The theme of the upcoming New Year’s Eve Gala is ‘A Night With The Stars’.
She first performed at Atlantis, The Palm’s grand opening back in 2008, and now she’s back for another round of festivities – Kylie Minogue is officially set to headline the resort’s popular New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner. Following in the footsteps of KISS in 2020, and Robbie Williams in 2021, the pop sensation will entertain guests with global anthems such as “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” and classics like “The Loco-Motion” in the run-up to 2023 – rather apt considering the theme of this year’s gala is ‘A Night With The Stars’.
Minogue has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide and, in 2020, made UK chart history becoming the first female solo artist to claim number one albums in five consecutive decades. She has multiple awards and accolades to her name, including three BRIT Awards, two MTV Music Awards, and a Grammy award. Timothy Kelly, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Atlantis Dubai, said, “A fan favourite in the region and a world-class entertainer, we are incredibly excited to welcome the return of Kylie Minogue to Atlantis, The Palm for a spectacular New Year’s Eve performance. As the leading entertainment destination in the region, our New Year’s Eve Gala Dinners have become legendary, with Kylie joining the likes of rock band KISS in 2020, and Robbie Williams in 2021. We have no doubt that 2023 will be another exceptional moment and can’t wait to give our guests one of the most memorable New Year’s Eve of their lives.”
We’re told that only those attending the big event can take advantage of seeing the spectacular live appearance from the world-renowned entertainer followed by one of Dubai’s largest and most stunning firework and pyrotechnic displays, as the skies above Palm Jumeirah are turned into a riot of colour. A glamorous black-tie affair, the New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at Atlantis, The Palm is hailed as one of Dubai’s most dazzling celebrations. Accommodated on a custom-built deck under the stars overlooking the island and twinkling Dubai skyline, the legendary event features live music from a 30-piece band, free-flowing champagne, and unlimited premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
A decadent buffet has something for everyone featuring a myriad of dishes from lobster and caviar to a live sushi station, glittering ice sculptures, and a choice of over 65 handcrafted desserts, cakes, and petit fours. Little ones attending the celebration are invited to a party of their own in the Asateer Tent – the celebration will feature an enormous slide, bouncy castle, an outdoor cinema, games stalls, arts and crafts, and more. The Gala Dinner Package is priced AED 5,900 for adults, while the upgraded Rouge Circle Package is priced AED 6,900. And if seating in a prime location in front of the stage is what you’re after, splurge on the Golden Circle Package, which will set you back AED 8,500.
