Britney a hit with Abu Dhabi fans
'Live on Yas Island' will continue to thrill fans with Paul McCartney performing on Sunday night
Britney Spears put on one of the most visually creative shows since Beyonce's appearance on Yas Island two years ago. Not only dazzling the crowd with her high-octane choreographed 90-minute show, she also allowed some fans to share the stage experience after inviting some lucky ones up to perform with her in front of a packed arena.
Hits such as Big Fat Bass, How I Roll and Gimme More kept the crowd swinging under the cool breeze during a night that brought plenty of surprises for her fans that had travelled from across the globe to see her. Spears appeared on stage at 9pm, putting on a memorable show that opened up with Hold it Against Me before she rolled out other favourites such as Lace and Leather and If U Seek Amy.
Fans, many who had arrived early to form a line that snaked its way around Yas Arena, were warmed up by Australian duo NERVO who entertained the 30,000-strong crowd of music lovers, who waited patiently to get a glimpse of the Spears.
Sharjah resident Mohammed Qassim, who comes from Iraq, said: "I drove all the way from Sharjah to attend Britney's concert. We grew up listening to Britney's music and I never imagined that I would see her live on stage. The evening was really amazing... it was like a dream come true."
The concert series continues tonight with British rock band The Cult and American rockers Incubus, with Paul McCartney playing the Sunday concert.
