Returning to the capital for the open-air concert series, the singer-songwriter will perform on Saturday, 28 December.
Between icons like Mariah Carey, Sting, and Andrea Bocelli performing at the inaugural edition of Saadiyat Nights, the return of this concert series is cause for celebration — and Robbie Williams is set to entertain you. The English hitmaker will perform in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, 28 December, joining a superstar line-up that also features Boyz II Men (25 January) and Christina Aguilera (15 February).
Williams first found fame as a member of Take That before pursuing a solo career in 1996, churning out hit after hit ranging from “Let Me Entertain You” in 1997 and “Rock DJ” in 2000 to “Come Undone” in 2002 and “Candy” in 2012. It’s no wonder, then, that the singer-songwriter has also racked all manner of awards along the way. Williams has received a record 18 Brit Awards, winning Best British Male Artist four times, and three MTV European Music Awards.
His latest album, XXV, continues to dominate the music scene. Released in September, the album features newly re-orchestrated versions of his greatest hits, in collaboration with the world-renowned Metropole Orkest. Loyal fans can expect to hear timeless classics like “Angels” as well as the aforementioned “Rock DJ” reimagined with rich orchestral arrangements that breathe new life into these beloved songs. The album also includes brand new tracks such as “Lost”, further showcasing the artist’s enduring creativity.
And then there’s the setting of Williams’ upcoming performance that audiences can look forward to. Transforming the capital’s favorite open-air venue into a magical escape of the sonic kind, Saadiyat Nights, is set against the visually striking backdrop of Saadiyat Island’s world-renowned vistas, so this exclusive event promises an unforgettable fusion of music and starlight. Incidentally, the series will continue to bring al fresco concerts to the capital for three months, so a lot more names will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets start from AED 295 and are available at ticketmaster.ae.
