Upon a purpose-built floating stage set on the waters surrounding the Louvre Abu Dhabi, world-renowned DJ and producer David Guetta pre-recorded a show that will stream for fans on New Year’s Eve. An extension of Guetta’s highly successful United at Home initiative — which was kicked off to beat boredom at the onset of the lockdown in 2020, but emerged to become a fund-generating machine that aided several during the pandemic — this year’s event will mark the fifth in the series after previously travelling to Miami and Paris. “This was something that I started because I was bored [during the lockdown]. I wanted to play music, and create stuff that would help people pass time. I didn’t expect [the project] to collect so much money, and never imagined that it would become so big,” says Guetta in an exclusive interview to mid-day. “It goes to show that not everything needs to be done with a big plan in mind. Look at me! I’m in Abu Dhabi, and it’s magical. I’ve seen pictures of [the Louvre] before, but being here is incredible. We recorded the show last night and the production is unbelievable.”
Accustomed as they are to feeding off the audience’s energy, Guetta admits that live-show performers like him must bank on imagination when replicating the ambience of a show, sans an enthusiastic crowd. He was fortunate to have been hosted at places with “magical sights”, which, he says, “lent a different kind of energy”. “It may not be the same as playing before a crowd, but it is inspiring.”
