Arab pop queen Nancy Ajram and Arab superstar Ragheb Alama will connect fans around the world when they co-headline the second edition of Infinite Night Series on 12 November.
Ragheb Alama will bring the music of his 30-year career to life in a new and innovative performance that will highlight how music connects all human beings, from all corners of the world, and encourage people across the globe to connect and engage in collaborative experimentation, in line with the Expo's Mobility sub-theme.
Ragheb Alama said: "I want to mix cultures. I want their audience to listen to me, and I want my audience to listen to them. I've always loved opening doors, and the Expo's Infinity Nights series is the perfect platform to do that".
Singer, actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Nancy Ajram will perform her greatest hits in a never-before-seen performance under the majestic dome of Al WaslPlaza. Embodying the Expo 2020 sub-theme of sustainability, her show will deliver a message about the need to change human values and attitudes to shape a more resilient future.
Nancy Ajram said: "When we all work together and collaborate, we can build a better society. I can't wait to be part of the incredible journey of Expo 2020; I hope my show will inspire positivity among young people around the world, building bridges to connect with others regardless of culture, background or beliefs".
An illustrious line-up of artists from around the world and the region headlines the six-month-long Infinite Nights series, which kicks off with the 'Caesar of Arabia', Kadim Al Sahir, on 15 October. The shows, which will immerse fans around the world both physically and virtually, will be streamed live from the spectacular Al Wasl Plaza, the beating heart of Expo 2020 and home to the world's largest 360-degree projection surface.
The health, safety and well-being of all visitors is the Expo's first responsibility.
