Charlie Puth is coming to Abu Dhabi.

The singer-songwriter will perform in the capital for the first time as he brings his Charlie Live Experience to Etihad Arena on October 1. Tickets will be available on Friday at noon.

Puth has released three studio albums and four EPs, and is known for his hits such as We Don’t Talk Anymore, One Call Away and See You Again. His last album, Charlie, was released in October 2022 and made its debut at number 10 in the Billboard 200 chart. It features tracks such as Light Switch, Left and Right with Jungkook of BTS and That's Hilarious.

At 18, Puth started his own YouTube channel called Charlie Vlogs, where he posted comedy videos and acoustic covers. He rose to fame after winning an online competition, where he performed a version of Adele's Someone Like You with Emily Luther. In 2015, he found more mainstream success after writing and performing the track See You Again with Wiz Khalifa, a tribute to Paul Walker for the Furious 7 soundtrack.

The song was nominated for three Grammy Awards: Song of the Year, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media. It was also shortlisted as the Song of the Year for the BBC Music Awards. His second album, Voicenotes, garnered more than 2.7 billion streams.

Other events coming to Abu Dhabi

A number of shows have been announced for Etihad Arena in the next few months, including US comedian Bill Burr on September 1, British star Robbie Williams on October 18 and K-pop boy band Enhypen on November 11.

Considered one of the most influential comedic voices of his generation, Burr has made a name for himself for his informal, honest and punchy style of storytelling.

Williams is known for chart-topping hits such as Candy, Angels, She's the One and Rock DJ and has a career that has spanned more than two decades.

Enhypen will come to the capital as part of Hyperound K-Fest, an event featuring artists from South Korea.

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
