AceShowbiz - Black Eyed Peas took part in this year's World Cup in Qatar by performing at one of the tournament's macro-events. They agreed to entertain the crowd at Doha Golf Club on November 20.
According to reports, the group agreed to perform at the show organized by Qatar Airways and Qatar Tourism, in collaboration with Alchemy Project, for €450,000 (around $474,000). This wasn't the first time the group has performed at a World Cup as they were the stars of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where they kicked off the event with Shakira. They sang at the opening celebration concert held at the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg in front of 30,000 people.
