DUBAI: US rock band OneRepublic are the latest act to be announced as performers at the upcoming Formula E Diriyah E-Prix — they will take to the stage on Jan. 26, the first night of the two-day event in Riyadh. Swedish DJ and music producer Alesso and Lebanese pop sensation Nancy Ajram, will also perform that day.
The six-piece first rose to fame in the mid-2000s, thanks to the hit single “Apologize,” which sold more than 20 million copies, earning a Grammy nomination and helping the band’s debut album “Dreaming Out Loud” sell more than 2 million. More recently, their track “I Ain’t Worried” was featured on the “Top Gun: Maverick” soundtrack.
They have released five studio albums so far, with another on the way, and have reached more than 5 billion streams on Spotify.
This will not be OneRepublic’s first time in the Kingdom. In 2022, they performed at AlUla’s Maraya, the world’s largest mirrored building.
