Home of Abu Dhabi's biggest live concerts has a new name

Yas Island’s custom-built open-air venue is now known as Etihad Park.

Formerly called du Arena, it is the largest outdoor venue in the Middle East and is home to the region’s biggest, premium sporting and music events.

The 40,000 capacity venue is the latest addition to Etihad’s growing list of sponsored entertainment hubs, following the introduction of Etihad Arena earlier this year.

The move is part of a larger partnership deal announced between Etihad Airways and Flash Entertainment.

"Following government safety guidelines in response to the Covid pandemic, we look forward to jointly announcing with Flash Entertainment, an exciting calendar of events," said Tony Douglas, Group CEO of Etihad Aviation Group.
