Rock ballad icon Bryan Adams will perform live in Abu Dhabi this Wednesday, February 11, as part of the capital’s flagship Saadiyat Nights open-air concert series.

One of Canada’s biggest rock stars and a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, Adams’ upcoming show marks his first standalone UAE concert since his appearance at the World Tennis League in December 2024, where he headlined the opening night at Etihad Arena. This time, audiences will experience his music in a very different setting, an outdoor venue on Saadiyat Island.

Known for soul-storring hits such as Summer of ’69, Here I Am, and (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, Adams’ return is expected to be a standout moment on Abu Dhabi’s cultural calendar, drawing both long-time fans and tourists seeking a memorable live-music experience in the UAE.

The concert date is especially meaningful, as February 11 also marks the anniversary of Adams’ self-titled debut album, released in 1980, a milestone that launched a career now spanning more than four decades.

Adams’ Abu Dhabi performance forms part of a star-studded Saadiyat Nights season, which also features international acts including John Mayer, reinforcing the emirate’s growing reputation as a global live-music destination.
