The Clash Singing Contest Grand Final Rescheduled to October 4, 2026; Star-Studded Event at El Kubyertos to Feature Cultural Visionary Albert Santos Gayo

DUBAI, UAE — September 28, 2026 — The official Organizing Committee of The Clash Singing Contest has announced the highly anticipated rescheduling of its blockbuster Grand Final to October 4, 2026. In a profound demonstration of solidarity and deep respect, the prestigious event was gracefully postponed from its original dates to honor the official 10-day period of mourning across the United Arab Emirates following the solemn passing of a prominent Dubai Sheikh.

As the region transitions from this period of national reflection, the city’s most electrifying vocal battle is officially back on track to crown its ultimate musical royalty. Taking center stage under the glittering lights of El Kubyertos—the renowned culinary and entertainment hub located in Salah Al Din, Deira, Dubai—the grand finale promises an unforgettable night of high-octane performances, celebrity-level glamour, and exceptional vocal mastery.

Adding tremendous industry weight and prestige to the grand final, the committee has officially confirmed that award-winning filmmaker, entertainer, cultural creative director, and digital branding strategist Albert Santos Gayo will serve as a distinguished star judge. Fresh off his international triumphs at the UK’s Lift-Off Film Festival, Gayo brings over three decades of media production excellence, performance acumen, and artistic direction to the judging panel. His critical eye and extensive experience as a talent mentor will guide the selection of the evening's ultimate champion.

‘The Clash Singing Contest has captured the heart of Dubai’s creative community, and it is a true honor to help shape the journey of these incredible artists," stated Albert Santos Gayo. "While our postponement reflects a deep, mandatory respect for the traditions and leadership of the UAE, this extra time has only fueled the passion and competitive drive of our grand finalists. We are ready to showcase something truly spectacular on October 4th."

The Organizing Committee extends its deepest appreciation to all grand finalists, sponsors, corporate partners, and supporters for their seamless cooperation and understanding during this solemn transition. Audiences can expect an elevated production layout, a star-studded red carpet experience, and a definitive celebration of vocal artistry that will resonate throughout the regional entertainment landscape.
