The UAE’s first open-format music festival and the largest in the Middle East is back in April after huge success last year.
OFFLIMITS is back, and pre registration for tickets has just opened ahead of the big return to Abu Dhabi this April. The one day music event will take place at Etihad Park on Saturday 4 April, bringing another major live music occasion to the capital this year.
Last year’s OFFLIMITS festival was held at the same Etihad Park venue on Yas Island and quickly became one of the biggest music moments on the UAE calendar. It spanned around 12 hours of performances across four stages and featured more than 25 acts from across the globe. Headliner Ed Sheeran delivered a full set of his biggest hits and drew crowds from across the region. Supporting acts included OneRepublic, Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, Sevdaliza, ARTBAT and more, giving the festival a truly diverse mix of pop, rock, electronic and indie sounds.
Etihad Park itself is one of the largest outdoor music venues in the Middle East with capacity for tens of thousands of fans, and last year’s OFFLIMITS event saw strong local and international attendance as music lovers flocked to experience the high energy line-up.
Organisers have teased that this year’s edition will build on that momentum, and while the line up for 2026 is still under wraps, anticipation is already high based on how the first festival shaped up. Expect a mix of international stars and more world class production when the doors open in April.
You can pre register now via the OFFLIMITS website to secure priority access to tickets once they go on general sale.
