Several events have been delayed as a result of the current uncertainty in the region.
If you’ve been planning to attend live music events in the UAE, it’s time to double-check your schedule. Several upcoming concerts across the country have recently been cancelled or postponed amid ongoing regional tensions, leaving fans waiting for new dates and official announcements.
Despite the uncertainty affecting parts of the UAE and the wider GCC, organisers and venues are working to reschedule affected shows wherever possible. Many other events are continuing as planned, with authorities closely monitoring the situation to ensure public safety.
1. SB Girls
Filipino pop group SB Girls, famed for their energetic performances and devoted fan base, have postponed their UAE reunion concerts, part of the Get, Get Aw! world tour. Group leader Rochelle Pangilinan informed fans of the change, saying in Filipino, “We do not have the new dates for now, but promise we will announce them as soon as they are finalized.”
She also reassured fans that the concerts will go ahead. “This is not cancelled, only a pause. Breathe first,” Pangilinan said.
