50 Cent to headline Atelier festival

THOUGH HIS STAR has waned in recent years, rap mogul 50 Cent can still pack arenas as his fans across the UAE eagerly await his return to Dubai set for October 19.

Part two of the Atelier music festival is back this October at the new venue of Meydan Racecourse. Earlier this year Atelier brought music lovers an unrivalled line up of global superstar artists with Ne-Yo, Leona Lewis, Jay Sean, Natasha Bedingfield, Skylar Grey, DJ Edward Maya and Taio Cruz all live on one stage. The event attracted more than 16,000 people and delivered an unforgettable experience. In addition to 50 Cent, the line up for October 19 is growing with more surprise announcements in the pipeline.

Born Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent was discovered by rapper Eminem and has gone on to sell millions of records and created an empire of his own including boxing promotion, sneakers, body sprays and a burgeoning career in acting. See www.theatelierworld.com for further details.
