Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena to welcome back fans with live event on November 20

Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena will resume hosting live events from November 20, 2020, with new social distancing and hygiene procedures in place.

Coca-Cola Arena is now set to welcome back fans for the first time since February this year as OJ Lifestyle presents their Dark Knights Edition 1.0 event. It initially opened its doors in June last year, with artists such as Russell Peters and Maroon 5.

“We are very pleased to be able to provide live entertainment to the community of Dubai again, and we are excited to welcome the OJ Lifestyle team to Coca-Cola Arena on November 20th,” said Guy Ngata, CEO of Coca-Cola Arena.

“There has been a tremendous amount of work implemented across many sectors in Dubai to get to this point, and we are pleased to now open our doors again with the safety of our guests of the utmost importance.”

Coca-Cola Arena’s new protocols and procedures have been developed in collaboration with Dubai Municipality, UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM), international safety guidelines as well as the Arena’s management company, ASM Global.

Coca Cola Arena will deploy VenueShield, an environmental hygiene protocol that has been implemented across all of ASM Global’s venues around the world.

“It’s critical that we assure people they are attending a safe environment allowing fans and artists to enjoy an amazing live experience, which we are confident will be the case,” Ngata continued.

Coca-Cola Arena urges fans to only attend a live event if they feel well. “It is important that fans are vigilant of their own surroundings and responsible in relation to their own well-being and that of others, in line with the consistent messaging communicated by the government of Dubai over the past months,” Ngata added.

Coca-Cola Arena has implemented a multi-layered approach to safeguard fans attending live events. Its VenueShield protocol includes:

· Enhanced cleaning procedures.

· Social distancing in place across queuing, seating and concourse areas.

· Disinfectant fogging machines used across the Arena.

· Thermal cameras installed across all Arena entrances.

· Visitors with a temperature over 37.2c will not be permitted entry.

· Hand sanitizer dispenses are installed around the Arena.

Tickets for the November 20 show are on sale at the Arena’s website.
