The boyband will be making their first appearance in Dubai since 2009 to headline the Blended music festival, which has previously seen the likes of Diana Krall, Elvis Costello, Robin Thicke, Kasabian, Craig David and Kool and The Gang take to the stage.

Girish Bhat, managing director at Done Events, the festival’s organisers, said, “We cannot wait to bring one of the biggest boy bands of the ’90s back to Dubai this April.
