Gaga�s concert is their first effort in the UAE. They plan to produce more live shows (they told us they have five big names already planned), sports programming and children�s programming. They have been the dominant Latin American events organiser for over 10 years, with more than 4,000 shows held and millions of tickets sold.</p>

By joining forces, and through a somewhat ideal geographical proximity, they hope to bring more artists to Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.</p>
