Atlantis New Year’s Eve Gala 2027 (Katy Perry): Tickets, Prices & Packages

Atlantis New Year gala tickets for the Under The Stars Gala Dinner on Thursday 31 December 2026 are on sale now, with Katy Perry headlining live on stage and prices starting at AED 8,500 per person for Premium Seating. The black-tie gala runs from 6pm, with Champagne and canapés on arrival, a lavish buffet, a 30-piece live band, Katy Perry’s headline set and a midnight fireworks display stretching from Atlantis, The Palm to Atlantis The Royal. This guide covers the full price list — Premium, Rouge Circle, Golden Circle and the VIP Sky Suites — what’s included in each tier, how to book through Platinumlist, the dress code, the child policy and how to get to the Palm on New Year’s Eve. One naming note first: Atlantis calls this “New Year’s Eve 2026” on its own page, but the night of 31 December 2026 is the countdown into 2027 — and Friday 1 January 2027 is a UAE public holiday.

Atlantis New Year’s Eve Gala 2027 at a Glance

Atlantis New Year Gala Tickets: Prices & Packages

Atlantis New Year gala tickets are priced per person, and every tier is sold as a “starting from” rate — the price you see at checkout is the price for your seat. All three main tiers include the same core evening: Champagne and canapés on arrival, the full gala dinner buffet, the live entertainment and Katy Perry’s performance, and the midnight fireworks. What changes between tiers is where you sit and how premium the drinks and service are. Prices below were verified live against Atlantis’s own page and the official press announcement on 9 November 2026, and they match the rates announced on 24 September 2026 — no price has changed since launch. Atlantis’s page does not say whether VAT, service charge or booking fees are included in these figures, so check the final total at checkout before you pay.

For a family of two adults and two children aged 4–13, that works out at AED 30,000 in Premium Seating, AED 36,000 in Rouge Circle and AED 46,000 in Golden Circle — before any booking fees. There is no separate “fireworks only” ticket and no standing ticket: the gala is the only way into Atlantis for the midnight show.

Premium vs Rouge Circle vs Golden Circle: Which Tier Is Worth It?

Premium Seating (AED 8,500) is the entry tier and the best value if you mainly want the night itself — the buffet, the band, Katy Perry and the fireworks. You get Champagne and canapés on arrival and full access to the gala dinner buffet, with lobster, caviar, sushi and live cooking stations. Your seat is further from the stage than the other tiers, but you are still inside the gala, not watching from a distance.

Rouge Circle (AED 10,500) costs AED 2,000 more per adult and buys one thing: position. Rouge Circle seats are steps from the stage, so you get a close, clear view of Katy Perry’s set and the live performances without needing to leave your table. The food and drink inclusions are the same as Premium. Pick Rouge Circle if seeing the performance up close matters more to you than the premium drinks upgrade.

Golden Circle (AED 14,500) is the front-of-stage tier. You get private prime seating directly in front of the stage, unlimited premium Champagne, a caviar box with personalised truffle service, and upgraded premium wines and spirits. It is the only tier where the drinks are genuinely unlimited and premium throughout the night. Note the child price here: Golden Circle charges AED 8,500 for children aged 0–13, with no free under-3 band — so a baby in Golden Circle costs the same as a child ticket. Pick Golden Circle if you want the best seat and the best drinks and are happy to pay roughly 70% more than Premium for them.

VIP Sky Suites: Aurora and Celestial

For groups, the VIP Sky Suites are the top of the range. The Aurora Sky Suite costs AED 250,000 and the Celestial Sky Suite AED 400,000, each for up to 10 guests — that is AED 25,000 to AED 40,000 per person at full occupancy. Both suites come with uninterrupted stage and fireworks views, priority access, a dedicated private butler, a world-class sharing-style menu from the resort’s signature restaurants, full access to the gala buffet and a premium Champagne selection. Sky Suites are not sold through the standard Platinumlist ticket page: to book one, call Atlantis on +971 50 485 8805.

What’s Included in Your Atlantis Gala Ticket?

Every Atlantis New Year gala ticket — Premium, Rouge Circle or Golden Circle — includes the same core experience, as stated on Atlantis’s own page:

• Champagne and canapés on arrival, followed by roaming entertainment as the evening begins.
• The lavish gala dinner buffet — lobster, caviar, sushi, live cooking stations, desserts and petit fours.
• Live entertainment all evening, including a 30-piece live band and theatrical performances.
• Katy Perry’s headline performance, live on the outdoor stage.
• The midnight fireworks display across Atlantis Dubai and The Palm.

Golden Circle adds unlimited premium Champagne, a caviar box with personalised truffle service and upgraded premium wines and spirits. The VIP Sky Suites add a private butler, a sharing-style menu from Atlantis’s signature restaurants and priority access. What is not included: your hotel stay. If you are staying at Atlantis, The Palm or Atlantis The Royal over New Year’s Eve, the gala is booked on top of your room — and you must choose the gala or a restaurant experience for the night, not both.

Katy Perry Dubai New Year Eve: What to Expect from the Headline Show

Katy Perry headlines the Atlantis New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner on 31 December 2026, performing live on the outdoor stage with a setlist of her chart-topping hits and fan favourites. It is a return to Atlantis for Perry — she performed at the invitation-only Dubai Airshow Gala Dinner there in November 2015. Atlantis has form for global pop headliners: Lionel Richie headlined the countdown into 2025, Maroon 5 the countdown into 2026.

What is not yet announced: the exact time Katy Perry takes the stage, and how long her set runs. Atlantis has not published a running order, and neither has the ticket page. The same goes for the gala’s end time — the Platinumlist event listing shows the evening running until 1:00am, but treat that as expected, not confirmed, until Atlantis publishes it. The one time that is fixed is midnight: the fireworks go off at 12:00am as 2027 begins. Our New Year’s Eve Dubai 2027 guide covers the rest of the night across the city — the Burj Khalifa fireworks, free viewing spots and the other ticketed events — if you are weighing Atlantis against the Downtown celebrations.

How to Book Atlantis New Year Gala Tickets

Atlantis sells gala tickets through Platinumlist, linked from its own New Year’s Eve page. Book only through that official channel — Atlantis tickets are issued as a dynamic QR code through the Platinumlist app, and tickets bought from resellers are not accepted. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Atlantis’s New Year’s Eve page. Open atlantis.com and find the New Year’s Eve page, then follow the booking link to the Platinumlist event page for the Under The Stars Gala Dinner featuring Katy Perry.
2. Choose your tier. Pick Premium Seating, Rouge Circle or Golden Circle, and select the number of adults (14+) and children (4–13). Remember Golden Circle charges AED 8,500 for ages 0–13 with no free under-3 band.
3. Check the total before you pay. Prices are shown as “starting from”, and Atlantis does not state whether VAT, service charge or booking fees are included — confirm the final amount on the checkout page.
4. Pay and save your QR code. Your ticket is issued as a dynamic QR code in the Platinumlist app. Keep the app on the phone you will bring on the night, and screenshot nothing as a substitute — only the live QR code is accepted at the door.
5. For a Sky Suite, call instead. Aurora (AED 250,000) and Celestial (AED 400,000) suites are booked by phone on +971 50 485 8805, not through the ticket page.
6. Check your ticket’s printed time. Press reports put the start at 6:00pm, but the ticket listing shows doors at 7:00pm. Go by the time printed on your own ticket, and aim to arrive early either way — the Palm is at its busiest on New Year’s Eve.

Before you pay: Atlantis publishes no refund or transfer policy for gala tickets on its New Year’s Eve page, so read the terms on the Platinumlist checkout page carefully. High-end New Year’s Eve galas in Dubai are typically non-refundable, but do not assume — confirm the policy in writing when you book.

Atlantis Fireworks New Year Eve: The Midnight Display

Yes — there is a midnight fireworks display at Atlantis on New Year’s Eve. Atlantis promises “an unforgettable fireworks show across Atlantis Dubai and The Palm” at midnight, with the display stretching from Atlantis, The Palm to Atlantis The Royal. It is one of Dubai’s biggest New Year’s Eve fireworks shows, and it is the finale of the gala evening.

Can you watch the Atlantis fireworks without a gala ticket? The display is visible from public spots around Palm Jumeirah — the JBR beachfront, the Palm’s public areas and the water around the crescent — but the best vantage points, including anywhere inside the resort, are for gala and hotel guests only. There is no official public viewing area announced for the Atlantis display, and no ticket that covers the fireworks alone. If the fireworks are the main draw and the AED 8,500 gala price is too steep, the free viewing areas around Downtown for the Burj Khalifa display are the better plan — our New Year’s Eve Dubai 2027 guide lists them. Atlantis has not published a duration for its fireworks show, so do not plan around a specific length.

Getting to Atlantis, The Palm on New Year’s Eve

Atlantis, The Palm sits on Crescent Road at the far end of Palm Jumeirah, and New Year’s Eve is the hardest night of the year to reach it. Plan your transport before the night, not on it:

• Taxi or Careem: the simplest option, but expect surge pricing and long waits after midnight, when thousands of guests leave at once. Book your return ride in advance if you can, or agree a pickup time with your driver.
• Palm Monorail: the monorail runs the length of the Palm to Atlantis Aquaventure station, right by the resort. No special New Year’s Eve timetable has been announced yet — check the monorail hours closer to 31 December.
• Driving: expect heavy traffic and controlled access on Palm Jumeirah on the night, with road controls around the crescent. No official road-closure plan for 31 December 2026 has been published yet, so check again in the final week.
• Staying at Atlantis: if you are a hotel guest, you are already there — but remember you must choose the gala or a restaurant experience for the night, and the gala is booked on top of your room.

Arrive early. The gala festivities begin at 6:00pm, and the Palm’s roads fill up well before then. If your ticket shows a 7:00pm door time, treat 6:00pm as your arrival target anyway — being early on the Palm beats being stuck in traffic while Katy Perry takes the stage.

Dress Code, Children & Tips for the Night

Dress code: the gala is glamorous. Atlantis asks ladies to wear an elegant evening dress or gown, and gentlemen to wear a long-sleeved collared shirt with long trousers or smart jeans and closed shoes. UAE national dress is also welcome. Press coverage describes the night as black-tie, so dress for a formal evening, not a beach dinner — and wear shoes you can stand in for hours, as this is an outdoor, open-air event.

Children: children of all ages are welcome at the gala, per Atlantis’s own page. Under-3s are free in Premium Seating and Rouge Circle, and pay AED 8,500 in Golden Circle. Remember the night runs late — past midnight — and it is an outdoor evening in late December, when Dubai nights are cool. Bring a layer for children, and for yourself.

Weather: late-December evenings in Dubai are typically around 20–24°C, cool enough for a jacket or shawl outdoors. The gala is open-air, so check the forecast on the day and dress accordingly.

Money tips: the AED 8,500 starting price is per person, not per table, and the Sky Suites are per suite for up to 10 guests. Book early — the gala has been on sale through Platinumlist since late September, and the closer tiers and suites go first. Always confirm the final checkout total, including any fees, before you pay.
