Sting to perform at Dubai Racing Carnival Meydan announced Thursday that internationally renowned recording artist Sting will perform live at the Dubai International Racing Carnival's Super Thursday on March 4. A composer, singer, actor and activist, Sting has evolved into one of the world's most distinctive and highly respected performers, collecting as a solo performer 11 Grammys, 2 Brits, a Golden Globe, an Emmy, three Oscar nominations, Billboard Magazine's Century Award, and MusiCares 2004 Person of the Year. "Sting is not only one of the best in his field, a perennial performer who has seen not only international success but also longevity in his career span," said Mohammad A. Nasser Al Khayat, commercial director of Meydan. "He appeals to both young and old and is a true citizen of the world who cares about the people and the environment around him. Sting represents many of the values Meydan upholds for itself, as we hope to set the same benchmarks when it comes to international racing, the same way Sting has achieved worldwide acclaim over the course of his career." "Sting is an excellent addition to our Super Thursday program as his music transcends all," added Frank Gabriel Jr., CEO of the Dubai Racing Club. "It is important to us that performances at the Dubai International Racing Carnival are appreciated by general audiences, as our race meetings see participants from various geographies, and Sting's music is a universal example of how it can bring people together regardless of nationality or language. The concert is the perfect complement to end an exciting evening at the races." Sting is booked by Live Nation, the largest producer of all live concerts in the world. Producing more than 22,000 concerts annually for 1,600 artists in 33 countries, they will be working together with award-winning event company M-is from the United Kingdom to deliver a stunning and unforgettable night with Sting on Super Thursday at Meydan. The concert is in conjunction with Dubai International Racing Carnival's Super Thursday race meeting and is expected to commence after the last race.
