American hitmakers Boyz II Men are coming to Abu Dhabi

The American R&B group will perform on 25 January as part of the Saadiyat Nights concert series.

Abu Dhabi, we have some sweet news. The American hitmakers Boyz II Men are coming to the city. The group are scheduled to perform at Saadiyat Nights on Saturday, 25 January 2025, and here’s how you can hear those beautiful ballads.

Hailing from Philadelphia, United States, Boyz II Men were originally called Unique Attraction. After forming in 1985, they were inspired by New Edition. The members include Nathan Morris, Michael McCary, Shawn Stockman, and Wayne Morris. In a bid to get a record deal, they sang acapella to New Edition’s Michael Bivins.

In 1991, they released their first album Cooleyhighharmony on Motown Records. The group showed off their signature sound, which included new jack swing and layered harmonies. They quickly became famous for their ballads and complex acapella arrangements.

Boyz II Men’s hit songs include End of The Road, It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye to Yesterday, and Motownphilly. The group have collaborated with famous faces, from Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, but it was their duet with Mariah Carey that hit the big time. One Sweet Day spent sixteen weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Over their three-decade career, they have won four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Saadiyat Nights is an open-air musical event that takes place on Saadiyat Island. Last year, the series welcomed performances from Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Googoosh, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Tom Jones and Sting. 

If you love live music, there are plenty of cool concerts coming to Abu Dhabi. Backstreet Boys will perform at Etihad Arena on 23 October, British boyband Take That will stage a show at Etihad Park on 25 October, SZA and 21 Savage will headline Wireless Festival Middle East on 23 November, Eminem will showcase his rapping skills at the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 7 December, and Coldplay will take to the stage at Zayed Sports City Stadium on 11 January 2025.
