International music legends Maroon 5 are set to arrive in Dubai later this year.
Atlantis, The Palm has confirmed that multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band will headline its 2025 New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner. The group are in good company, with the property previously hosting performances by Sting in 2023 and Lionel Richie in 2024.
The group, renowned for chart-topping singles such as “Moves Like Jagger”, “She Will Be Loved”, “This Love”, “Payphone” and “Maps”, will perform an open-air set beneath the stars as part of the resort’s festive celebrations. The evening will culminate in a fireworks display stretching from Atlantis, The Palm to Atlantis, The Royal.

The menu will include lobster, caviar, sushi, live cooking stations, handcrafted desserts and petit fours, accompanied by free-flowing French sparkling and a selection of premium beverages. A 30-piece live band will perform throughout the evening.
