Rod Stewart to perform in Abu Dhabi

The Rock ’n’ Roll legend will perform at Etihad Arena later this year.

He’s one of the best-known voices of his generation, and one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, with multiple awards under his belt and more than 120 million records sold. If you’re a fan of the genre-melding musician, you won’t want to miss Sir Rod Stewart live in concert in Abu Dhabi this December.

Rod is no stranger to the UAE. He performed in Abu Dhabi for the very first-time way back in 2017 (at the du Arena as it was formerly known) and has been a regular visitor since that initial performance.

The latest addition to Etihad Arena’s packed schedule of stars, Rod will perform for one night only on 17 December as part of his current world tour, which kicks off in Europe this spring. He will also perform in Las Vegas and team up with Billy Joel on stage at various venues over the summer.

And in case you needed more proof he’s still got it – Rod’s also been confirmed to play the legendary Sunday teatime slot at Glastonbury in June, a coveted highlight on the UK festival calendar. It’s his first Glasto performance since 2002, and he’s promising to “pleasure and titillate” the crowd at Worthy Farm.

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed 33^rd studio album, Swing Fever, his Abu Dhabi set list is sure to feature a slew of old favourites. Guests can expect to be treated to greatest hits such as Maggie May, Baby Jane, Forever Young and Have I Told You Lately That I Love You.
