Just a girl, and a superstar: Gwen Stefani to rock Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Nights

Gwen Stefani, the powerhouse behind iconic tracks like Hollaback Girl and The Sweet Escape, is making her long-awaited debut in the UAE capital on 21 February.

Stefani’s performance is part of a bumper closing weekend that will also see legendary crooner Lionel Richie take to the stage on 22 February.

If you grew up belting out Don’t Speak or perfected your dance moves to What You Waiting For?, you’ll know just how much of a powerhouse Gwen Stefani is. From her early days as the frontwoman of No Doubt to her glittering solo career, Stefani has been a pop culture trailblazer. With three Grammys under her belt and a slew of hits that defined the early 2000s, her Abu Dhabi debut promises to be bananas—B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

Gwen Stefani isn’t just known for her chart-topping tunes. Over the years, she’s cemented her status as a global style icon, blending music, fashion, and beauty in ways that have set trends for decades. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to her music, expect a performance that’s as visually stunning as it is musically unforgettable.

The Saadiyat Nights series has been on fire this year, with performances from big names like Michael Bublé, Robbie Williams, and Ebi already wowing the crowds. Still to come before Stefani’s big night are acts like Leningrad (24 January), Boyz II Men (25 January), Omar Khairat (1 February), and Christina Aguilera (15 February).
