British musician Sting is set to perform at Atlantis, The Palm’s annual New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner this year.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome Sting as our headline act this year,” says Timothy Kelly, executive vice-president and managing director of Atlantis Dubai.

“We look forward to giving our guests one of the most memorable evenings of their lives as we ring in the new year."

On December 31, 2023 the masquerade ball-themed New Year's Eve Gala Dinner at Atlantis, The Palm, will take place on a custom-built outdoor deck overlooking Palm Jumeirah and the city’s skyline.
