Saudi Arabia’s X Factor Middle East winner Hamza Hawsawi and Canadian duo Deen Squad will open for Justin Bieber at his Dubai concert on May 6 at the Autism Rocks Arena.

Hawsawi, who won the reality show in 2015, recently released his debut single, a smooth R’n’B track dubbed Love a Little. An all-English album is coming soon.

Deen Squad combine urban hip hop with spirituality, through songs such as Muslim Queen and Cover Girl. In 2015, the duo trended #MuslimsAreNotTerrorists worldwide with their song Muslim Man.

Bieber, who performed two Dubai concerts at the Sevens Stadium in 2013, will return with his Purpose World Tour. Organisers say the event will be his only regional performance.

With a Number 1 album in more than 100 countries, back-to-back worldwide smash hit singles, and a world tour that has sold out dates across the US, Canada and Europe, Bieber is one of the most successful pop stars in the world.
