Christina Aguilera to perform live in Abu Dhabi concert
Seven-time Grammy winner to perform at Etihad Arena next April
ABU DHABI – Pop’s most commanding voice is making her way back to the UAE capital.
Christina Aguilera, the seven-time Grammy Award-winning artist known for her electrifying stage presence and era-defining hits, will perform live at Etihad Arena on Yas Island on April 24, 2026.
The concert marks Aguilera’s much-awaited return to Abu Dhabi, promising fans a larger-than-life night of energy, nostalgia, and vocal brilliance.
From teen star to global icon
Aguilera’s rise from a Mickey Mouse Club prodigy to a pop legend has spanned more than three decades. With nearly 100 million records sold worldwide, she remains one of the most powerful and versatile voices in contemporary music. Songs like Genie in a Bottle, Beautiful, Fighter, and Dirrty turned her into a global sensation – and continue to define playlists today.
Her 2022 Spanish-language album Aguilera earned critical acclaim and a Latin Grammy Award, reflecting her evolution as an artist who continues to push creative boundaries. Fans can expect a dynamic setlist that bridges her earliest chart-toppers with her modern hits, all delivered through her unmistakable powerhouse vocals.

Organised by Ethara, in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, the event aims to bring one of the year’s most immersive pop experiences to Yas Island.
The last time Aguilera performed in Abu Dhabi – during the 2025 Saadiyat Nights concert series – her show was hailed as a “masterclass in live performance”. The 2026 return is expected to build on that success, cementing her place as one of the region’s most celebrated visiting performers.
