Maroon 5 rang in 2026 with a live performance at Atlantis, The Palm, as thousands gathered for one of Dubai’s headline New Year’s Eve celebrations.
The US band delivered a hit-packed set featuring Sugar, Moves Like Jagger, Animals and One More Night, with frontman Adam Levine leading the crowd through the countdown to midnight.
As the clock struck twelve, fireworks lit up the skyline across Atlantis, The Palm and Atlantis The Royal, drawing cheers from more than 4,000 guests, including hotel residents and visitors from across the city.
The concert formed part of a wider night of entertainment at the resort, which also featured live music during guest arrivals and a large-scale gala event. A small number of premium suites offering elevated views and added experiences sold out ahead of the night.
The performance capped a night of celebrations across Dubai, as the city welcomed 2026 with concerts, fireworks and public events at landmarks across the emirate.
