Dubai: Multi-platinum sensation Teddy Swims and nine-time Grammy Award-winning DJ and producer Mark Ronson will headline the Dubai Airshow 2025 Gala Dinner, delivering a spectacular finale to one of the world’s biggest aviation events.

Set for 20 November at Atlantis The Palm, the invites-only gala – hosted by Dubai Airports, operator of the world’s largest international hub – will welcome 3,300 guests for an evening of world-class dining, entertainment and immersive storytelling.

The event aligns with this year’s Dubai Airshow theme, The Future Is Here, celebrating the people, ideas and partnerships shaping the next era of aviation.

Teddy Swims will take the stage with his genre-blending sound of soul, country and pop, performing hits including Lose Control and The Door against the backdrop of Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah.

Mark Ronson, renowned for his collaborations with Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga, will close the night with an exclusive after-party DJ set.

Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, in statement said:
“The Dubai Airshow is where the aviation and aerospace world doesn't just gather, it lifts off. It’s a convergence of ambition, imagination, and progress, where the future of flight is shaped through conversation and collaboration."

Over the years, the stage has welcomed legends and icons Maroon 5, The Script, OneRepublic, Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez. Each performance has added something unforgettable to an evening that reflects both the scale of our industry and the soul behind it.

This year’s edition will be our most ambitious yet, a tribute to the energy that moves us forward, and to aviation’s enduring role in connecting the world not just physically, but creatively, culturally, and collectively.”

From red-carpet arrivals to an extraordinary dining experience, guests will be immersed in a curated evening that includes interactive activations, cutting-edge displays and multisensory installations. The evening will be officially opened by Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports.

Widely regarded as the social highlight of the Dubai Airshow and a fixture on the global aviation calendar, the gala dinner once again reflects Dubai’s role in shaping and celebrating the future of global aviation.
