Fairuz: A Tribute to the Voices of Generations 2026

Fairuz: A Tribute to the Voices of Generations fills the Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) in Dubai with the songs of the Arab world’s most beloved voice on Friday 27 November 2026. Lebanese singer Rita Mikhael and her band perform the music of Fairuz live, surrounded by TODA’s 360° visuals, in an Arabic language evening built for nostalgia.

Rita Mikhael and her band

Rita Mikhael is one of TODA’s bestselling artists, and this tribute puts her voice at the centre of an evening devoted entirely to Fairuz. Backed by her own band, she performs the songs that have accompanied listeners across the Arab world for generations, the kind of melodies many families still play at home in the morning.

A story told chapter by chapter

What makes this more than a covers concert is the narrative thread. The evening is guided through the chapters of Fairuz’s life and career, with the story behind each song shared as the music unfolds. Rather than a string of hits, you get context: how each piece fits into the journey of the singer who became, in the organisers’ words, the voice of the Arab world.

The programme highlights include:

• Live performances of Fairuz’s most beloved songs
• Storytelling that connects each song to a moment in her career
• Immersive projections that wrap around the audience on every wall

The result is billed as a night of nostalgia, beauty and deep connection, and it is easy to see why the format suits Fairuz in particular. Her songs are tied to memories for so many listeners in Lebanon and across the region that hearing them alongside the story of her life turns the concert into something closer to a shared family album.

Inside TODA’s 360° room

TODA is an immersive venue where visuals are projected all around you, so the setting changes with the music, and the band performs inside that projected world rather than in front of a conventional stage backdrop. It sits within the Madinat Jumeirah complex near Souk Madinat Jumeirah. Doors open at 7:30pm and the concert begins at 8pm, with the listing showing a finish around 9pm. The age limit is 13+, which makes it a good option for families with teenagers who have grown up hearing Fairuz at home. You can see other shows at the venue on our Theatre of Digital Art page.

To get there by car, take Sheikh Zayed Road to interchange 5, join Umm Suqeim Road and follow signs for Souk Madinat Jumeirah, where parking is available nearby. By Metro, the closest station is Mall of the Emirates, with a short taxi ride to the souk entrance. If plans change, the listing allows you to exchange your ticket with another fan.

Who will love this evening

This tribute is made for anyone who grew up with Fairuz playing in the background, from Lebanese families in Dubai to listeners across the Gulf and the wider Arab world. It is also a thoughtful introduction for newer fans who know a handful of songs and want to understand the life behind them. The performance is in Arabic, so non-Arabic speakers will enjoy the music and visuals, though the storytelling will mean most to those who follow the language.

A Friday evening at Madinat Jumeirah also makes it easy to pair with dinner by the waterways before or after the show. If you enjoy this format, TODA also hosts Echoes of Japan on 11 December, which applies the same 360° approach to traditional Japanese instruments.
