Dubai: He may be 42 and have enjoyed his biggest act more than 20 years ago but Vanilla Ice is still touring the world and now he's coming to Dubai.
Robert Van Winkle will play his debut gig in the UAE at Barasti on Wednesday, March 31, supported by another '90s disco favourite, SNAP.
But before the scoffing starts it's probably fair to consider the pair will more than likely draw a healthy crowd — albeit a slightly more mature one — of people who remember dancing to their hits at the school disco the first time around.
He's also enjoying a new lease on fame, with British twins Jedward, of X Factor fame, releasing a reworking of Ice Ice Baby on February 15 which is riding high at number two in the UK charts.
Expect a 45-minute extravaganza of all his best hits, plus a performance from SNAP.
Entrance is free all night.
