Jennifer Lopez is heading to Dubai.

The 48 year-old super-star pop singer and actress will be performing her greatest hits ("If You Had My Love," "On the Floor") at the Dubai Airshow's exclusive gala dinner—meaning that you don't get to attend without an invitation. (If you're a disappointed J-Lo fan, keep reading.)

In a statement, Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths said, “By inviting such an internationally recognised star, we are affirming the significance of the Dubai Airshow on the world aviation stage and it allows Dubai Airports, Emirates and Dubai Duty Free to thank its valued VIP guests and partners for their support.”

He added, "It is not often that, as an airport, we can say we share similar attributes with an artist of Jennifer’s calibre, but there is a definite shared spirit." (Which, considering the corporate nature of airports, we can only read as a back-handed compliment.)

The show will precede Lopez's show at Dubai Autism Rocks (tickets here) by two days.

The last gala dinner took place in 2015; Katy Perry performed at Atlantis the Palm.
