32 February 2014 www.bahrainthismonth.com happeningsthismonth Everyone take note! These acts will not be performing on Sunday after the race, as with previous years. For 2014, the format is different. On Friday April 4 Rabeh Saqer will be performing; the other two, Avicii and the Scorpions, will both be performing on Saturday April 5. Spread the word so no one misses out! DJ Avicii Two-time Grammy-nominated Swedish DJ Avicii is renowned for his spectacular live shows, bringing audiences to ecstatic moments of party bliss and “driving the crowd bonkers”, according to Rolling Stone magazine, who have also hailed Avicii as “one of the Princes of the contemporary renaissance of Electronic Dance Music”. Born Tim Bergling, he is one of the hottest names in music today. After just three years of performing, Avicii rocketed to the number three position on DJ Mag’s yearly poll of the Top 100 DJs and has appeared on Forbes’ Most Powerful Artists Under 30 in 2013 and 2014. His first album, last year’s rue, was named Album of the Year by Elektro and The New York Times called him “savvy and timely” and “an artist carrying today — and tomorrow — on his shoulders”. Wake Me Up, the first single from the album, was number one in 81 countries, is triple platinum in the US, and the video for the track has been watched over 235 million times on YouTube alone. Hey Brother, his current single, is exploding on the radio and he has just launched Addicted to You internationally. The 24-year-old leads the next generation of electronic music producers to explode, propelling him into the ranks of superstar DJs who are able to perform to massive crowds. The Scorpions One of the greatest rock bands of all time, the band has sold millions of records worldwide throughout their nearly 50-year history in the music industry. The Scorpions are currently made up of Klaus Meine (lead vocals), Rudolf Schenker (guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), James Kottak (drums) and Pawel Maciwoda (bass). Some of their greatest hits include Rock You Like a Hurricane, Wind of Change, Still Loving You, Send Me An Angel and No One Like You. They formed in 1965 and have since sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Rabeh Saqer Rabeh will be the first of the three major concerts that will highlight the off-track entertainment and is scheduled to take to the stage for an 8pm start. He is one of the biggest names in the Arabic music industry and has a massive fan base across the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, where he is one of the country’s most beloved artists. Rabeh has been a major player in the music industry for over 30 years, and fans from all across the region, especially in the Gulf, flock to his concerts whenever they take place. There will, of course, be many side acts taking place on stages around the vending area and roaming the crowds, including singers, dancers, and children’s entertainers, so that the excitement is constant throughout the weekend.
