The Black Eyed Peas are slated to perform tomorrow, Saturday, their first-ever concert at the Great Pyramids of Giza.
The concert is set to begin at 7:00 PM (Cairo local time) and streamed on LIVENow.
The musical group was founded in 1995 and consists of rappers will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap. Filipino singer-songwriter J. Rey Soul joined the band in 2018.
In a new interview, the Black Eyed Peas shared their excitement about the upcoming concert and noted that it has been a great two weeks of performing in front of live audiences again and described the experience as “pretty surreal and fantastic”.
“To end off our run here in Cairo, It is going to be an amazing experience,” Taboo said.
Will.i.am, one of the world’s biggest music moguls, said the trip was inspired by his favorite disco act, noting he grew up listening to Earth, Wind & Fire, and just staring at the album covers because it was full of Egyptology.
He shared that his personal love for Earth, Wind & Fire made him always dream about coming to Egypt and play near the pyramids.
Black Eyed Peas also explained that their shows after a little different now with backstage “mask police” and constant PCR testing, noting their venues are safe places to be.
