Singers Kelis, Lloyd head to Abu Dhabi

Following David Guetta's sell-out gig at Yas Arena, it's the turn of R&B up-and-comer Lloyd to hit the capital this Thursday at Etoiles. The New Orleans-based singer reached the top of the charts last summer with Lay It Down and most recently with Dedication to My Ex (Miss That). Expect him from 11.30pm. Call 02-6908960; door policy applies. The following week the music will be beach side, with Kelis (right) flying in to perform at the two-day opening festival of the Blue Marlin Ibiza Beach Club in Ghantoot. The Milkshake singer headlines on March 17, while a day earlier Ibiza regulars Danny Avila and Axwell perform. Entry is by reservation only; call 056-1133400 or email reservation@bluemarlinibiza-uae.com. And don't forget — tickets for Madonna's second Abu Dhabi date go on sale today at noon, at thinkflash.ae and Virgin Megastores at Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall and Abu Dhabi Mall.
