Just as fans were getting ready for Mary J. Blige’s highly anticipated return to Dubai, news broke that the concert — originally scheduled for Tuesday, June 24 — has been cancelled.
The performance was set to be a major moment, marking over a decade since the iconic R&B star last took the stage for a full concert in the UAE. While the exact reasons for the cancellation have not been disclosed, the event has quietly been removed from the Coca-Cola Arena’s official calendar.
Although the disappointment is real, there’s still hope that Mary J. Blige will make her way back to Dubai in the near future — hopefully with a new date and new energy for her fans across the region.
Until then, stay tuned for updates — and if you’re looking to fill the gap in your calendar, check out other upcoming events in Dubai happening this June.
