City dwellers on the other side of the world, living and working in New York, can watch Expo 2020 Dubai’s spectacular opening ceremony as it unfolds.
The event will be shown live on the oversized screens of Times Square.

Audiences will be treated to a fantastic audio-visual display, as well as performances from world-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli; Grammy-nominated, Golden-Globe-winning actress, singer and songwriter Andra Day; platinum-selling British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding; international mega-star pianist Lang Lang; and four-time Grammy winner Angelique Kidjo.
