Dubai will host Air Supply’s 50th Anniversary Celebration on Friday, 30 January 2026, with the show listed to start at 9:00pm at Coca-Cola Arena in City Walk. The venue sits at City Walk, Al Wasl and Al Safa Road junction, Dubai, so most guests approach via Sheikh Zayed Road. For official venue assistance, you can call 800 22 33 88 or email boxoffice@coca-cola-arena.com. Plan to arrive earlier than you think you need.
A night built around familiar songs
If your playlist includes “Lost in Love” and “All Out of Love,” this show will feel like a time machine. Because the set leans into their best-known eras, the sing-along moments tend to start early and stay steady. Expect a warm, nostalgia-heavy crowd rather than a rowdy one. Also, a 9:00pm start means the evening naturally runs late, so it suits couples and groups best (couples, friends, solo).
Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock on one stage
Air Supply’s story has always been about the blend, not the volume. Graham Russell’s songwriting and Russell Hitchcock’s vocal style shaped soft rock’s most recognizable mood, and that sound still carries in a big indoor room. Meanwhile, the tour framing matters, because the night celebrates 50 years of their catalog rather than one album. You can expect the biggest hits to anchor the set. Even if you grew up with these songs secondhand, the live harmonies usually make the night feel personal (family-friendly in seated areas).
Tickets, seating choices, and entry basics
Ticket listings show prices starting at approximately AED 199, and the amount rises with seat location and add-ons. If you want the simplest experience, seated tickets tend to feel smoother for families, because you can settle in before the lights go down (family-friendly). Check age rules before you buy, especially for standing areas. The venue notes that guests under 16 need an accompanying adult in seated sections, and standing areas can have stricter age conditions depending on the ticket type.
Simple ways to shape your evening
If you like an unhurried night, you can arrive to City Walk earlier, park once, and take a short stroll before doors feel busy. On the other hand, if you prefer a quick in-and-out, consider a drop-off rather than driving, because post-show pick-ups can bottleneck. Choose your plan based on how much walking you want after 11:00pm. Also, remember the arena runs as a cashless venue for many events, so bring a card or mobile payment.
Getting to City Walk from around the UAE
If you drive from Abu Dhabi, most routes funnel onto Sheikh Zayed Road, then guide you toward City Walk via the exits around Al Safa and Jumeirah. The arena’s visitor guidance specifically flags that a 17,000-capacity venue can generate heavy congestion, so leaving extra buffer time helps. If you come from Sharjah or the northern emirates, you often hit the same Friday peak on E11, so you’ll feel the slowdown closer to central Dubai. Try to arrive before the heaviest evening surge near showtime.
Metro, taxis, and drop-off tactics
Public transport can reduce stress, especially on a Friday night. City Walk guidance points metro riders to the Red Line with Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall as the common stop, and then many guests continue by taxi for the last stretch. The arena also notes a designated drop-off area at the main entrances, which can help if you use RTA taxis or ride-hailing. A short taxi hop after the metro often beats hunting for a last-minute parking bay.
Parking realities around the arena
Coca-Cola Arena’s own guidance warns about limited public parking at the venue and encourages public transport on busy nights. They also point to paid parking bays and additional nearby parking within a short walk, which is useful if the closest areas fill early. Meanwhile, City Walk parking rules can vary by zone and validation, so costs may depend on where you enter and how long you stay. Do not assume you will find a spot right at the doors after 8:00pm.
News-style practical notes for Friday evening
Current Dubai forecasts for Friday, 30 January 2026 show mostly sunny skies, with temperatures around 28°C daytime and about 17°C at night, so a light layer helps after the show and inside the air-conditioned arena. Because Friday traffic builds toward City Walk in the evening, aim for an early arrival window and consider metro-plus-taxi if you dislike parking uncertainty. Ticket prices and any door-related charges can change, so treat all figures as approximately, and keep your confirmation handy. <b>Buy only through official sellers such as TICKETMASTER, PLATINUMLIST, or the COCA-COLA ARENA BOX OFFICE. Also, details shared in entertainment roundups, including notes referenced by the editor of www.few.ae, often help you double-check timing before you leave home.
