Experience Abu Dhabi has announced world-renowned pop sensation Gwen Stefani as the latest act to perform at the ongoing second edition of Saadiyat Nights. The former No Doubt singer will perform on 21 February, creating a bumper final weekend of international talent that also includes Lionel Richie.
The UAE capital’s three-month series of open-air music concerts is gearing up to welcome Stefani just 24 hours before Richie closes the event’s second edition. Marking her first time performing in Abu Dhabi, the American pop legend will treat fans to hits such as Rich Girl, What You Waiting For? and The Sweet Escape. Fans can purchase tickets now through Ticketmaster.ae.
The triple Grammy Award winner Stefani has achieved global success as a songwriter, performer, charismatic frontwoman of No Doubt, and as a multi-platinum solo artist. Throughout it all, she has remained a trend-setting music icon with an impressive array of honours – four MTV Video Music Awards, two Billboard Awards, an American Music Award, and a Brit Award.
One of pop culture’s most magnetic style icons, Stefani is one of the first artists to brilliantly merge music stardom into a series of global lifestyle brands across fashion and beauty.
Stefani has been added to an already star-studded line-up that included Michael Bublé, Robbie Williams and Ebi. A host of acts are still to perform, including Leningrad on 24 January (Platinumlist.net); Boyz II Men on 25 January (Ticketmaster.ae), Omar Khairat on 1 February (Platinumlist.net), Christina Aguilera on 15 February (Ticketmaster.ae) and Richie on 22 February (Ticketmaster.ae).
Last year’s first edition of Saadiyat Nights, which ran from January to March 2024, featured Mariah Carey, Googoosh, John Legend, Alicia Keys, and Andrea Bocelli, among others.
Saadiyat Nights is part of Abu Dhabi Calendar’s packed roster of year-round events catering to all tastes, spanning music, sports, comedy, family-friendly shows, cultural festivals, art exhibitions, and much more.
Hosted on Saadiyat Island, the concert series is held next to the growing Saadiyat Cultural District and the island’s pristine beaches and resorts. The open-air venue is a short drive from a range of thrilling attractions and theme parks on Yas Island and next to the city centre, which is filled with unique dining and shopping experiences.
