The Expo 2020 Dubai is on target to hit the 15 million total visit mark later this week after being buoyed by global crowd-pleasers such as Coldplay at Al Wasl Plaza last week.

As of 21st February, total visitation stood at 14,719,277, days after Coldplay’s unforgettable concert on 15th February, part of Expo 2020 Dubai’s Infinite Nights Series.

With less than 40 days to go, scores of people have realized it’s now or never until it’s gone forever, with domestic visits surging 128 percent in the past six weeks.

The international visitation is up 19 percent, primarily thanks to the popularity of the new AED50 ($13.6) Season Finale Pass, according to a press release of the Expo 2020.

Food, Agriculture & Livelihoods Week (17-23 February), the latest of 10 Theme Weeks that anchor Expo 2020 Dubai’s Program for People and Planet, kicked off on Thursday.

Music highlights included Filipina singing sensation Moira Dela Torre, who enthralled the audience at the Jubilee Stage last Monday (14 February).

With upcoming breath-taking visual displays, world-class concerts, National Day celebrations and more, including International Women’s Day celebrations across Expo 2020 (6-8 March), for visitors it really is “Now or never, before it’s gone forever”, as the World Expo approaches its finale on 31st March.
