Layali Al Eid brings Hussain Al Jassmi and Ahmed Saad to Abu Dhabi’s Space42 Arena
Tickets now on sale for major Arabic live performances
ABU DHABI – The UAE capital is set for a major Eid Al Fitr music weekend as Layali Al Eid brings two of the Arab world’s best-known artists to Space42 Arena at Al Raha Beach.
Emirati star Hussain Al Jassmi will open the celebrations on Saturday, March 21, followed by Egyptian singer Ahmed Saad on Sunday, March 22. Tickets for both concerts are now on sale through Platinumlist.net, with doors opening at 7pm and each show scheduled to begin at 9pm.
The two-night programme adds fresh momentum to Abu Dhabi’s Eid calendar, offering audiences live Arabic music performances during one of the busiest festive periods of the year. With both evenings taking place at the same waterfront venue, Layali Al Eid is shaping up as a high-profile entertainment draw for residents and visitors heading into the holiday weekend.
Opening night
Al Jassmi’s concert will headline the first evening of the programme on March 21. One of the most recognisable voices in the region, the Emirati singer has built a career spanning more than three decades and remains a fixture at major cultural and national events. His catalogue includes widely known tracks such as Meshta'ak, Boshret Kheir, Bel Bont El Areedh and Fegadtek.
Known for his commanding stage presence and strong rapport with audiences, Al Jassmi’s performances continue to attract fans across generations. His appearance is expected to set the tone for the Eid celebration, with organisers positioning the night as a key live entertainment event in the capital.
Second evening
The celebrations will continue on Sunday, March 22, with Ahmed Saad taking the stage. The Egyptian artist has established a strong following across the region through a style that blends contemporary Arabic pop with emotionally driven lyrics. Among his best-known songs are El Youm El Helw Dah, Ya Layaly and Maksarat.
Saad will arrive in Abu Dhabi with added momentum from his 2026 release Zai Zaman, a track that has continued to gain attention among listeners. His concert forms part of a broader line-up of Eid live music experiences in the city and follows directly after Al Jassmi’s previously announced performance.
