Shakira and Christina Aguilera Concerts Cancelled in UAE
PUBLISHED Aug 19, 2026, 3:18 PM ET
Organizers in the United Arab Emirates rescheduled major Abu Dhabi music events featuring Shakira and Christina Aguilera amid regional security concerns. The OFFLIMITS Music Festival, originally planned for April 4, was moved to November 21, 2026, with Shakira remaining listed as a performer. Christina Aguilera’s Etihad Arena concert was moved from April 24 to September 25, 2026. Organizers cited regional conditions affecting event planning and logistics, while available reports indicate the events were postponed rather than permanently cancelled. UAE event platforms said existing tickets would remain valid for the revised dates. The developments followed wider Middle East tensions that disrupted travel schedules and entertainment operations across the Gulf. No evidence was found confirming that both performances were permanently cancelled. � The National +1
