One of the biggest stars of the modern music scene is set to perform in Dubai for the first time later this year. Teddy Swims, a GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum global sensation, will take to the stage at the Coca-Cola Arena in November.

He said: 'Teddy Swims is one of the most exciting voices in music today, and we're thrilled to be bringing him to Dubai for the very first time.

Cadillac unveils its first, all-electric EV, OPTIQ, and it's a smooth operator
We're finally getting Cadillac's first all-electric SUV and it looks incredible. The sleek, tech-savvy 2025 Cadillac OPTIQ joins the heritage luxury brand's growing electric family including models like LYRIQ, VISTIQ and the ESCALADE IQ. With pricing starting at Dhs235,000, the OPTIQ balances bold looks with everyday practicality. Its sculpted fastback profile and signature Black Crystal Shield grille nod to Cadillac's design roots, while new touches like the Mondrian-inspired rear window pattern give it a refreshing edge. Inside the car The car boasts sleek technology inside, with interiors made from eco-conscious materials. The 33-inch diagonal LED display with 9K resolution sweeps across the dash, while recycled Cadillac Collection fabric softens the space. There's plenty of legroom, a spacious boot and a layout that makes even daily commutes feel a bit more luxurious. The tech-powered driving experience really makes your life easier. Google Built-In means seamless access to Maps, Assistant and live range updates, while a 19-speaker AKG sound system with Dolby Atmos takes you elsewhere. Safety's a big focus too, with features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Forward Collision Alert and Enhanced Automatic Parking all coming with the standard option. Specs that wow Power-wise, the dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup puts out 300 hp and 451 Nm of torque. It's quick off the line, but also comfortable and balanced, thanks to a lower centre of gravity from the GM EV platform. Drivers can expect up to 492km of range on a full charge, so you really don't have to worry about the range. If you're in a hurry, a DC fast charger can top it up with 163km of range in just 15 minutes. Home charging is equally seamless, with a 7kW wall box included as standard. What else? The OPTIQ also includes three years of OnStar's Connect and Protect plan, plus 10GB of monthly in-car Wi-Fi. So, when are you ordering yours? To learn more, visit your local Cadillac showroom or

She said: 'New Covent Garden has been a passionate dream for Johnny and I for years. 'Being professional performers ourselves and having made Dubai our home over 10 years ago, we wanted to create a unique space and a home for performers, dancers, musicians, artists and the theatre and performing arts community — a creative hub where people from all walks of life can come together and share their passion and their love of the arts. 'New Covent Garden is an exciting and unique venue with a beautifully equipped 575-seater Theatre in the heart of Mall of the Emirates, along with 10 accompanying Dance and Rehearsal studios, a performer's dream to be able to rehearse, train and perform in one location, with a fully working Theatre and 10 backstage dressing rooms.'
