Having set a record with his performance last year, the world’s favourite Dutch violinist and conductor, André Rieu, is all set to return to Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi once more!
Slated for Saturday 18 October 2025, the icon will be accompanied by his renowned 60-piece Johann Strauss Orchestra and international soloists.

Presented by MAC Global and in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, the leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences in Abu Dhabi, Rieu’s return follows the record-breaking success of his 2024 Abu Dhabi performance, which drew 12,000 attendees and set a new record for the largest audience for a classical concert in UAE history.
