Beyonce Invites Journalists and Influencers to Dubai for Luxury Weekend

Beyonce Invites Journalists and Influencers to Dubai for Luxury Weekend

Per an invitation that many publications received from the musician’s team, the singer is hosting an all-expenses-paid luxury weekend in Dubai, taking place January 20 to 22. The invite is for the unofficial opening of Atlantis the Royal hotel, and begins as follows: “Beyoncé invites you to a weekend where your dreams become your destination. You and a guest are invited for epicurean feasts, beachside indulgences, and special reveal experiences including business class airfare, first-class ground transportation, and first-class accommodations at Atlantis the Royal.” A “once in a lifetime performance” is mentioned, too, but without any artist attached to it.

Many pop stars, including Blur, the Killers, and Jay-Z, have played in the United Arab Emirates since Beyoncé last performed in the capital, Abu Dhabi, in 2009.

The Dubai weekend has been sparsely reported, with UK tabloid The Sun reporting in December that Beyoncé was planning an hour long performance at the city’s luxury resort Atlantis the Royal. A source told The Sun that Swedish House Mafia would DJ at an afterparty, which is also confirmed by the invitation.

Earlier this week, TMZ shared purported footage of Beyoncé’s soundcheck for an event at Atlantis the Royal. The outlet speculated that Beyoncé was paid $24 million to perform in Dubai. Beyoncé’s formal involvement with the weekend and events is so far unspecified.

Per the email, activities for the weekend include dinners at Nobu Dubai, fireworks shows, and a party for the launch of Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila. The hotel opens to the public in February.
