The music will be provided by Dubai-based acoustic guitarist, Abbo, who will perform sets at 20:15, 21:30 and at 22:45.
Jack’s Bar & Grill, which opened in 2013, is located in Dubai International Airport’s Concourse A (between Gates A-15 and Gate 16).

“Jack Daniel’s has been associated with music practically since its inception in Lynchburg, Tennessee,” noted Tony McIver, the Jack Daniel’s Area Director. “While it is most closely identified with Frank Sinatra and many of the music industry’s greatest bands and singers, Jack Daniel’s has been a long-time supporter of live music events, large and small.
“It is fitting that Dubai Airport’s first airside music event take place in the world’s first Jack Daniel’s Bar & Grill. The event will give hundreds of travellers passing through one of the world’s busiest airports a chance to relax and enjoy some terrific music and maybe enjoy a Jack Daniel’s or Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey cocktail while they do it.”
Abbo is originally from the UK and served as an engineer in the Royal Air Force before embarking on his musical career. While a resident of Dubai, he has performed in such diverse locations as New York City, Doha, Manila and elsewhere.
The musical event is free and open to all Dubai Airport travellers. As part of the promotion consumers are invited to purchase a bottle from the Jack Daniel’s Family (Gentleman Jack, Silver Select, Sinatra Select and Woodford Reserve) from Dubai Duty Free and get a personal message engraved on the bottle in Jack’s Bar & Grill.
