Hadath: what's on across the UAE
A new, independent guide to concerts, sport, festivals, exhibitions and shows in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond. Sourced dates, official ticket links, and planning guides that say where every fact came from.
30 seconds
A guide you can check
Every date has a source
Each listing names its organiser and cites where the date, venue and price came from, with the day it was checked. Where a date is not confirmed, it says so.
Official tickets only
Ticket buttons open the organiser's own page or an authorised seller. Hadath does not resell and does not add a markup.
Find it your way
Filter by emirate, date, price and category, switch between list, grid and calendar, save events to a shortlist, and press Cmd or Ctrl and K to search.
Planning guides that cite sources
50 guides cover the season month by month, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix week, National Day, Ramadan dates, how to buy tickets safely and how to plan around the busiest weeks.
Built for organisers too
Organisers can list an event, and every outbound link carries tracking tags so the traffic Hadath sends can be seen in the organiser's own analytics.
Three places to begin
- The events calendar, in date order with filters and a calendar view.
- The Hadath blog, with the season month by month and a guide to buying tickets safely.
- List your event, if you are an organiser or a venue.
