Old-school parties don’t get much better than this! Gather your gang and prepare to dance through the evening and into the early hours as a star-studded festival lineup prepares to descend on Bla Bla Dubai. Expect a full afternoon-to-night celebration of throwback anthems as MIXTAPE returns this November 2nd. Following the overwhelming success of the first MIXTAPE festival, the second instalment promises an unmissable evening of revelry, where music fans can sing along to full set performances from beloved 90s and 00s artists S Club, Melanie C, Peter Andre, and Gareth Gates.
Tucked away in the lively streets of JBR and boasting breathtaking views of Ain Dubai, Bla Bla’s pool area will be transformed into a vibrant dancefloor making it the ultimate open-air extravaganza. This is the perfect setting to soak up the groovy tunes and lively atmosphere as MIXTAPE offers music enthusiasts an enviable dose of nostalgia. Serving up a playlist jam-packed with old-school pop bangers, prepare for the beats to keep flowing and the good times to keep rolling during this unforgettable afternoon-to-night pop ballad phenomenon.
Celebrating their 25-year anniversary, S Club will bring their pop legacy and biggest hits to Dubai as they showcase all the classics such as ‘Don’t Stop Movin’, ‘Never Had a Dream Come True’, and ‘Bring It All Back’. The iconic group rose to fame with four UK number-one singles and four multi-platinum-selling albums, achieving global recognition with nine international number-one singles. The performance will be a celebration of new music, the group’s legacy, and their loyal fans, while also paying a heartfelt tribute to late band member Paul Cattermole.
As a member of one of the world’s most famous girl bands of all time, the Spice Girls, and having branched off into a successful solo career, Melanie C has achieved legendary pop icon status. With her eleven UK number-ones making her one of the most successful music artists of the 90s, the beloved Sporty Spice has become the voice of a generation, accumulating an international fan following. Known for her unique vocal prowess, the ‘Wannabe’ singer will light up the Bla Bla Dubai stage for what promises to be an unforgettable performance.
Adding to the excitement of the evening and best known for his hit songs ‘Mysterious Girl’ and ‘Flava’, Peter Andre has celebrated a long and fruitful career in singing, acting, and reality TV appearances. Having climbed high in the UK charts, the singer has also swooned audiences across Europe and captivated fans by featuring in the likes of ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ and ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’
Finishing off the exceptional lineup is Gareth Gates, a British sensation, who has sold over 3 million records in the UK. Rising to fame as the runner-up on the first series of Pop Idol, his debut single, “Unchained Melody,” topped the charts, followed by hits like “Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)” and a collaboration with Will Young. Gareth also became a star on the
West End, featuring in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and “Les Miserables,” while his dynamic career has earned him numerous awards, cementing his status as one of Britain’s most beloved performers.
Adding to the fun, there will be plenty of delicious food and drink choices, as Bla Bla Dubai will serve up everything from burgers to pizzas and sushi, accompanied by a selection of refreshing beverages to keep you fuelled throughout the evening.
