Black Eyed Peas to headline January's Infinite Nights series at Expo Dubai 2020

Having risen to global stardom thanks to a run of some of the biggest hits of the 21st century, the chart-topping group are joining the making of a new world as they explore new frontiers and opportunities from the morning to Expo 2020. 

Each artist participating in the Infinite Nights series is portraying their own vision and experience of Expo 2020. Following the huge success of the Alicia Keys show, we have proudly surpassed the unprecedented 15 million video views, with global and regional audiences watching the full show online across multiple platforms. 

Black Eyed Peas - will.i.am, Apl.de.Ap and Taboo - are aligned with Expo's Mobility sub-theme, creating a show inspired by the rhythm and pulse of technology and music, exploring and embracing new musical frontiers. 

The Los Angeles-formed trio comprises a wide range of international backgrounds, and the group's inclusive and progressive values could not be more appropriate, especially in the context of a World Expo that brings together 200 different nationalities. 

The Black Eyed Peas said: "As a group, we continue to evolve our music to connect with the hearts and minds of our community around the world. We are excited about our upcoming special Expo 2020 Dubai Infinite Nights concert, which will showcase chart-topping music from our recent album "TRANSLATION" as well as our greatest hits. On January 25th, we will unite the world for a global celebration through our live performance."

Lubna Haroun, Vice President, Moment-Makers, Expo 2020 Dubai, said: "After the huge global success we enjoyed with Alicia Keys' performance at Infinite Nights in December, we are looking forward to hosting our second global stars here at Expo 2020 Dubai. The Black Eyed Peas have always inspired us with their progressive global outlook and innovative approach to exploring new musical possibilities, making them the perfect fit for Expo 2020 and its Mobility sub-theme." 

Engaging the world through innovative show formats employing the latest entertainment technology, the Infinite Nights series excites audiences both physically and digitally, uniting the world through the power of music with a host of celebrated artists performing live from Al-Wasl Plaza, with the concerts broadcast to a global audience. 

Black Eyed Peas will perform at Al-Wasl Plaza at 22:00 GST on Tuesday 25 January, and visitors wishing to attend the concert are encouraged to arrive early. 

The concert will be streamed globally at www.virtualexpodubai.com, and available to watch via multiple channels, including Expo on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and Oculus (VR). Several TV channels will also live stream the show.
