If atmospheric dream-pop and intimate live performances are your kind of night out, there is a new concert to add to your Abu Dhabi events calendar.
Ghostly Kisses will perform live at Etihad Arena on November 29, 2026, bringing the French-Canadian musical project to Abu Dhabi as part of its MENA Tour 2026. The show will be led by singer-songwriter Margaux Sauvé, whose delicate vocals and cinematic sound have earned Ghostly Kisses an international following.
With the concert taking place at Yas Bay, this could be an atmospheric addition to Abu Dhabi’s packed November entertainment calendar.
When is Ghostly Kisses performing in Abu Dhabi?
The Ghostly Kisses Abu Dhabi concert takes place on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at Etihad Arena in Yas Bay.
According to Ticketmaster, doors open at 7pm, with the concert scheduled to begin at 8pm. The event is listed as a reserved-seating show.
The performance forms part of Ghostly Kisses’ MENA Tour 2026, marking the project’s Abu Dhabi appearance during its regional tour.
Who are Ghostly Kisses?
Ghostly Kisses is the musical project of Canadian singer-songwriter Margaux Sauvé.
Born and raised in Quebec City, Sauvé began playing violin at a young age before developing her own songwriting style. Her music brings together soft vocals, intimate lyrics and atmospheric production, creating a sound that sits somewhere between dream-pop, electronic music and cinematic indie.
The project’s name itself has an appropriately mysterious origin. It was inspired by a line from William Faulkner’s poem Une ballade des dames perdues, reflecting the romantic and otherworldly quality of Sauvé’s music.
What can you expect from the Abu Dhabi concert?
Ghostly Kisses’ music is built around atmosphere rather than simply volume.
Songs such as “Heartbeat” and “The City Holds My Heart” showcase Sauvé’s soft vocal delivery alongside layered electronic textures and emotional melodies.
The project has also performed at major festivals including the International Festival of Jazz of Montreal and Festival d’Été de Québec, while Sauvé has shared stages with artists including RY X and Charlotte Cardin.
That combination of intimate songwriting and expansive production is likely to translate particularly well to a concert setting.

Where is the Ghostly Kisses concert?
The show takes place at Etihad Arena, Yas Bay, Abu Dhabi, one of the UAE capital’s major live entertainment venues.
The arena sits on Yas Island’s waterfront, making it easy to turn the concert into a longer evening out. You could arrive early for dinner around Yas Bay, explore the waterfront and then head into the arena for the show.
Etihad Arena’s official event calendar confirms Ghostly Kisses for November 29.
What should you know before going?
The concert is listed as all ages, although Ticketmaster states that anyone aged 16 or under must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or over.
Ticketmaster also lists several venue conditions, including no re-entry and restrictions on large bags. Photography and videography are not permitted during the performance.
As always, check the latest venue rules before attending, particularly if you are travelling to Yas Island specifically for the concert.
Make a night of it at Yas Bay
One of the easiest ways to make the most of the Ghostly Kisses Abu Dhabi concert is to treat it as an evening rather than simply a gig.
Yas Bay has restaurants, waterfront views and entertainment options, giving concertgoers plenty to do before or after the performance.
Since the show begins at 8pm, an early dinner followed by a stroll around the waterfront could make for a relaxed pre-concert plan.
For fans travelling from Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE, the concert can also become part of a full Yas Island day out.
Add Ghostly Kisses to your November calendar
November is already shaping up to be a busy month for concerts and entertainment in Abu Dhabi, and Ghostly Kisses brings something distinctly different to the city’s live music calendar.
Rather than a conventional arena-rock or pop spectacle, the November 29 performance promises an evening centred around dreamy vocals, atmospheric electronics and intimate songwriting.
