By Felo News Desk · Published
Dubai and Abu Dhabi are set for a busy entertainment weekend, with performances by the boy‑band Blue, comedian Russell Peters, Russian pop star Valery Meladze and jazz singer‑pianist Bobby Valchev, according to Gulf News.
What happened
On Friday, 23 October, Bobby Valchev will open at the Theatre of Digital Art (ToDA) in Dubai. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the show begins at 8:00 PM; tickets start from Dh180. The following day, 24 October, no events are listed in the source. On Sunday, 25 October, two major acts perform. Valery Meladze’s world‑tour concert is scheduled at The Agenda in Dubai, with doors at 6:00 PM, the show at 8:00 PM and tickets from Dh400. Russell Peters’ one‑night‑only comedy show will take place at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi; doors open at 6:30 PM and tickets start at Dh275. Later that evening, the reunited British pop group Blue will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a live concert, also on 25 October, though the venue and ticket price are not specified in the excerpt.
What the reports add
Gulf News notes that Bobby Valchev will perform a romantic jazz set featuring standards such as “The Way You Look Tonight” and “My Funny Valentine.” Valery Meladze’s show is described as a high‑tech light‑show production that mixes classic hits with new songs after a sold‑out 2025 anniversary tour. Russell Peters is highlighted as the first comedian to sell out venues like Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Arena, with his routine expected to include crowd‑work about finance and culture. The article also recalls Blue’s career milestones – three consecutive UK number‑one albums, 11 Top‑10 singles and two BRIT Awards – and urges fans to dust off frosted‑tip hairstyles for the concert.
