It might feel like ages away, but the UAE’s first big New Year’s Eve event has just been announced – and it sounds like it’s going to be epic.

Brought to you by Flash Entertainment and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) a two-day festival will make its way to du Arena on Yas Island over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Promising a line-up of  music, entertainment and activities for the whole family to ring in 2020, ticket prices have not yet been revealed, but pre-registration is now open via this link.

The festival will kick off with Resolution by Night on New Year’s Eve, and is set to bring “an internationally acclaimed, multi-award-winning artist” to du Arena. Although the artist is still yet to be announced, previous du Arena New Year’s Eve headliners have included Katy Perry and Coldplay, so we can’t wait to see who gets announced this year.

Celebrations will then continue with Resolution by Day taking place on Wednesday 1 January 2020 from 2pm to 10pm at du Arena. Set to be a day filled with entertainment and live performances, guests will also be able to take on a range of attractions including a huge 300m-long inflatable castle with over 40 obstacles inside.
