Dubai: Fans can expect three-days of non-stop action and entertainment from the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens at the Sevens Stadium from November 30 to December 2.
A Robbie Williams tribute act will be one of the main attractions on pitch one, while Rugby Rock will keep fans engaged well into the night, with The Boxtones and The Distillers on stage.
Tournament dancers will lead fans with moves, the What’s On Ball will surf the crowd and the Emirates Cannon will shoot prizes into the stands.
Fans can also enjoy prizes from the Dnata VIP Couch, while listening to the Airbus 92 Songs of the Sevens, and should keep an eye out for HSBC bongo drums and national day celebrations on Friday afternoon.
With five different food and beverage zones there will be something for everyone when it comes to eats and treats. People can choose between family zones, party zones, relax zones or street food or food of the nations zones to keep themselves fuelled.
This year also sees the return of FastPay, sponsored by HSBC, an easy way to pay onsite.
Kids under 12 can experience the stadium and the Rugby Village free with plenty to keep them entertained. The popular Sabaa 7s Club will be even bigger and better with brand new interactive games, challenges, remote control car competitions, a huge bouncy slide, face painting and much more with added attractions by Hallmark and The Toy Store.
For the older kids, the Virgin Radio Dubai Teen Zone returns where teenagers can listen to their favourite music and get involved in popular gaming stations while they hang out with friends, and parents can enroll the littlest fans in the dedicated tournament creche, The Cardinal Valley Nursery — so that they can go and enjoy the party atmosphere of the event.
