The Emirates Airline Dubai Jazz Festival got into the business end of the proceedings, unleashing its biggest acts over the closing weekend.
It was a rocking battle of the generations on the main stage: the UK’s Deep Purple headlined on Thursday while the Irish pop-rockers The Script closed the event on Friday night.
The Script’s performance. Augmented by a bassist and keyboard players, the trio put on a super-slick show with a set list that allowed equal play from all three albums.
The group may be described as similar to U2 or Keane, but tracks such as We Cry and Science of Faith display a hip-hop heart with some inventive drum work.
While earlier anthemic singles such as The Man Who Couldn’t Be Moved and If You Could See Me Now may seem too calculated, the closer Hall of Fame hints that the group has more to offer than pop impersonations. The expansive track sounded brilliant live, its sweeping chorus bringing everyone to their feet.
