We should be so lucky to get tickets for this…

If you’ve been wondering who the Dubai Rugby Sevens headliner will be this year and just can’t get it out of your head, we’re here (especially) for you! Australian-British pop sensation, Kylie Minogue, has been confirmed as the headline performer on Friday December 6 at the Sevens Stadium.

The Grammy Award winning artist will have fans Spinning Around from 9.30pm after the second day of the world-famous tournament. Tickets for the event on Friday December 6 will cost Dhs400 or Dhs500 for the whole weekend. Expect to hear some of her biggest hits from the last 30 years, such as Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, On A Night Like This and Love At First Sight.

In a video, Kylie Minogue said: “I’m so excited to be coming back to the UAE for a very special performance at the 50th Dubai Rugby Sevens which is on December 6, so Dubai get ready, we’re going to party.”

Dubai Rugby Sevens 2019 will be the 50th edition of the tournament and promises to be ‘bigger and better and full of celebratory events’. The family-friendly event is arguably the most highly anticipated social event in the Dubai calendar with plenty to keep you entertained, from food, music, prizes and of course fancy dress..

Gary Chapman, President Group Services and dnata, Emirates Group, said: “As the longest running sports event in the Middle East, we want all our fans to celebrate our 50 year milestone in style. The Dubai Rugby Sevens is the biggest party of the year and Kylie Minogue is one of Billboard’s top dance artists of all time with 80 million albums sold. We couldn’t think of a better entertainer to get the party going as we celebrate 50 years of this fantastic event!”

For many people this is the highlight Dubai’s social calendar and people are just there to have a good time, whether they like rugby or not, so you’ll be forgiven if you’re just there for Kylie…
