G-Dragon Turns Dubai Into a 20,000-Voice Sing-Along With His First-Ever Middle East Stage

A historic first for G-Dragon in the Middle East

G-Dragon has successfully completed his first official performance in the Middle East, marking a major expansion of his global touring footprint.

The artist headlined the KRAZY SUPER CONCERT at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre, where an audience of around 20,000 fans filled the venue and transformed the night into one of the loudest mass sing-along moments of his career.

More than just another overseas schedule, the concert signaled K-pop’s continued growth in a region that is rapidly becoming a key stop for global touring acts.

A hit-filled set that crossed language barriers

Opening with “INTRO,” G-Dragon immediately took control of the stage before launching into “POWER,” setting the tone for a performance built on energy and crowd interaction.

The setlist moved through his signature tracks including:

• “HOME SWEET HOME (feat. TAEYANG, DAESUNG)”
• “Crayon”
• “TOO BAD (feat. Anderson .Paak)”
• “Crooked”

During “Crooked,” fans from diverse nationalities sang along in Korean, creating one of the night’s defining moments and demonstrating the scale of his global fandom.

Throughout the show, G-Dragon maintained tight stage movement, direct communication with the audience, and the commanding presence expected from a headliner.

Fashion as storytelling on a global stage

His styling for the Dubai performance carried a deliberate narrative.

A brick-red tailored jacket paired with a pink inner layer and wide black trousers reflected the tones of the desert landscape, visually connecting the performance to its location.

The look reinforced his reputation as a global fashion icon who uses clothing not just as styling, but as a conceptual extension of the stage.

Global media spotlight on the Dubai performance

Major international outlets highlighted the significance of the concert.

Billboard focused on his role as the event’s headliner in its coverage of the concert’s global expansion, while Forbes framed the performance as an example of K-pop’s growing influence in new markets.

Leading UAE publications including Gulf News, Time Out Dubai, Khaleej Times, and The National also featured the show as a major cultural event, underscoring the level of local interest in his debut Middle East stage.

Awards, fan meetings, and a continuing global run

The Dubai concert follows a string of major milestones.

G-Dragon recently won Best Song for “TOO BAD” and was named Artist of the Year at the Hanteo Music Awards, a result based on real-time global consumption data.

He has also been meeting fans across Asia through his FAM fan meeting tour, with stops in Seoul, Yokohama, and upcoming shows in Bangkok.

A new touring map for a global K-pop icon

By adding the Middle East to his performance history, G-Dragon has extended his activity beyond the traditional North America–Europe touring circuit.

The Dubai show was not just a successful concert. It was a clear signal that his global reach continues to grow, both culturally and commercially, across new regions.
