Happening from 18 to 20 April at Etihad Park, Yas Island, this year’s edition looks set to be its best yet, with over 15 diverse artists gracing the stages.
Usher brings his magic to Abu Dhabi
Headlining the three-day extravaganza is none other than R&B superstar Usher. Fresh off 62 sold-out shows around the globe (that’s over 800,000 tickets snapped up!), Usher’s performance on 19 April is expected to be a true highlight of the weekend. With timeless classics like “Yeah!” and “U Remind Me”, along with some fresh beats from his latest tour, expect electrifying choreography, powerhouse vocals, and an unforgettable evening. If you've never experienced an Usher show live, trust us, you’re in for a treat.
Indie Icons, pop royalty, and lots more
Kicking off festivities on 18 April, fan favourites Snow Patrol will remind us why they’ve remained loved for decades, bringing iconic tunes like “Chasing Cars” and “Run” to the Abu Dhabi stage. Joining them are British indie rock legends The Kooks, whose upbeat and catchy hits like “Naive” promise to have the crowd singing along.
Closing the festival on 20 April, British pop sensation Raye and dreamy indie favourites London Grammar will bring a soulful, mesmerising end to the weekend. Raye’s fresh blend of pop and electronic beats, paired with London Grammar’s ethereal vocals, will make for the perfect Sunday evening vibe.
Local and emerging stars
Supporting these international headliners is an exciting mix of UAE-based talent. Starting things off on Day 1, Dubai DJ Swanahh will kick off the weekend with her vibrant Afrobeat and hip-hop-infused sets in the hangout area. Winners of Club Social’s previous Battle of the Bands, 13 Daze, are set to heat up the main stage, while DJ Flipp’Side will keep the after-party going strong.
On Day 2, DJ Ragy’s immersive deep house and techno sounds, alongside Remix Rich’s addictive EDM and trap remixes, promise to keep the energy high. Rounding off the night, Nuff Said will deliver his unique fusion of R&B and hip-hop, ensuring that no one wants to head home early.
Finally, Day 3 will see Dana Naidu and The Tasty Biscuits opening on the main stage, showcasing their irresistible blend of alternative R&B and soulful energy. DJ Nad will be setting the scene in the hangout area with her eclectic deep house mixes, and Jasmine Ruby’s electrifying hip-hop and techno set promises the perfect finish to the weekend festivities.
