Geldof up for the craic at Irish Village this Friday

Iconic Irish rocker to celebrate St. Paddy's Day with fans and Irish community Irish Village   

Bob Geldof will be appearing live in concert at the Irish Village on Friday 14th March 2014, joining his fans and Dubai's Irish community, to celebrate the St. Patrick's Day weekend celebrations.

The legendary Irish musician who will be performing a selection of his solo and Boomtown Rats classic hits, is appearing in Dubai courtesy of the Transguard Group, the organisers of the gig.

Geldof performed last year at the Irish Village to the delight of thousands of fans. Traditionally the concert is the major highlight of the venue's annual three-day festival celebrating St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.

“It's now imbedded into my head to spend Paddy's day in Dubai, being in a hot country and playing to a bunch of lunatics at the Irish Village. It's great fun,” said Geldof.

Mark Povey, communications director for Transguard also reiterated that Geldof has made it clear that he wants to ride on the Dubai Metro.

“This is his eighth visit to Dubai and he hasn't had the chance to ride the Metro yet. But he plans to put that right this time, he considers it a great achievement for this part of the world, given its petrodollar wealth,” said Povey.

Ticket details:

  • Early bird: AED 75/-
  • Standard: AED 100/-

Tickets are available at The Irish Village and on www.timeoutickets.com
