The 15-time Grammy Award winner will perform on 17 February.
Saadiyat Island is increasingly at the centre of it all in Abu Dhabi, drawing not only foodies, beachgoers, and art and culture enthusiasts, but also melomaniacs. Following global superstar Mariah Carey’s performance under the stars over the weekend at Saadiyat Island, more details have been revealed about the new Saadiyat Nights concert series — and it includes a performance from Alicia Keys in the capital on 17 February.
Alicia Keys has clinched the prestigious Grammy Award 15 times, marking her excellence as a singer, songwriter, musician and producer. As the founder of Keys Soulcare and a New York Times best-selling author, she extends her influence to film, television, and Broadway production. Alicia is not only an accomplished actress and entrepreneur but also a formidable figure in the realm of activism.
A pivotal force in promoting gender equality in music, Alicia is among the founders of She Is The Music, an initiative dedicated to fostering change for women in the industry. Since her groundbreaking debut album, “Songs In A Minor,” in 2001, she has achieved remarkable success, selling over 65 million records and amassing over 5 billion streams.

As the #1 RIAA certified Female R&B artist of the millennium, Alicia Keys boasts over 37 million certified track sales and 20 million album sales in the US alone.
This is not her first time in the UAE. She was last in the country to perform at Expo 2020 Dubai. We hope she performs her smash hits singles “Fallin,” “Girl On Fire”, and “No One” when she takes to the stage in the capital.
As for the acts coming up? They include Sting on 3 February, Lebanese icon Magida El Roumi on 10 February, Tom Jones on 1 March and John Legend on 2 March.
Tickets start from AED 150 and are available on Ticketmaster. Saadiyat Nights is hosted by Experience Abu Dhabi in partnership with Miral, Saadiyat Abu Dhabi, and Aldar.
