BREDx Abu Dhabi: The Essentials
If you are planning to attend, there are a few logistical requirements to keep in mind. The festival takes place at Etihad Live, with both Friday and Saturday sessions running from 5pm until 3am. Most importantly, the minimum age for entry is 14.
The Lineup: From Opening Party to Global Headliners
The festival is split into two distinct musical vibes, so your choice of ticket depends on whether you want a regional opening party or a night with global superstars.
- Friday, November 13 (Opening Party): This day focuses on regional and local talent. The lineup includes Bu Kholthoum, Zaid Khaled, and Nasser, alongside international DJs.
- Saturday, November 14 (Headline Concert): This is the main event for international fans, featuring multi-platinum R&B artist Bryson Tiller and UK rapper Central Cee. Nasser is also scheduled to perform on the Amp stage.

Beyond the court and the stage, the festival acts as a marketplace for the local creative economy. You can expect:
- Retail & Fashion: Over 30 homegrown brands will be present, including capsule collections and exclusive collaborations from names like El Botik and Moonlanding.
- Food & Drink: The culinary lineup features local favourites and collaborations, such as Marmellata, Barbassi Slice Shop, and Fowli’s whole-fried chicken concept.
- Art: A photography exhibition will showcase works from regional photographers including Yasmina Hilal and Taqwa Bint Ali.
