SB19’s Dubai stop will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena, nestled in the bustling City Walk precinct in Dubai. This flexible, fully air-conditioned indoor arena is the largest of its kind in the Middle East, with a maximum seating capacity of about 17,000 attendees. Its bowl layout is configurable, offering end-stage, in-the-round, and more intimate setups, while automated retractable seating allows the configuration to adapt to the scale of the event. The roof structure can support up to 190 metric tonnes of rigging and production load, enabling large concert staging and technical demands.
Inside, the arena features roughly 400 square metres of modular and ribbon LED screens, a state-of-the-art sound system, and a façade equipped with strip LED lights that can shift color to match the mood of performances. There are 42 corporate suites for hospitality, and the bowl area spans about 86 m × 45 m on its ground floor. The venue is managed by Legends Global and designed to host events year-round — from concerts and sports to theatrical shows and gala dinners.
On a practical note: the arena does not offer large public parking facilities. Attendees are typically encouraged to use taxis, ride-share services, or public transit. The nearest Dubai Metro stop is Dubai Mall / Burj Khalifa station (Red Line), from which a short walk or shuttle arrangement can be used. The venue is just a 15-minute drive from Dubai International Airport under usual traffic conditions.
Time, Timing & Conditions
The concert is scheduled for Saturday, 11 October 2025, with doors opening at 20:00 (8 PM) local time. Ticket prices reportedly begin from AED 199 for select seating categories. Age restrictions apply: children under 14 years are not permitted in the general admission (standing floor) zone. Platinumlist Dubai
As for weather, October in Dubai is still quite hot and dry. Daytime temperatures often rise to around 36 °C, with nighttime lows near 23 °C, along with elevated humidity levels. Rain is extremely unlikely — October historically sees nearly 0 mm of precipitation in Dubai. Given those conditions, the indoor, climate-controlled environment of the Coca-Cola Arena provides an advantage: attendees can enjoy the show in comfort without concern for heat or weather disruption.
Because traffic can be heavy, especially close to dinner time or event-start periods, it is recommended that concertgoers plan their route ahead, allow buffer time, and explore transit or ride-share options.
About the Event and the Artist
This Dubai concert forms part of Simula at Wakas World Tour, SB19’s third global tour promoting their EP of the same title. SB19 is a Filipino boy band consisting of five members: Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin. They are known for combining P-Pop sensibilities (Philippine pop) with polished performance, choreography, and strong fan engagement.
The tour spans 23 shows across Asia, North America, and Oceania. It commenced on 31 May 2025 in the Philippines and has already covered cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Toronto, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The Dubai date on 11 October is among the later international stops, preceding shows in Doha, Bangkok, and others.
Over the years, SB19 has accumulated acclaim as one of Southeast Asia’s leading pop groups, achieving recognition on global charts and paving the way for P-Pop to reach international audiences.
What Fans Can Expect
Attendees can look forward to a high-energy concert full of elaborate choreography, audiovisual production, and a curated setlist mixing new songs from Simula at Wakas with fan favorites. Given the arena’s technical readiness — from LED screens to rigging capacity — fans may see large-scale visuals, immersive lighting, and dynamic stage modularity. The rolling modular stage and retractable seating system allow the production to shift between grand spectacle and closer, more intimate moments.
Given the age restriction for the standing floor section, younger fans should consider booking seated areas. The venue enforces no external food or drink, and no smoking or vaping is allowed inside. Tickets will be delivered electronically ahead of the show (five days before).
The organization is handled by Live Nation Middle East. They have previously presented major international acts in the region and are partnering to bring SB19’s Dubai show to fruition.
This event marks a homecoming of sorts: SB19 previously performed in Dubai in April of the prior year (2024), at a different venue (The Agenda). By staging their latest performance at the Coca-Cola Arena, the group steps into a more expansive, high-technology setting befitting their rising global profile.
