Timberlake to perform in Middle East

Justin Timberlake will be jetting off to Abu Dhabi for his first Middle Eastern concert in December.

The 'SexyBack' singer's show at the Emirates Palace Hotel on December 6 will be his first in the United Arab Emirates and the final concert on his 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' tour.

Sheeraz Hasan, the founder of www.Dubai.TV, said: "The concert will take place in the grounds of the hotel in front of a predicted crowd of 10,000.

"He'll be accompanied by a gang of dancers and an 11-piece band."

Abu Dhabi is fast becoming the cultural jewel of the Middle East - the city has hosted performances by Placido Domingo and the musical 'Chicago', and provided the backdrop for hit new thriller 'The Kingdom', starring Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Garner.
