FLASH Entertainment, the region’s premier live events company, announced today that Katy Perry will ring in a special New Year’s Eve with her Abu Dhabi debut performance on Sunday, 31 December 2017 at the du Arena, Yas Island. The pop superstar’s New Year’s Eve concert will delight fans with its glittering stage set and her eclectic edge, presented by du Live! and brought to you by FLASH Entertainment in association with the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi and Yas Island, an award-winning entertainment destination in Abu Dhabi.

 

Having moved souls and bodies around the globe with her stunning tracks, Perry released her fourth studio album, WITNESS, in June of this year. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and the lead single, “Chained To The Rhythm,” set the record for the biggest first day Spotify streams by a female artist, and is now certified Platinum, with over 1 billion streams worldwide. After Perry’s breakthrough debut in 2008 with One of the Boys, the vocal and pop talent immediately secured her global star status with Teenage Dream in 2010.

 

John Lickrish, CEO of FLASH Entertainment, said: “We’re thrilled to bring global sensation Katy Perry to the du Arena stage for this year’s New Year’s Eve concert. The response we received from last year’s successful Coldplay ‘A Head Full of Dreams Tour’ was incredible, and reaffirms our commitment to continue to offer the best and most diverse entertainment to the region. Abu Dhabi continues to gain momentum as a world-class destination and we’re proud to work with partners across all sectors to ensure we offer exceptional year-round experiences. New Year’s Eve is a special time to reminisce and get excited for what’s to come, and we’re working hard to ensure fans have an unforgettable New Year’s on Yas Island with easy access, dedicated parking, transportation services and great food and beverage options.”

Securing more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide with 2013’s PRISM, she is also the most-followed person globally on Twitter, and the first to accrue 100 million followers. Known around the world for her masterpiece live performances and a bevy of hits under her belt, du Arena fans are sure to “Roar” in exhilaration at this unmissable New Year’s Eve show.
