Great news for Dubaiites and Gulf dwellers: Sir Elton John and Selena Gomez have both just announced they plan to perform in the UAE later this year.

The Rocket Man himself plans to perform on the Autism Rocks Arena stage on December 15, while Gomez intends to Kill 'Em With Kindness at the same venue on November 19.

The concerts are part of 117Live's autumn season, which will also feature a performance at the arena, by former One Direction member Zayn Malik on October 7.

Other acts slotted to perform at the Autism Rocks Arena include electronic superstars Major Lazer, the Mariachis, DJ Hollaphonic and UK girlband All Saints (see image below) as part of brand new annual Halloween-themed festival Fiesta De Los Muertos on October 28.

UK girl band All Saints were famous in the 1990s

Apparently there's another big name set to be added to the bill, but you'll have to wait a bit longer until we find out who that is.

Former Disney star Gomez is due to stop off in the UAE as part of her world tour 'Revival', where Gulf fans can enjoy hits such as Hands To Myself, Same Old Love and Come & Get It.

Sir Elton will grace Dubai with his Wonderful Crazy Night world tour where fans will hope to swoon to the timeless tunes Your Song, I'm Still Standing, Tiny Dancer and Bennie & The Jets.
