MIXTAPE presents Sugababes, Busted, Vengaboys and Snap! In Dubai

Live Nation Middle East and Bla Bla Dubai are thrilled to announce MIXTAPE, a spectacular day-to-night celebration of 90’s and 00’s music favorites.

The event is set to take place at Bla Bla Dubai on 18 November.

The lineup includes chart-toppers Sugababes, Busted, Vengaboys, Snap!, and the charismatic Chris Moyles, who will be serving as both the host and DJ for the day.

Sugababes: Sugababes became one of the most successful British girlbands of the 21st century with six Number One singles, millions of global sales and multiple multi-platinum albums. Along the way they told one of the most spectacular stories of the modern pop era, but it all started with one song, three voices and a mysterious white label 7”. 

Fast forward two decades, the original line up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy arrived back in full force becoming the talk of the summer festivals including having to shut down their field at Glastonbury due to demand. 

Busted: It’s been twenty years since Busted bounced into the charts with the irrepressible pop-punk energy of their debut single ‘What I Go To School For’. It kickstarted a succession of hits for the trio, including the #1 smashes ‘Crashed The Wedding’, ‘Who’s David’, ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’, ‘You Said No’ and the Top 3 singles ‘Year 3000’, ‘Air Hostess’ and ‘Sleeping With The Light On’. Now Busted celebrate their 20th anniversary by announcing details of a major UK arena tour featuring the original much-loved trio - James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis. 

Vengaboys: Vengaboys are back and hotter than ever since their global return in 2009. The Vengaboys Live Experience showcases their multiplatinum hits Up & Down, Kiss (When the sun Don’t Shine), We Like To Party!, Uncle John From Jamaica, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!, We’re Going To Ibiza!, and Shalala Lala, along with current Top-40 party hits that are regularly added to the mix.  

The original members of the Vengaboys are a 'lean and mean party-machine' and definitely know how to get the party on powered by insane outfits, live vocals, and spectacular visuals for a night of full-on fun! Fun fact: Every three minutes someone, somewhere in the world, mentions the Vengaboys on social media. 

SNAP!: The euro-dance group SNAP! is officially represented on stage by internationally renowned lead singer Penny Ford, and new rap artist Jesse Kolb. Together they perform all the biggest SNAP! hits live including ‘Rhythm Is a Dancer’ and international megahit ‘The Power’.  

With a gospel background, Penny’s musical roots run deep down into her family tree. Her father worked with legends such as James Brown and Kool and the Gang and Penny herself has gone on to work with iconic stars including Prince and Chaka Khan. 

SNAP!’s 1990 debut album World Power has sold more than seven million copies and is one of the most successful dance albums ever. It showcases not only ‘The Power’ but other world hits like ‘Ooops Up’, ‘Cult of Snap’ and ‘Mary Had A Little Boy’, all sung and co-written by Penny Ford.
