  "summary": "The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is gearing up for a busy autumn of events, with over 100 major events confirmed on its calendar for this year. The live events industry is preparing for the traditionally quieter summer months, and while there have been some changes, most of the programming is set to continue as planned. Arabic music takes the lead, with concerts featuring Najwa Karam, Nancy Ajram, Tamer Hosny, Tamer Ashour, Amr Diab, Hiba Tawaji, Mohammed Al Qahoom, Najwa Karam, and others. The Abu Dhabi Festival returns for its 23rd edition, showcasing classical music, ballet, and theatre, with highlights including Hans Zimmer and American Ballet Theatre. The UAE concert calendar also reflects its multicultural communities, featuring Bollywood, devotional singing, Filipino artists, and international comedy acts.",
