The event takes place on the evening of December 31, 2026, with Perry performing outdoors under the stars backed by a 30-piece live band. September 24, the evening kicks off at 6pm and builds toward a midnight fireworks display over Dubai's skyline. Guests will be treated to a premium dining spread featuring lobster, caviar and sushi, while a dedicated children's entertainment zone called the Asateer Tent will keep younger guests occupied.
Ticket prices vary by seating category, starting at around Dh8,500 for adults in Premium seating and rising to Dh14,500 for the Golden Circle. Guests seeking a more exclusive experience can book Sky Suites accommodating up to ten people, priced as high as Dh400,000. Children under three can attend free of charge.
Tickets for the gala are being sold through Platinumlist. The booking of a major international pop star for the night reflects Dubai's continuing push to position itself as one of the world's top destinations for New Year's Eve celebrations.
