Robbie Williams is coming to Abu Dhabi again
Let him entertain you. British superstar Robbie Williams is performing at Saadiyat Island on Saturday, 28 December. The hitmaker is bringing his showmanship to Abu Dhabi once again, and will be wowing crowds this time as part of Saadiyat Nights.
Robbie hails from Stoke on Trent, England. After his mum saw an advert seeking members for a new boyband, he went on to audition for Take That. He started in the group in 1990, and launched his solo career in 1996.
Over his career, he has won a record 18 BRIT Awards and won Best British Male Artist four times. Plus, he holds a Guinness World Record for selling a whopping 1.6 million tickets in a day for his Close Encounters Tour.
Robbie is a big fan of the UAE and has performed in the country many times, and even shared how he would love to have a residency in Dubai. On New Year's Eve 2021, he performed his greatest hits at Atlantis, The Palm. In 2022, he even opened an art exhibition in Dubai, Black and White Paintings II. And in 2023, he performed at Etihad Arena.
If his previous concerts are anything to go by, we're expecting cheeky banter, high energy, and, of course, non-stop hits. His biggest songs include Feel, Millennium, Rock DJ and She's the One. Plus, Angels, which was written in 25 minutes, and went on to become his best-selling single.
Tickets for Robbie Wiliams in Abu Dhabi are on sale now and start AED 295. Other artists performing as part of Saadiyat Nights include Christiana Aguilera, Boyz II Men, Ebi and Omar Khairat. More performers are expected to be announced soon.
