MN2S teams up Boney M’s Liz Mitchell with Il Divo for one of the Joy Awards 2026’s most unforgettable live performances.
MN2S was proud to book Liz Mitchell for a special appearance at the Joy Awards 2026, bringing one of disco’s most recognisable voices to one of the Middle East’s biggest entertainment stages. Held in Riyadh as part of Riyadh Season, the ceremony brought together a wide-ranging lineup of international and regional artists, with live performances forming a central part of the night’s appeal. For Liz Mitchell, whose voice helped define Boney M’s global success, the event marked another high-profile moment in a career that continues to connect with audiences across generations.
Speaking around the performance, Mitchell revealed just how closely guarded some of the night’s plans had been. “It was a secret, no-one was supposed to say anything about it!” she said, referencing the surprise elements built into the live show. That sense of anticipation carried through to the performance itself, which paired Mitchell with Il Divo for a collaborative moment that blended disco vibes with classical crossover. The unexpected combination proved to be a highlight of the evening, drawing warm reactions from the live audience and viewers watching across broadcast and streaming platforms.
Despite a career spanning decades, Mitchell remains firmly focused on the present and future of music. “My creativity is always inspired by young people, I think they’re the future,” she explains. “They bring that element of freshness, joy and originality. I’m getting on in age but I still feel like they are the inspiration and they are the future!” That perspective has helped sustain her global touring career, keeping her performances relevant to new audiences while continuing to resonate with fans who grew up with Boney M’s catalogue. At the Joy Awards, that cross-generational appeal was clear, with Mitchell’s performance sitting alongside contemporary stars and established international acts.
Reflecting on the wider atmosphere in Riyadh, Mitchell spoke about the unparalleled energy of the event. “The excitement here in Riyadh is real, there are so many wonderful artists here. It’s great to be among such wonderful artists,” she said. “I will continue to do what I do best and travel around the world and sing my songs as long as I have health, I am able and people are willing to invite me.” That commitment to live performance remains rooted in what she hopes audiences take away from her shows. “With every performance I do hope that we are bringing to the audience just music and the memory that the times that the music meant so much to them. Not only that, but to be able to dance and to feel good, to want to forget all of their troubles for a moment, it’s very important. When I perform that’s what I want to bring to the audience, I want them to be engaged and fulfilled.”
