The “Babylon” singer will take over Coca-Cola Arena on 31 October 2025.
David Gray is heading to Dubai for a special stop on his Past & Present world tour. The British singer-songwriter, best known for his early 2000s hits, will take the stage at Coca-Cola Arena on 31 October, performing a mix of new tracks and nostalgic favourites.
Fans can expect to hear classics like Babylon, This Year’s Love, and Sail Away—all from his iconic White Ladder album, which remains one of the best-selling records of all time. His signature fusion of folk, rock, and electronic elements has cemented his status as one of the UK’s most celebrated and well-loved artists.
Gray’s tour, which kicked off in January this year, has already made stops at legendary venues like New York City’s Beacon Theatre. Before landing in Dubai, he’ll perform across the UK and Ireland, wrapping up in the UAE.
The tour supports his latest album, Dear Life, with each show offering a mix of new releases alongside his greatest hits, and even a few surprise covers. Gray shared his excitement on Instagram: “Well, the clue’s in the title. Each night, I’ll play a few songs from the new record, all the big hits, plus a deep dive into a different album. There will be unexpected covers and a whole lot of energy.”
Tickets go on sale at 8am on 20 February, with an exclusive pre-sale for Live Nation members starting at 8am on 19 February. Alternatively you can head to coca-cola-arena.com to secure your tickets.
