Famed for her record-breaking singles and electrifying live performances, Katy Perry will take to the stage for a spectacular open-air performance under the stars, bringing her signature energy and a setlist packed with chart-topping hits and fan favourites, including Firework, Roar, Last Friday Night, and Dark Horse. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Atlantis, The Palm, guests will experience an unforgettable night of music, celebration and captivating entertainment, culminating in a dazzling fireworks display stretching across the Dubai skyline from Atlantis, The Palm to Atlantis The Royal.

The biggest-selling female artist in Capitol history, Katy is one of only twelve artists to surpass 100 million certified units with solo single releases and was the first-ever Capitol Records recording artist to reach 10 million RIAA-certified units for a single in 2015. She was also the first artist in RIAA history to earn three RIAA Diamond singles for “Firework”, “Dark Horse” and “Roar”.
