The Power Slap competition is officially coming back to Abu Dhabi
Get ready for another thunderous showdown. Power Slap is making its explosive return to Abu Dhabi on Friday October 24, as part of Abu Dhabi Showdown Week – and it's bringing the heat to Space 42 Arena. Back by popular demand after last year's sold-out debut in the capital, Power Slap – the world's leading slap fighting league – is gearing up for round two.

The sport, brainchild of UFC boss Dana White, has exploded globally with nearly 30 million followers and a staggering 20 billion views online. Its Abu Dhabi debut pulled in over 700 million social media views and a tidal wave of influencer attention – and this year's return promises to go even bigger. Expect high-octane drama, heavyweight clashes and a crowd full of hype. The official card is still under wraps, but you can register your interest already at to be the first to know when tickets drop. Slap fighting might not be for the faint of heart, but if you're into next-level combat sports, wild energy and viral-worthy moments, Power Slap's return is one October night you won't want to miss. Power Slap founder Dana White said: 'Power Slap has had 13 straight sold-out events and is now heading back to Abu Dhabi, one of the premier fight capitals in the world.' 'In just two years, Power Slap has exploded with nearly 30 million followers and close to 20 billion video views across our platforms.

Dave Chappelle is coming back to Abu Dhabi for another comedy gig
If you thought last year's set from Dave Chappelle was something special, buckle up. The comedy kingpin is coming back to Etihad Arena on Thursday June 27, for a show that's about to go down in Abu Dhabi's stand-up history books. Last year, Chappelle kicked off the first-ever Abu Dhabi Comedy Week with a sold-out performance that drew over 14,000 fans – the largest comedy show the region's ever seen. Now, he's set to top it. The legendary stand-up returns for a one-night-only gig as part of the Abu Dhabi Comedy Season, and it's going to be huge. Think biting wit, fearless satire and stories that only Chappelle could tell. Whether you're a die-hard fan who's watched every Netflix special (shout-out to The Dreamer) or someone who's never seen him live, this is an epic chance to get those much-needed belly laughs in (ab workout anyone?). And with presale tickets going live on April 15 and general sale opening April 16, you'll need to move faster than one of his punchlines to snag a seat. This year's Abu Dhabi Comedy Season – running from April to July – is rolling out a heavyweight lineup of hilarity. We're talking Trevor Noah, Kevin Hart, Gad Elmaleh, Michael McIntyre, Gabriel 'Fluffy' Iglesias, Pete Davidson, Bill Burr and loads more still to be announced. If ever there was a time to embrace your inner comedy nerd, this is it. But don't sleep on it – this show will sell out. You've been warned. Price TBC. Thu Jun 27. Etihad Arena, Yas Island.
