On June 8, Emirati singer Shamma Hamdan, a rising star in the world of Haliji music and the first Emirati woman to make it to the finals of Arabs Got Talent, will take to the stage to thrill music fans. British soul and pop band Simply Red will make their long-awaited return to Dubai after a 20-year hiatus when they perform at the tournament on June 9.
