With a loyal regional fanbase, the one-night-only event is expected to draw crowds from across the GCC.
His Last Tour Was Record-Breaking

It raked in over $209 million from 76 sold-out shows across North America, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand, selling more than 1.7 million tickets. The 2025 tour is set to be more exclusive, focusing only on select international cities.

16 July 2025 00:35 Abu Dhabi (ALETIHAD)Abu Dhabi Art has announced the artists participating in the annual 'Beyond Emerging Artists' programme, which commissions new work by up-and-coming UAE-based artists to exhibit at the fair each year's edition will be curated by internationally renowned artist Issam Kourbaj, who has invited Alla Abdunabi, Salmah Almansoori and Maktoum Marwan Al Maktoum to develop new commissions to be exhibited at the Abu Dhabi Art Fair, which will take place on November 19 to 23 at Manarat Al Saadiyat. The new works will also be exhibited internationally after the fair ends. Beyond Emerging Artists seeks to give UAE-based artists exposure, enabling them to benefit from a mentorship programme offered by the guest selected artists will share artwork that spans installation, sculpture and conceptual storytelling, exploring themes of identity, memory, materiality and the layered histories of place. Curator Kourbaj commented on the selection: 'It was challenging to select just three participants for the programme from amongst so many exciting emerging artists put forward. Like many creatives around the world, young artists in the region are directing their gaze toward excavating the present and engaging with urgent matters of our time, whether environmental, social or historical. 'I very much look forward to working with the three selected artists and guiding their visual voices as they develop a body of work inspired by Al Ain, both as a source and a canvas for new ideas.' Alla Abdunabi Abdunabi is a visual artist working in sculpture and installation. Her practice explores the afterlives of objects through storytelling that merges historical, personal and fictional narratives. She reflects on shifting histories and the material memory of place.'I'm honoured to be part of Beyond Emerging Artists this year,' said Abdunabi. 'With the support of Abu Dhabi Art and curated by Issam Kourbaj, I'll be exploring object histories in my presentation at the fair. In addition, through the Al Ain commission, I look forward to creating a site-specific work that listens to the buried histories of the land.'Marwan Al MaktoumAl Maktoum is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work explores the human condition through themes such as value, time, belief systems and the psyche. His practice is influenced by lived experience, folklore, storytelling, surrealism, language and metaphor.'I am honoured to have been selected as part of the Beyond Emerging Artists programme,' he said. 'I especially look forward to the mentorship of Issam Kourbaj and continuing the world-building approach of my work within the context of an art fair, as well as investigating the archaeological histories of our country in sites such as the ones found in Al Ain.' Salmah Almansoori Almansoori is a multi-disciplinary artist, whose practice spans painting, sculpture and installation. Her work documents what is being erased - abandoned places, forgotten objects and fading traditions. By collecting fragments from these sites and transforming them into abstract yet intimate narratives, she explores themes of displacement, identity and emotional inheritance.'I'm grateful to be part of Beyond Emerging Artists this year. This opportunity allows me to deepen my exploration of memory and place, and to share stories from my hometown that are often overlooked. With the guidance of Issam Kourbaj, I look forward to developing a new body of work that reflects on transformation, loss and belonging.' she Emerging Artists is sponsored by Abu Dhabi Art's global partner HSBC and supported by Friends of Abu Dhabi Art, a group of philanthropists committed to supporting the art ecosystem in the UAE and chaired by Asma Seddiq Al-Mutawa.
