Eric Clapton so close, and I didn't know!!!

While flipping through the new Time Out that I bought today, I saw that Clapton will be performing in Abu Dhabi on the 11th, as part of his current tour!!!
Since then, I've been in a foul mood, and an irritable menace to everyone I've encountered!
Have been a life-long Clapton fan... :(

Is there a website that posts concerts in the region? I've searched, but haven't come up with anything. Something along the lines of TicketOne in Europe, that tell you well inadvance, so one can make flight/Visa arrangements where applicable.

I wouldn't want to miss another opportunity to go to a good concert!

Seems Dubai gets its share of decent concerts. Doha not yet on the map, I gather? (Bryan Adams doesn't do it for me)

That could be a useful site, too.

Yes, Friday :(

I agree - 'Riding with the King' is one of my all-time faves!

There's Stevie Wonder at the same place in March, if you're interested (me, not enough to buy a flight and get a Visa)
