If your entertainment calendar was stacked with live music plans this season, you might want to double-check those tickets.

Across the UAE, a handful of concerts have been cancelled or postponed, as organisers respond to ongoing regional developments. While it’s not a full shutdown, several events are still going ahead. However, ticket holders need to check with organisers before showing up at the venue, only to find it empty.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s happening in the events arena.

SB Girls: Postponed, but not cancelled

Fans of this high-energy Filipino group will need to wait a little longer to hear them.

• Status: Postponed
• Where: Dubai and Abu Dhabi
• New dates: Not announced yet

Group leader Rochelle Pangilinan reassured fans that this is just a pause, not the end. The reunion tour will still happen, but not now.

Josh Groban: Called off

If you were ready to sing along to the chorus line of the popular, You Raise Me Up, this one stings.

• Status: Cancelled
• Where: Coca-Cola Arena
• Reschedule: Not confirmed

Organisers cited unforeseen circumstances, and there’s no new date on the horizon.

Tenors of the XXI Century: On hold

Two shows, Magic Voices of Cartoons and World Hits About Love, are taking a rain check.

• Status: Postponed
• Where: Meyana Theatre, Dubai
• New dates: To be announced

If you were planning a classy night out, keep an eye out for updates.

Jason Derulo: Performance cancelled, event still on

This one’s a bit of a mixed bag.

• Event: Dubai World Cup
• Venue: Meydan Racecourse
• Concert status: Cancelled, as of now
• Event status: Still happening

Due to travel disruptions, Derulo won’t be taking the stage, but the races and overall event will go ahead as planned. No replacement act has been announced yet.

What can ticket holders expect?

While some shows are paused or cancelled, plenty of events across the UAE are still moving forward. Authorities and organisers are actively monitoring the situation and prioritising safety. For now, it is best to double-check event updates (online or by calling up organisers), look out for official announcements, and keep an eye on your email (including the spam folder).
