When Billie Jean comes on, can you resist a moonwalk? This Is Michael returns to Etihad Arena on Saturday, 30 January 2027, following its sold-out Abu Dhabi debut in August. If you caught the show last time, you’ll know what a night of MJ hits looks like on a big stage. For those of you who missed out in August, you now have another chance to catch the show live.

The show stars Lenny Jay, whose vocals, dance moves, and resemblance to Michael Jackson have helped make this tribute a hit with audiences around the world. He’s joined by an international cast of dancers, singers and live musicians for a two-hour production featuring more than 20 songs and multiple costume changes.

You’ll hear all the MJ classics, including Billie Jean, Beat It, Thriller, and Man in the Mirror. With a live band, dancers, costume changes, and those signature moves, it’s two hours of music that’ll be hard to sit still through.
