Fireworks, fine dining and Katy Perry light up Dubai’s New Year’s Eve
Dubai: Katy Perry is set to headline Atlantis, The Palm’s New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner on December 31, bringing her global pop hits to Dubai for a star-studded countdown to 2027.
The Grammy-nominated singer will perform outdoors under the stars, with a setlist expected to include some of her biggest hits, including Firework, Roar, Dark Horse and Last Friday Night.
The performance will culminate in a midnight fireworks display stretching across the Dubai skyline, from Atlantis, The Palm to Atlantis The Royal.
Perry, who made her Capitol Records debut with One of the Boys in 2008, has amassed 115 billion streams worldwide, with sales of more than 70 million adjusted albums and 143 million tracks.
She is also the first artist in RIAA history to achieve three Diamond-certified singles for Firework, Dark Horse and Roar.
Kym Barter, Managing Director of Atlantis Dubai, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Katy Perry as the headline performer for this year’s New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at Atlantis, The Palm. As one of the world’s most recognisable and celebrated music artists, her presence continues our tradition of bringing extraordinary global talent to Atlantis Dubai for one of the year's most anticipated celebrations.”
The black-tie gala will begin at 6pm, with guests offered canapés, welcome drinks and roaming entertainment before moving to the outdoor gala setting.
A 30-piece live band will perform through the evening, alongside a buffet featuring lobster, caviar, sushi, live cooking stations, desserts and petit fours.
For families, the Asateer Tent will be transformed into a children’s party zone featuring a giant slide, bouncy castle, outdoor cinema, games, arts and crafts and other activities.
