The Smashing Pumpkins to Play First-Ever UAE Show at Etihad Arena
The legendary alt-rock band is bringing its 'Rock Invasion' tour to Abu Dhabi on October 9th with a career-spanning setlist. May 23, 2025 The Smashing Pumpkins are heading to Abu Dhabi for the very first time, bringing decades of alt-rock anthems to Etihad Arena on Thursday, October 9th, as part of their globe-spanning Rock Invasion tour. The Chicago-born icons, led by frontman Billy Corgan alongside original members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin, are set to ignite the capital with a career-spanning set that blends grunge-era nostalgia with their latest sonic experiments. Fans can expect to be swept up in the emotional swell of classics like 'Tonight, Tonight', scream along to the angst-fuelled chorus of 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings', and drift back to teenage memories with the shimmering dream-pop of '1979'. But this won't be just a greatest hits show—the band's newer material, including tracks like 'Empires' and 'Beguiled' from their recent albums, will keep things fresh and furious. With over 30 million albums sold, Grammy wins, and a legacy that helped shape the alt-rock movement of the '90s, The Smashing Pumpkins remain one of rock's most dynamic acts—balancing poetry, distortion, and the occasional existential scream. Tickets go live this Friday, May 23rd, at 10 AM via Live Nation Middle East's official website. Set your alarms—because in the words of Billy Corgan, the world is a vampire, and this show will sell fast.

Michael Bublé to Perform in Egypt's New Capital
This major event is part of a new push to position Egypt's New Administrative Capital as an entertainment hub. Apr 11, 2025 Grammy-winning superstar Michael Bublé is set to croon his way into the New Capital on May 26th, and we're already swooning. Brought to you under a landmark entertainment alliance between Administrative Capital for Urban Developments, TicketsMarche, and Live Nation Middle East, this major event is part of a bold new push to position the New Capital as a regional entertainment hub, where global icons take the stage and Egypt joins the international touring circuit in a big way. And who better to kick things off than the king of old-school crooner charm and pop-swagger? With megahits like Haven't Met You Yet, Home, and his knockout cover of Feeling Good, the Canadian smooth-talker has sold out stadiums, scooped up four Grammys, and claimed Christmas as his own personal season. He's serenaded royals, hosted SNL, and somehow made swing cool again for millennials and their mums alike. If you've ever fallen in love, fallen apart, or just fallen into a YouTube black hole of jazzy covers, chances are, Bublé was involved. Want in?
