Grammy-nominated Edwin McCain brings tour to Dubai for first time

Grammy-nominated American singer-songwriter Edwin McCain will bring his "I'll Be Tour" to Coca-Cola Arena for the first time on April 12.

Best known for timeless hits including I’ll Be and I Could Not Ask for More, McCain has earned a reputation as one of music’s most sincere storytellers and dubbed “the great American romantic” by The New York Times.

His distinctive voice and enduring songs such as Walk With You and Alive have become the soundtrack to countless love stories, weddings and defining moments across generations.

McCain’s major-label breakthrough came in the mid-1990s with Honor Among Thieves, followed by chart-topping singles I’ll Be and I Could Not Ask for More, which made him a Top 40 Radio Star.

In 2025, he released his first full studio album in 15 years, Lucky, co-produced with Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann, blending blues, soul, rock and folk influences into a modern and deeply personal record.

Commenting on his upcoming performance, McCain said, “We’re so excited to bring the I’ll Be Tour to Dubai for the first time. Coca-Cola Arena is truly a bucket-list venue for us, and we can’t wait to share these songs and stories with fans there.”

Joining McCain on the night is Arthur Nery, the Filipino hitmaker whose soulful sound and global success have captured hearts around the world, bringing together two powerful voices for an evening of emotion, melody and memorable live moments.

Fans can register for the exclusive pre-sale starting Friday, January 16 at 10:00 am.
