An independent guide to concerts, sport, festivals, exhibitions and national celebrations in 32 countries, starting with the UAE. Sourced dates, official links, and pages that say where every fact came from.

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 pages only
Ticket and event links open the organiser's own page or an authorised seller. Hadath does not resell tickets and never links to resale marketplaces.
A site for each country
Thirty-two countries each have their own address, from uae.hadath.live and india.hadath.live to uk.hadath.live and usa.hadath.live, with city pages, categories and a month-by-month calendar.
The world in one calendar
hadath.live brings every country together: the biggest events of 2027, the sport calendar, music festivals, winter lights, New Year celebrations and more, in date order.
Deep in the UAE
The UAE site goes furthest: 50 planning guides, a blog, venues, organisers, a live board and a Cmd or Ctrl and K search across the whole season.
