    K-pop fans in the UAE, this one’s for you. K-POP FEVER — a massive live K-pop concert production — is heading to Etihad Arena, Yas Island on 26 September 2026, bringing the biggest hits from BTS, BLACKPINK, KATSEYE, K-pop Demon Hunters, and more to Abu Dhabi.

    Presented by MAC Global, this isn’t a tribute act or a playlist DJ night. It’s a full-scale live production featuring a cast of 12 singers and dancers, combining high-energy choreography, live vocals, and large-scale stage visuals for a genuine K-pop concert experience — right here in the UAE.

If you’ve been waiting for a K-pop live experience in Abu Dhabi that actually delivers production value, K-POP FEVER is it.

    Tickets & Details

    With tickets starting from AED 95, this is one of the more accessible big-venue shows of the season. Grab yours before it sells out — K-pop audiences in the UAE are growing fast, and this production is tailor-made for them.

    Tickets and prices

    Tickets start from AED 95, with pricing tiered by seating, and are on sale through the Etihad Arena website and Platinumlist. A pre-sale ran ahead of the general on-sale, and as with most Etihad Arena shows, the better seats tend to go early, so it is worth booking ahead.

    Who is actually performing?

    Worth setting expectations: K-POP FEVER is a large-scale live production celebrating K-pop, not an appearance by the original artists. A cast of 12 singers and dancers performs fan-favourite hits inspired by the likes of BTS, BLACKPINK and KATSEYE, plus tracks from the viral K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack. The draw is the production itself – live vocals, full choreography, large-scale stage visuals and special effects built to recreate the feel of a proper K-pop concert.

    The venue: Etihad Arena, Yas Island

    The show is at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi’s largest indoor arena, right beside the Yas Bay Waterfront. It makes an easy addition to a Yas Island day out, with theme parks, restaurants and the waterfront all close by, plus plenty of parking and taxi access on the night.
