Singer-songwriter John Vesely will bring his emo-pop project Secondhand Serenade back to Dubai on Saturday, 5 December 2026, with a full-band concert at Jubilee Park, Expo City Dubai. Billed as part of The Long Night Tour — Live with Full Band, the show was confirmed by Live Nation Middle East, which cited strong regional demand following the act’s last Dubai appearance, a date that sold out at speed.
The performance arrives as Vesely marks 20 years since Awake, the debut record that launched his career after he built a following as the top unsigned artist on MySpace and turned a self-released acoustic project into an international one. That run produced Fall For You, a triple-platinum single that climbed into the Top 5 on U.S. radio.
Tickets go on general sale Wednesday, 1 July at 12 pm GST through livenation.me and ticketmaster.ae.

A limited number of VIP Meet & Greet Experiences will be sold as add-ons to concert tickets. Taking place an hour before general doors open, the package includes early venue entry, first access to the merchandise table, a Q&A session with Vesely, a personal photo with the artist, signing of one personal item plus the official tour poster, a VIP-exclusive collectible poster, and a listening session featuring an unreleased Secondhand Serenade track.
Organisers are urging buyers to act quickly once sales open, pointing to the rapid sell-out of the band’s earlier Dubai concert as a sign that demand will run high again.
