Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5, Mohamed Ramadan, Ne-Yo, Tiësto and Wizkid will headline the post-match concerts.
Six of the world’s best DJs and performers will offer a grand slam experience at the World Tennis League in Dubai this December.
Following the spectacular tennis on the court from the likes of Novak Djokovic and Iga Świątek, Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena will host a series of music concerts featuring Armin van Buuren, Deadmau5, Mohamed Ramadan, Ne-Yo, Tiësto and Wizkid.
Monday 19 December – Tiësto
Opening the line-up for The World Tennis League is the Dutch DJ giant Tiësto, often nicknamed The Godfather of EDM. His gig at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games remains a landmark of dance music and his hits such as The Business and The Motto received millions of global streams.
Tuesday 20 December – Wizkid
Wizkid is leading the charge in the Afrobeats genre. The Nigerian announced his talent to the world with his 2011 debut album Superstar, following it up with 2014’s impressive Ayo, which featured the standout track Ojuelegba. But the turning point in Wizkid’s career came in 2016 when he collaborated with Drake on One Dance, which helped him to become one of Africa’s most influential musicians today.
Wednesday 21 December – Deadmau5
The award-winning DJ and producer will headline the third evening of entertainment at the Coca-Cola Arena. For more than two decades Deadmau5 has thrilled crowds across the globe with award-winning hits such as the two-time platinum-certified single, Ghosts’ n’ Stuff, as well as critically acclaimed tracks including Professional Griefers and Sofi Needs A Ladder.
Thursday 22 December – Ne-Yo
Riding high after the release of his ninth album, Self Explanatory, earlier this year, Ne-Yo will bring hits such as Because of You, So Sick, Miss Independent, Closer, Let Me Love You, Time of Our Lives and One in A Million to the Coca-Cola Arena this December. The three-time Grammy winner and prolific songwriter has also penned songs for other artists including Irreplaceable by Beyoncé and Unfaithful, Russian Roulette and Take a Bow for Rihanna.
Friday 23 December – Mohamed Ramadan
The Egyptian TV and movie star, singer and rapper has a huge following around the Arab world, many of whom will roar their approval when he takes the stage after the players at The World Tennis League leave the court. Hits like Tik Tok, Number One and Ya Habibi will form part of an electric show from the irrepressible Ramadan, who in 2020 became only the second Arabic artist to have his image adorn the Spotify billboard in Times Square, New York.
Saturday 24 December – Armin van Buuren
A dance music veteran of almost 30 years, DJ Armin van Buuren, has the honour of closing the inaugural World Tennis League in Dubai a day before his birthday. A beloved figure on the international DJ circuit thanks to tracks like One More Time, Blah Blah Blah, and This Is What It Feels Like, Armin van Buuren has played to millions of people at some of the world’s biggest festivals, stadiums and nightclubs.
Taking place from 19 to 24 December, the World Tennis League is an innovative round-robin tournament that sees teams of star players face off in nail-biting two-set matches. Joining Djokovic and women’s world No. 1 Świątek are reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina and Aussie maverick Nick Kyrgios. The full player roster and team line-ups will be announced on Sunday 6 November.
