Dubai Airports is preparing to host what promises to be one of the most memorable evenings in aviation history as the Dubai Airshow 2025 concludes with a lavish gala dinner on 20 November. Held at Atlantis The Palm, the event will gather 3,300 VIP guests from around the world to celebrate the innovation, partnerships, and human stories driving the next chapter of aviation.
In line with the Dubai Airshow’s central theme, “The Future Is Here,” the gala will feature a powerful blend of entertainment, immersive storytelling, and interactive experiences. The highlight of the evening will be performances by genre-blending sensation Teddy Swims and Grammy-winning DJ and producer Mark Ronson.
Teddy Swims, known for his soulful fusion of country, pop, and R&B, is expected to perform chart-topping hits like “Lose Control” and “The Door.” Mark Ronson, a global music icon famous for his collaborations with artists such as Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga, will bring the night to a close with an exclusive after-party DJ set.
Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, described the gala as “a celebration of the human dimension behind aviation’s momentum.” He emphasized the gala’s role in spotlighting the people and partnerships that define the future of flight, stating, “The Dubai Airshow is where the aviation world doesn’t just gather, it lifts off.”
Previous editions of the gala have featured global stars including Maroon 5, OneRepublic, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Lopez, establishing the event as a highlight not just of the airshow, but of the international aviation calendar.
This year, guests will walk a red carpet transformed into an interactive pre-show space, offering multisensory moments that reflect the theme of progress and creativity. Once inside, they will be greeted by HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Airports, before enjoying a high-end dining experience accompanied by state-of-the-art visual installations.
From cutting-edge displays to curated culinary experiences, the gala is designed to engage and inspire attendees. More than a celebration, it stands as a symbol of Dubai’s commitment to shaping the global conversation around aviation, technology, and cultural connection.
As Dubai continues to position itself at the heart of aviation’s future, the 2025 Dubai Airshow Gala Dinner will not only mark the end of an event—it will launch a new vision of what aviation can mean in a connected, creative world.
