hits, songs most people will treasure and be able to relate to” says Thomas Ovesen Managing Director of AEG Live Middle East. “But being able to add reunited Spandau Ballet, performing their full world tour show, at the same event just means that the May 7th concert will be a real extravaganza and something very special – no doubt we will have a capacity crowd at 7he Sevens Stadium”, continues Mr. Ovesen.Gary Chapman, President Emirates Group Services and Dnata, is delighted the venue is being used for the concert and said: “Through tournaments like the Rugby World Cup Sevens in 2009, 7he Sevens has quickly established a reputation for successfully hosting major events, giving us a platform to launch the first Emirates Airline Dubai Football 7s next month. It is another exciting step for us to be staging a concert featuring legendary acts like Rod Stewart and Spandau Ballet and we look forward to UAE music fans coming to 7he Sevens to see more acts of this calibre in the future.”Get your tickets for this once in a lifetime event, Rod Stewart and Spandau Ballet.
