The Grammy-winning R&B artist will take the stage in January 2023.
Ashanti is no stranger to the UAE – she performed live at the now-defunct Supperclub back in 2014 and headlined the Rich List's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix afterparty earlier this year. But the R&B star is nowhere close to being done with UAE audiences. In fact, she's set to return to Dubai next month, performing at Coca-Cola Arena on Saturday, 21 January.
Presented by Full Circle, Ashanti is expected to bring back several of her nostalgic hits. With her 2002 song "Foolish" and a little help from hit maker Irv Gotti, she became the second artist (after The Beatles) to simultaneously have the first three chart entries in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100. Gotti teamed her up with Fat Joe and his single "What's Luv?" and Ja Rule's "Always on Time" – and the rest, as they say, is history.
More recently, Ashanti has collaborated with the likes of Afro B, Ty Dolla Sign, and Diddy. Pop culture junkies might recognise her voice on the Stuck soundtrack and guest-starred as herself in two episodes of the Dynasty reboot. Priced AED 175, tickets to Ashanti and Friends will go on sale on Tuesday, 27 December through the Coca-Cola Arena and Platinumlist websites.
