Dubai's Concert Week is back: Dhs99 tickets to big-name shows from Blue to Trevor Noah

Live Nation Middle East has kicked off its annual Concert Week sale, and the headline number is hard to ignore: Dhs99. From September 28 to October 4, tickets to a long list of concerts and comedy shows across Dubai and Abu Dhabi drop to under a hundred dirhams — a fraction of what many of these events would normally cost.

The deal covers an eclectic mix of acts. In Dubai, you can catch 2000s boy band Blue at Expo City Dubai on October 25, indie act Secondhand Serenade at the same venue on November 5, and When Chai Meets Toast at Covent Garden Theatre on November 14. Dubai Opera hosts two heavyweight nights: Lebanese soprano Hiba Tawaji performing with trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf in 'A la Française' on November 27, followed by comedian Trevor Noah on November 29. Pianist Tony Ann rounds out the Dubai list on January 10, 2027.

Abu Dhabi's offering leans heavily on the Etihad Arena comedy calendar, part of the Abu Dhabi Comedy Season. Morgan Jay plays October 11, Russell Peters October 25, Mo Amer November 6 and Maz Jobrani November 7, with Whitney Cummings and Paul Smith both appearing on January 31, 2027. For something more electronic, Anyma brings its 'ÆDEN' show to Yas Gateway Park North on December 4.

To grab the discount, look for tickets tagged under the 'Concert Week Promotion' listing — add one to your cart and the reduced price applies at checkout. The catch is simple: stock is limited and tickets are first-come, first-served. Once a show sells out at the promo price, that's it. If you've been eyeing a particular gig, the first day or two of the sale window is when you want to act.

For travellers, this is a genuinely good excuse to time a UAE trip around a show. A Dhs99 ticket leaves plenty of budget for dinner and a hotel, and the sale spans a six-week stretch of events, so you can plan a short city break around whatever fits your dates. Since the deal covers both emirates, it's worth browsing the Abu Dhabi lineup too — Etihad Arena and Yas Island are easy to fold into a Dubai itinerary, roughly an hour's drive away.
