Music lovers are in for a treat this January as Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi gears up to host the first ever Saadiyat Nights music festival. The festival will feature performances from two of the music world’s brightest stars: the legendary Mariah Carey and the iconic Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Mariah Carey, a Grammy Award-winning artist, will inaugurate the festival on January 6. Known as the “songbird supreme,” Carey is expected to enchant the audience with her array of timeless hits like “Hero,” “One Sweet Day,” and “Always Be My Baby.” The open-air venue on Saadiyat Island, known for its picturesque views and cultural landmarks, will serve as the perfect backdrop for her performance.
Adding to the festival’s allure, Andrea Bocelli, celebrated for his classical tenor voice, will perform on January 27. This marks his first appearance in the capital since 2022. Fans can look forward to Bocelli’s renditions of classics such as “Time To Say Goodbye” and “Vivo Por Lei.”
Another highlight of the festival is a performance by GooGoosh, a popular Iranian artist, scheduled for January 20. Billed as her last tour, this event presents a unique opportunity for fans to experience her greatest hits live.
Saadiyat Nights promises to be a three-month-long extravaganza, bringing a variety of international and regional talents to the island. The festival is anticipated to be a significant cultural event, adding to the vibrant music scene in Abu Dhabi.
