Abu Dhabi music event cancellations

Overview

Major musical events and festivals in Abu Dhabi have faced widespread cancellations. The 2026 edition of the OFFLIMITS music festival, which was scheduled to feature headliners such as Shakira and the Jonas Brothers, has been cancelled with organizers aiming for a return in 2027.

Individual concert cancellations have also been confirmed at the Etihad Arena. These include performances by Christina Aguilera and the Irish pop-rock band The Corrs. The Corrs cited “unforeseen circumstances beyond our control” for their cancellation.

Ticket providers have indicated that automatic refunds will be processed through original purchasing platforms. Previous disruptions to the region’s cultural and tourism sectors have been linked to regional security concerns and air traffic impacts resulting from conflict in the Middle East.
