New additions, more music, more brands, and extended hours — it’s going to be a packed edition this time around.
With the 2024 edition of Sole DXB just over two months away, limited pre-sale tickets are now live, offering the best entry prices and giving attendees the opportunity to secure their spots. The region’s leading contemporary culture festival is set to take place from 13 to 15 December, returning once again to its home of Dubai Design District (d3). As for what’s on the roster? More of all the good stuff, for starters.
We’re told that this year’s festival promises to be even more immersive and boundary-pushing than ever, with new additions across music, fashion, art, culture and food. To celebrate its 12th anniversary, Sole DXB is introducing a series of exciting elements to elevate the festival experience. For the first time, Sole DXB will feature live performances on the main stage on all three days, and audiences can expect a diverse line-up of artists that promises to raise the bar even further. And with the festival adding a second stage onto all the happenings, an eclectic mix of jazz, world, R&B and dance music is in the works.
Stage Front tickets will once again allow fans to get even closer to the action; these premium passes offer unparalleled access to the best views for headline performances as well as additional grandstand experiences. Over the years, the Sole DXB roaster has featured an impressive array of performers and guests — Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Jorja Smith, Big Daddy Kane, Oddisee, Tobe Nwigwe, Koffee, Sho Madjozi, Bas, Stormzy, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Petra Collins, Scottie Pippen, and Kerby-Jean Raymond included. For now, we can only speculate about this year’s headline acts, but further announcements on programming are expected in the weeks ahead.
Attendees can also look forward to a wide array of regional and international brands offering exclusive drops, interactive experiences, and creative activations across fashion, tech, accessories and more. Additionally, Sole DXB will run for longer hours; doors will open at 3pm and close at 2am, allowing festivalgoers to fully immerse in the experience. Bonus: all participating fashion and F&B brands will also be available for the entire duration. You can also enjoy the return of Sole DXB Talks, Basketball, Skate and Breakdance showcases along with an expanded focus on the visual arts. In addition to the main festival, Sole DXB Off Circuit returns for its second year, extending the festival’s reach beyond the weekend. This year’s series of activations will include events throughout the city in the week leading up to Sole DXB, making the festival a ten-day cultural extravaganza unlike any other.
