Iconic band Train is coming to Dubai for a huge gig

Train

Get ready for a night of timeless hits and rock nostalgia

 

Get ready, Dubai – the soundtrack of a generation is rolling into town. Multi-GRAMMY Award-winning, diamond-selling rock icons Train are set to light up the Coca-Cola Arena on Thursday, 12 February 2026, in a much-anticipated show presented by Live Nation Middle East.

With a catalogue that reads like a greatest hits playlist – Hey, Soul Sister, Drops of Jupiter, Drive By just to name a few – the San Francisco band promises a night packed with feel-good anthems.

This year marks a particularly meaningful milestone for the band. It’s been 25 years since Drops of Jupiter launched Train into global stardom, earning them a GRAMMY and a permanent place in early-2000s rock history. Frontman Pat Monahan recently reflected on the song’s legacy, saying: “It changed everything for us.”

Since forming in 1994, Train has become one of modern rock’s most enduring acts. With over 10 million albums and 30 million tracks sold worldwide, three GRAMMY Awards, and 14 Billboard Hot 100 hits, the band’s success is nothing short of remarkable.

Their chart-topping, diamond-certified single Hey, Soul Sister was the most downloaded song of 2010 and has now surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.

Known for their high-energy live shows, Train’s upcoming Dubai performance promises a setlist spanning three decades of hits.

So mark your calendars and get ready to sing your heart out.

Thursday 12 February, Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai. LiveNation.me, Coca-Cola-Arena.com.
