Joining Carey for the special free concert will be Emirati star Hussain Al Jassmi. Tickets for the event have now sold out, but it was announced earlier this week that the concert would be streamed at a number of venues across the UAE including Louvre Abu Dhabi, Sharjah's Al Majaz Waterfront, Ajman Museum, Fujairah Fort, Ras Al Khaimah's Al Qawasim Corniche and the Umm Al Quwain Corniche.
As well as the live broadcast of the Dubai show, there will be entertainment at all six venues from 5pm until 10pm on the day.

At Louvre Abu Dhabi, enjoy live performances from Layla Kardan, Sandra Sahi and Stephon LaMar; the Al Majaz Waterfront is set to feature Clarita de Quiroz, ROOH and Benna Duo and Ajman Museum will see Hydyy Brown, Arqam 'Chakram' Al Abri and Igor 'Bu Oleg' Ivanovic perform.
Expo 2020 Dubai will open on October 20, 2020 and run for six months, finishing on April 10, 2021.
