“The atmosphere at Beats on the Beach is fantastic - a great opportunity for the entire community of Abu Dhabi to join together in a free celebration of music as the whole city gears up for F1TM. With a different and varied lineup of incredible local and international talent every evening from now until Saturday night - we certainly hope everyone is able to come out and take part in the fun.”
Tunisian singer, Ahmad Al Sherif, who closed the bill last night, added;
"Being here on the opening night of Beats on the Beach was fantastic. As it’s a free concert you get a huge variety of people in the crowd and some real fans all coming together enjoying the music - I’ve loved playing in Abu Dhabi tonight as part of Yasalam 2010."
