Rock legend Bryan Adams is heading to the UAE this February — and while he's set to perform live in Abu Dhabi, fans in Dubai will have a rare chance to meet him up close before he takes the stage.
Ahead of his highly anticipated Saadiyat Nights concert, Adams will be in Dubai for an exclusive book-signing event celebrating the launch of his photography book, #SHOTBYADAMS.
Meet Bryan Adams in Dubai at JD Malat Gallery
The singer-songwriter will appear at JD Malat Gallery on Monday, February 9, 2026, from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, where he will personally sign copies of his book and meet fans.
This is a strictly limited opportunity. Only 100 copies of _#SHOTBYADAMS_ will be available, so fans are encouraged to arrive early. The book can be purchased on the day or pre-ordered via jdmalat.com.
What Is #SHOTBYADAMS?
More than just a music icon, Bryan Adams is also an accomplished photographer. _#SHOTBYADAMS_ features nearly 200 portraits captured over the past decade, spanning the worlds of music, fashion, film, and global culture.
The collection includes striking images of notable figures such as Queen Elizabeth II, Amy Winehouse, Rod Stewart, Naomi Campbell, Cher, and the Dalai Lama, offering an intimate look through Adams' own lens.
Visitors to the gallery can also explore Adams' photography exhibition during the event.
