Groove Armada in Dubai

wo acts in two nights make for a bumper weekend at Chi in Dubai next month, tabloid! can reveal.

Electronic music duo Groove Armada is heading to Dubai one of their favourite places to play for a gig at Chi on May 20 followed by newbie rapper Tinie Tempah on May 21.

Andy Cato and Tom Findlay from the UK went from playing in backstreet clubs and pubs in London to collaborating with some of the best artists and DJs in the world. The latest was Bryan Ferry who took some convincing but eventually went for it and was hooked.

The dance outfit enlisted the Roxy Music frontman for the track Shameless, which features on their album Black Light.

Meanwhile, Tempah spent two weeks at No 1 last month with his abrasive single Pass Out, and now looks set to cross over from the electronic-music margins to the mainstream. The dysfunctional rhythms of his debut album, Hood Economics Room 147, have been traded for chart-friendly pop melodies.

Ticket information will be released next week.
