Abu Dhabi F1 Corniche Concerts
So you don’t have tickets to the Abu Dhabi F1? While you won’t get to enjoy the concerts on the track (with BeyoncĂ© and Aerosmith), you’ll still be able to chill out on the Corniche and see numerous performances for free.
Aptly named Beats on the Beach, these five nights of ocean side concerts will feature Hussein Al Jasmi, Myriam Fares and Raghab Alame, rub shoulders with legends Soul II Soul, The Wailers and US hip-hop star Timbaland amongst others. Bring a mat or chairs with you to the beach, or if you own a boat, come anchor alongside to watch the show.

Great having all these live music, great buzz too! but as a Corniche resident I think there should be some sort of curfew especially on working days, so you know you’ll get some sleep, 3 hours is not enough to go to work on, what does anyone else think?

Soul 2 Soul?!!! Haven’t seen these guys in a long time but I’m glad I’ll be able t enjoy this on the beach! Timbaland, whats up! I just wish Nelly Furtado was coming too.
Yeah, I think they have movies on the beach too. This should be a lot of fun. We need more activities like this in AD. I’m looking forward to Soul 2 Soul and the Wailers.
