Abu Dhabi, UAE – 02 February 2026:

Global Latin pop superstar Ricky Martin delivered a sensational and unforgettable performance as he made his long-awaited Abu Dhabi debut at Saadiyat Nights 2026, transforming Saadiyat Island into a vibrant celebration of music, rhythm, and emotion.

Performing at a custom-built open-air venue beneath the night sky, the multi-Grammy and Latin Grammy Award-winning artist captivated thousands of fans with an electrifying set that showcased the very best of his three-decade-long career. From the infectious energy of Livin’ la Vida Loca and María to crowd-favourite anthems like The Cup of Life and Vente Pa’ Ca, Martin delivered hit after hit, keeping the audience dancing and singing along throughout the night.

Recently honoured with the inaugural Latin Icon Award at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Martin reaffirmed his legendary status with a performance marked by powerful vocals, dynamic choreography, and polished stage production that elevated the Saadiyat Nights experience.

Addressing the crowd during the show, Martin expressed his excitement at performing in the UAE capital for the first time, saying:
“Abu Dhabi, are you ready to have a good time tonight? I love this audience. You are so warm and welcoming. Your applause is my fuel, and your smiles keep me coming back to the stage. Tonight, I am giving everything I have.”

The audience responded with overwhelming enthusiasm, as fans waved, danced, and sang along to every lyric, fully immersed in the celebratory atmosphere created by Martin’s charisma and unmistakable stage presence. His signature dance moves and magnetic connection with the crowd ensured the concert would be remembered as one of the standout moments of Saadiyat Nights 2026.

Ricky Martin’s show concluded a spectacular January lineup for Saadiyat Nights, which featured iconic performances by Diana Ross, Seal, Ludovico Einaudi, Lewis Capaldi, and Max Richter. The concert series continues into February with a stellar roster, beginning with global pop icon Mariah Carey on 7 February, followed by Bryan Adams on 11 February, and culminating with John Mayer on 15 February.
