Shakira, Christina Aguilera concerts in Abu Dhabi cancelled
Iran has continued its attacks on Emirati ships in recent weeks, after a ceasefire fell apart last month.
The UAE has suspended all trade and financial dealings with Iran following an Iranian missile attack on its ships, leading to the cancellation of two high-profile concerts. The Offlimits music festival, originally scheduled for November with Shakira as the headliner, has been called off and ticket refunds have been promised. The festival's organizers expressed their intention to reschedule the event for 2027, though the precise new date has not been announced.
Additionally, Christina Aguilera's concert, originally set for 25 September, has also been cancelled, though a rescheduled date has not been provided by Ticketmaster, the ticket sales platform. Both events had been planned for April before being postponed due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
