The pop star will headline Atlantis, The Palm’s glamorous NYE Gala Dinner
Dubai’s New Year’s Eve plans just got a very big pop star upgrade.
Katy Perry is set to headline the annual New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at Atlantis, The Palm, bringing plenty of Firework energy to the Palm Jumeirah on 31 December.
The black-tie celebration will combine live entertainment, theatrical performances, dinner and those all-important Dubai skyline views, before the night culminates in a huge fireworks display stretching between Atlantis, The Palm and Atlantis The Royal.
Perry is no stranger to the UAE. She closed the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with a race-day concert at Etihad Park on December 7, marking the final date of her Lifetimes Tour.
She also previously performed at an invitation-only Dubai Airshow Gala Dinner at Atlantis, The Palm in 2015.
And this isn’t her first UAE New Year’s Eve appearance either. Back in 2017, Perry rang in 2018 on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, performing hits including Firework.
Now, she’s heading back to Dubai for one of the city’s biggest NYE celebrations.
