Maroon 5 To Headline Atlantis, The Palm’s Iconic New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner

• Following star-studded New Year’s performances from Sting in 2023 and Lionel Richie in 2024, the region’s leading entertainment destination invites guests to ring in 2026 with Grammy Award winners, Maroon 5. 

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India – Atlantis, The Palm announces that globally celebrated pop icons Maroon 5 will headline its highly anticipated New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner. Featuring a setlist of chart-topping hits and fan favourites, guests can look forward to an unforgettable countdown to 2026. With this year’s theme, ‘Winter Wonderland’, the evening promises award-winning cuisine, enchanted entertainment, and a night to remember.

Famed for their high-energy shows and record-breaking singles, Maroon 5 will take to the stage in what promises to be a spectacular open-air performance under the stars, treating guests to some of their greatest hits like “Moves Like Jagger”, “She Will Be Loved”, “This Love”, “Payphone”, “Maps” and many more. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Atlantis, The Palm, and culminating in a dazzling fireworks display that spans from Atlantis, The Palm to the world’s most ultra-luxury experiential resort, Atlantis The Royal, the evening will be the crown jewel of Dubai’s end-of-year celebrations.

GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum powerhouse Maroon 5 are one of pop music’s biggest and most enduring bands. In 2025, Billboard named them the top band (and #11 overall top artist) of the 21st century. To date, the universally renowned Los Angeles group have sold 100+ million albums and 750 million+ singles, and charted 32 records on the Billboard Hot 100. Maroon 5 have achieved this success on their own terms with an instantly recognisable and singular style. A combination of airtight songwriting, straightforward lyricism, clever wit, and adventurous creativity has earmarked their hypnotic hybrid of rock and pop from day one. Emerging from the City of Angels with this style, they catapulted to world renown with their debut, Songs About Jane, which garnered their first GRAMMY® for “Best New Artist” in 2005.

Paul Baker, President of Atlantis, Kerzner International, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Maroon 5 to headline this year’s New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at Atlantis, The Palm. As one of the most recognisable names in global music, their presence continues our tradition of bringing world-class entertainment to Dubai’s most iconic celebration. Over the years, our gala has become synonymous with unforgettable performances, exceptional dining, and awe-inspiring experiences. With Maroon 5 joining the ranks of past headliners, we look forward to delivering yet another spectacular evening for our guests as we ring in 2026 in true Atlantis style.”
