Less than two months out from the start of the new SVNS Series season, British rapper and singer-songwriter Stormzy has been announced as the headline act to close out the Emirates Dubai 7s Festival this December.

On Wednesday, it was revealed the global award-winning artist will bring the three-day festival to an end with what is set to be an unforgettable performance. Stormzy is expected to perform hit songs including ‘Big for your Boots’, ‘Shut Up’ and ‘Vossi Bop’.

Stormy has released three albums and they’ve all reached top spot on the UK charts, with two receiving nominations for the UK’s prestigious Mercury Music Prize. In 2023, Stormzy was nominated for the BET Award for Best International Act.

Fans will also have an opportunity to see Stormzy’s athletic side on November 30 as the multi-award-winning musician takes to the padel court. Stormzy will compete against some of his friends in a mini tournament on the opening day of the SVNS Series event.

“Stormzy is one of the biggest names in music and we couldn’t think of anyone better to close our biggest festival to date,” Emirates Dubai 7s Festival Director, Mathew Tait, said.

“The Dubai 7s is always a fun-packed weekend with something for everyone and there is no doubt that Stormzy’s impact will be huge for each one of our festival goers.

“Not only are we all excited to see Stormzy on the stage and on the padel court, but I also urge fans to stay tuned for more exciting announcements from us in the lead-up to the long weekend.”

The Saturday headliner for the Emirates Dubai 7s Festival will be announced soon.

Last year at the Dubai Sevens, Australia brought an end to New Zealand’s long-lasting unbeaten streak to claim Cup Final glory in the women’s draw. Jorja Miller scored a hat-trick for the Black Ferns Sevens but they still fell to a 26-19 loss at The Sevens Stadium.

Bienne Terita opened the scoring in the first Cup Final of the 2023/24 season in just the first minute, and that effort was later followed by a Teagan Levi double. Maddison Levi secured the win by running away for a score in the 16th minute.

After that game, South Africa went head-to-head with Argentina in a blockbuster decider. Argentina has recently emerged as one of the heavyweights in the sport, while South Africa had a point to prove after a poor campaign the season before.

Impi Visser and Shilton Van Wyk scored a try as the Blitzboks took a 12-nil lead. While Los Pumas Sevens hit back through Matias Osadczuk with two minutes left to play, time just wasn’t on their side as the South Africans held on for a 12-7 win.

‘We don’t fear them’: Blitzboks ready for must-win clash with SVNS leaders

 I started getting into Bitcoin in late 2020 when the price was nearly at 30,000 USD, back at the time I was just following the footsteps of my friend, she saw it as a good long-term plan and I was on board with it so we started buying bit by bit at the end of every Month. Now fast forward to January 2023 when she came up with the great idea to go into crypto trading, this was supposed to be our game changer, we already accumulated a nice amount of Bitcoin since we started holding so once we invested with that we would make more than enough profits to last us and we won’t have to work anymore, amazing plan until it all went wrong, we invested with the wrong broker company that made away with all of our investments.. the agent blocked us Instagram and disappeared leaving us in the dark but all thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, getting in contact with Infinite Digital Recovery made it possible that we recovered back our money today, it took him less than 48hours to trace the transactions and accessed the company website database to recover our already hanging funds in our account, it was then we found out they continued trading with our Money and kept generating more profits, very fraudulent act and we made sure to take every penny of ours thanks to Infinite Digital Recovery, You can also reach out to Infinite Digital Recovery for help for anyone in a similar situation, the contact details are below :
