The venue address is The Agenda, Al Jaddi Street, Dubai Media City, also listed at Dubai Media City, 1 Abdullah Omran Taryam Street. For venue support, especially Lost and Found or security help, call +971 (0)4 580 9159, and for ticket inquiries you can also use +971 (0)52 887 8276. Doors are scheduled for 18:00, the show starts at 19:00, and tickets start from approximately AED 200.
Even by Dubai standards, this one carries a special kind of pull for fans who grew up with her songs and for newcomers curious about Uzbek pop’s biggest voice. You can expect a full-scale indoor production, so the sound and lighting should feel polished rather than improvised. Also, because it lands on a Thursday night, the crowd mix typically includes after-work groups and visitors coming in from other Emirates. Arrive early if you want time to settle in before the first song hits.
A Thursday night built for big singalongs
If you want a smooth flow, build your evening around three simple timing choices. First, if you drive, aim to reach Dubai Media City well before 18:00, because traffic often thickens as people leave offices. Meanwhile, if you take the Metro, you can step off at Dubai Internet City Metro Station and walk to the venue in roughly a few minutes, which can feel calmer than searching for a spot. Finally, if you prefer door-to-seat comfort, take a taxi or ride-hailing and plan a slightly earlier drop-off, since queues tend to grow closer to start time. The easiest night is usually the one that starts early.
A voice that shaped Uzbek pop culture
Yulduz Usmonova’s reputation comes from more than longevity, because she performs with a direct emotional edge that reads clearly even if you do not speak the language. Also, her catalog blends pop with folk colors, so the show can shift from intimate melodies to high-energy moments quickly. As a result, audiences often move between listening quietly and singing along without hesitation. This is the kind of concert where the crowd becomes part of the atmosphere, especially with diaspora fans who treat the night like a reunion. (Suitable for couples, solo, and groups, and often family-friendly depending on age rules set by organizers.)
Ticket choices that match your style
Tickets are listed from approximately AED 200, and higher categories may appear depending on the seating map and remaining inventory. So, if you care most about sound balance, you usually feel happiest in a central view rather than far-side angles. However, if you care more about energy than precision, a more affordable section can still deliver the same crowd excitement, since the room itself is designed for large events. Buy based on how you want to experience the music, not only the price. For the most reliable purchase path, use PLATINUM LIST, and if you need help, the venue also provides a ticket inquiry line at +971 (0)52 887 8276.
Getting to The Agenda without the stress
By car, many drivers approach via Sheikh Zayed Road and then follow exits toward Dubai Media City, yet you should still expect congestion around peak arrival windows. Also, The Agenda notes updated access arrangements and encourages guests to consider alternatives, which matters on a night when multiple venues run events nearby. If you want a predictable arrival, the Metro option often wins, since Dubai Internet City Metro Station sits close enough for a practical walk. If you drive, keep a buffer for finding parking and walking in.
Parking realities in Dubai Media City
Parking rules around Media City can change with regulation updates, and The Agenda has published specific guidance for guests. The venue states the first hour is free, and then parking costs AED 10 per hour from the second hour onward, which can add up if you arrive very early. Meanwhile, it also says it highly recommends taxis or the metro to keep the experience smoother. Parking can feel like the only headache of the night if you leave it too late.
Arriving from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates
If you are coming from Abu Dhabi, try to leave earlier than you think you need, because evening flow into Dubai can tighten quickly near interchanges. Similarly, if you come from Sharjah, Ajman, or Ras Al Khaimah, you may want to avoid the classic rush window and time your arrival closer to doors rather than right before the first song. Also, consider planning your return before you leave home, since post-show traffic can bunch up as crowds disperse at once. (Suitable for visitors doing a same-night round trip, although an overnight stay nearby can feel easier.)
Before and after ideas that fit the area
Dubai Media City sits close to neighborhoods that stay lively late, so you can shape the night around your energy level. For something relaxed, you can keep it simple with a light bite nearby and then head straight in, which reduces rushing. On the other hand, if you want to extend the evening, areas like Dubai Marina and JBR are a short drive away, so you can plan a post-show walk or coffee once the main traffic wave passes. Just remember that leaving immediately at the end can put you in the densest exit flow.
A practical news-style note on weather and last checks
A precise day-by-day forecast for Thursday, 26 March 2026 will become more reliable closer to the date, yet historical March patterns in Dubai usually bring warm days and milder nights, often around high 20s°C by day and around 19–21°C at night, sometimes with a breeze. Still, rare heavy showers have disrupted roads in the UAE before, so it helps to recheck conditions and allow extra travel time if rain appears. Wear light layers, and bring a thin jacket for indoor air-conditioning and the cooler walk back. Also, plan around traffic by arriving before doors at 18:00, and remember the venue’s parking guidance: first hour free, then AED 10 per hour, while the Metro to Dubai Internet City can save time. Ticket and door prices can change, so treat AED 200+ as approximately, and use PLATINUM LIST for the safest purchase route. Book your ticket early if you want the best seats. According to updates shared through the editor of www.few.ae, this is one of the most talked-about diaspora concerts of late March in Dubai.
