Start the year off in true rock ‘n’ roll style as The Music Room hosts two rock tribute acts on consecutive weekends. The intimate Bur Dubai venue known for its great acoustics and top artist draws will first see the UK band Money for Nothing, a Dire Straits tribute act, perform on January 23. With vocals reminiscent of Mark Knopfler and the unmistakable sound of Dire Straits, hear the band’s hits including Brothers in Arms, Sultans of Swing, Romeo and Juliet and of course, Money for Nothing.

Then the following Friday, January 29, The Four Fighters present their version of Foo Fighters' hits such as This Is a Call, Learn to Fly, Something From Nothing and Stacked Actors. Their live shows are said to be explosive events and that the band goes to great lengths to reproduce the raw power and dynamics of the American band.
