Dubai has turned itself into one of the world's busiest events cities. A sold-out night at the Coca-Cola Arena, a February week of tour tennis, a Rugby Sevens weekend in the desert: the calendar runs deep through the cooler months and pulls fans in from across the region and beyond. Booking by destination lets you see what is on in Dubai, then plan around the event worth building a trip on.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
1BoxOffice lists live sport and entertainment across the city through verified sellers, and it sits within the wider United Arab Emirates calendar for fans planning across the emirates. From arena concerts to stadium sport, the marketplace channels the demand for Dubai's marquee events.
The Coca-Cola Arena at City Walk is the region's largest indoor venue and the heart of Dubai's live-entertainment scene. It seats around 17,000 and stages touring concerts, live comedy and combat sport through the year, often switching between very different events week to week. The Coca-Cola Arena tickets page lists what is scheduled at the venue.
For the full spread of live entertainment across the city, the music and show tickets calendar brings concerts, comedy and shows together. If a specific kind of night is what you are after, the concert tickets page tracks touring music, while the stand-up comedy tickets page follows the comedians on tour through the region.
Dubai's sporting calendar is built around the cooler season, and it carries some of the biggest names in world sport. These pages cover the events that draw crowds to the city:
The city also stages the Dubai World Cup horse racing at Meydan in the spring and a marathon through the streets in the new year, so the sporting calendar stretches well beyond the arena.
Dubai is built for visitors, and the venues sit close to the hotels, the beaches and the airport. A single event can anchor a weekend, and the cooler months from autumn to spring carry the densest calendar, from arena concerts to the tennis and the Rugby Sevens. The city rewards the days between events too, with the beach, the malls and the desert all within easy reach.
The emirates lend themselves to a two-city trip. To plan across the country, browsing Abu Dhabi event tickets shows what is on in the capital, so a Dubai weekend can extend into a wider UAE tour.
