"Geldof at the Irish Village is now a fixture in Dubai's social calendar and his lively mix of music and entertainment has pulled a sellout crowd each year," commented event organiser and promoter Transguard GroupTransguard Group
's Mark Povey. "Bob Geldof enjoys playing here as much as the audience enjoys hearing him and we are delighted that he is back here again in 2009."
As well as the Geldof concert, the week of entertainment at the Irish Village includes performances from Inis Oirr, Maple Jacks and The Vision, together with traditional Irish dancers and daytime entertainment for children.
