The UAE is set for a night of pure nostalgia and precision production. On Friday, 28 November 2025, Timbaland will headline Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai with a show built around the tracks that have shaped modern hip-hop. The Virginia native is the studio mind behind era-defining singles for Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliott, and Nelly Furtado. He has been credited with more top ten hits than Elvis Presley and the Beatles, has been called the “Emperor of Sound,” and ranks at number three on Billboard’s list of the 50 Greatest Producers of the 21st Century. Throughout his storied career, he has earned 18 Grammy nominations, four Grammy wins, and more than 200 ASCAP Music Awards.
Expect a setlist stacked with the moments that moved the charts. Think Aaliyah’s “Try Again,” Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin” and “Dirt Off Your Shoulder,” Justin Timberlake’s “Sexy Back,” Missy Elliott anthems “Work It” and “Get Ur Freak On,” Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater,” and OneRepublic’s “Apologize.” There will be room for his own club-ready cuts too, including “The Way I Are” and “Give It to Me.” The production is primed for a full-scale arena treatment, pairing visuals with the syncopated drums that define his sound.
Adding to the occasion, Timbaland’s son Demetrius will join the line-up to DJ and perform, creating a multi-generational moment on the same stage. A special guest is also set to be announced, bringing extra star power to an already stacked bill.
Bronze Zone tickets have sold out, with other categories still available but moving quickly. Current prices to see Timbaland live in Dubai range from AED 295 to AED 2,500. If you want to relive a golden run of radio staples, this is the one to lock in.
