DUBAI: Global music icon Mariah Carey is set to headline the 2025–2026 edition of Saadiyat Nights, Abu Dhabi’s open-air concert series held on Saadiyat Island.

The five-time Grammy Award-winning singer will perform in the UAE capital on Feb. 7, 2026, marking her return to the stage after her sold-out debut at the inaugural Saadiyat Nights in January 2024.

Fans are expecting a performance featuring her signature powerhouse vocals, well-known hits and dynamic stage production.

Over a career spanning more than three decades, Carey has become one of the best-selling female artists in history, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide and 19 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, the most by any solo artist.

Her catalog includes globally recognized songs such as “Hero,” “Fantasy,” “Always Be My Baby,” “Dreamlover,” “We Belong Together,” and “One Sweet Day.”
