Tell you what, there's such a great amount of local talent in the UAE, it's amazing.

Just a few acts to watch out for that deserve a really go shot at it are IMHO:

Juliana Down - Rock/Indie band - from Dubai/Abu Dhabi
Killosal - R&B - 2 students from Abu Dhabi
Madman and Phat Mo - R&B/Hip-Hop - From Dubai
Desert Heat - R&B - Dubai
DJ KV - Trance - Dubai - currently mixing it up in Ibiza - yeah baby!
Jaxxma - R&B - Ronnie Jaxx and Av Deep from Madnights

Could do with some more dance type acts though, but looking good so far.

Juliana Down the vocals are a bit too polished,

DJ KV plays excellent music...

KV has an album out with the name "Unite" you can get it at virgin. I do agree with chocs we need to support the local talent.

chocs would be nice if you told us where we can see the acts since some of those i have not heard of but would like to check out.

Chocs, perhaps instead of Kareoke there could be a "local music" night out for DF (non yahoos of course!)

Just moved here so I guess that makes me a local musician now...

Kuwait band Army of One will be peforming at the Fusion 06 event, OK they're not local, local but GCC and great fun.

When I know who, what, when and where, I'll be sure to post it up.

i heard from people who went to the massari concert that they put a better show than massari himself ..
