What kind of night this is
This is a Tamil musical celebration built around nostalgia, live musicianship, and a festive December mood. Moreover, the program runs for about four hours, so it feels more like a full evening than a short concert. Therefore, it suits music lovers who enjoy sing-along moments and live arrangements. It is designed as a family-friendly evening. (family-friendly, suitable for couples, suitable for solo)
Artists and stage energy
The show features playback singer Saisharan as the headliner, and he leads the night with a strong live set. Additionally, top musicians from Chennai support the performance, so you can expect live instruments and fuller sound rather than backing tracks. Meanwhile, Dubai-based singers from the Ponmaalai Pozhuthu community also join, which often adds warmth and a local connection. The set leans on live performance, not spectacle.
Tickets and AED expectations
Tickets start from AED 35, and the price usually climbs by seating category and location inside the theatre. However, ticket and door prices can change, so treat any number as approximately until you complete checkout. Also, the event welcomes all ages, yet children above 5 typically need a valid ticket. Book earlier if you want better seat choice.
How to plan arrival without stress
Because gates open at 17:00, you can aim to reach the area between 17:00 and 17:30 for a calmer entry. Moreover, that buffer helps if you want time for parking, security checks, and finding your seat without rushing. If you prefer the simplest route, take a taxi or rideshare straight to Emirates Theatre in Umm Al Sheif. Parking capacity can feel limited near peak entry.
Simple options for food and timing
If you want dinner first, consider an early meal and then head to the venue before 17:30. Alternatively, you can grab a light snack and keep your focus on arriving smoothly rather than searching for parking late. Moreover, a four-hour show rewards a comfortable plan, so hydration and a quick bite help. Avoid last-minute dining that delays your entry.
Coming from Abu Dhabi or Sharjah
From Abu Dhabi, the drive can stay smooth until you hit busier Dubai corridors, so leave earlier than you think you need. Likewise, from Sharjah, the outbound traffic can tighten on Saturday evening, so a wider buffer keeps the trip comfortable. After the show, you can leave promptly for the fastest return, or wait a short while for roads to ease. Plan your return before the encore energy fades.
Weather, traffic, and practical closing tips
On Saturday, 20 December 2025, Dubai looks warm in the afternoon and mild in the evening, with showtime around the low 20s Celsius, while earlier showers may pass during the day. Therefore, bring a light layer for indoor cooling and consider a small umbrella just in case roads stay damp. Moreover, Saturday evening traffic can build across Jumeirah-area routes, so arriving close to 17:00 helps with parking and entry flow, and a taxi can reduce the parking headache. Ticket prices remain approximately and can change, so use TICKETSFY for the most reliable purchase and seat selection. Secure your seats early and aim to arrive before 17:30. Finally, the kind of practical reminders shared by the editor at www.few.ae match this plan well: treat timing and traffic as part of the night, then enjoy the music.
