How we reported this
Dubai currently lists 24 live music events and concerts for 2026 and 2027. Confirmed dates include When Chai Met Toast on November 14 2026 and Anuv Jain among the scheduled acts.
Upcoming International Performances
Major headliners include Shakira and Jonas Brothers at the OFFLIMITS Music Festival on November 21 2026. Tony Ann is scheduled at Dubai Opera on January 10 2027. Tarkan is set for a nearby appearance in Abu Dhabi on November 27 2026. These dates come directly from current event listings on Songkick and Live Nation.
Regular Weekly Options
McGettigan’s branches, Babylon x La Scene and Time Out Market provide consistent live music. Time Out Market hosts jazz and DJ sets specifically on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. These weekly programmes appear in local booking platforms and offer repeated access without requiring festival tickets.
Key Concert Venues
Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai Opera and Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience host larger shows. Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience features EDM and electronic artists including Anyma and David Guetta. These locations are named repeatedly across current listings on Time Out Dubai and related event aggregators.
The 24 events span multiple months and include both international tours and regional acts. Listings on Songkick, Live Nation, Shazam and Bookem Dubai confirm the spread of dates from late 2026 into early 2027. Regular weekly sets at the named venues run independently of the larger festival calendar.
Residents and visitors can check Songkick, Live Nation and Time Out Dubai for updates on tickets and set times. Eventbrite, Fever and Bandsintown pages also carry Dubai listings for additional options. Checking these platforms provides the most current details on availability and line-up changes.
