Dubai's World Tennis League unveils mega concert lineup

Six of the world’s best DJs and performers will offer a grand slam experience at the World Tennis League in Dubai this December at the Coca-Cola Arena, in partnership with Dubai Sports Council.

The incredible roster includes Deadmau5, Wizkid, Mohamed Ramadan and Ne-Yo, who will join previously announced Tiësto and Armin van Buuren.

The music megastars will headline post-match concerts at the inaugural tennis tournament featuring the likes of Novak Djokovic and Iga Świątek.

Taking place from December 19 to 24, 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 November 6.

Here’s the concert schedule in full:

Opening the line-up for The World Tennis League is the Dutch DJ giant Tiësto, often nicknamed The Godfather of EDM.

Tuesday, December 20 - Wizkid 

Dubbed Nigeria’s Justin Bieber, Wizkid is leading the charge in the Afrobeats genre. 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, December 21 - Deadmau5  

The award-winning DJ and highly respected producer will headline the third evening of entertainment at the Coca-Cola Arena.

Friday, December 23 - 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. 

Saturday, December 24 - Armin van Buuren 

Now a dance music veteran of almost 30 years, the DJ icon has the honour of closing the inaugural World Tennis League in Dubai a day before his birthday.
