The Colombian superstar is bringing her world tour to Yas Island this April for OFFLIMITS’ second edition.
The UAE’s first open-format music festival is back. OFFLIMITS returns to Etihad Park, Yas Island on 4 April 2026, with global icon Shakira headlining this year’s edition.
As one of the most influential artists of our time, Shakira has racked up over 95 million record sales, four GRAMMY® Awards and fifteen Latin GRAMMY® Awards. She also holds the title of the most-streamed female Latin artist ever. Her Abu Dhabi performance is part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour.
She won’t be alone. A full line-up of international and regional talent will join her on stage, curated to reflect OFFLIMITS’ open-format identity. Each act brings its own sound and energy. Organisers have said more names will be revealed very soon.
Sia Farr, CEO and managing director of Theory Eleven Entertainment, said: “Bringing one of the most influential artists of our time, Shakira, to OFFLIMITS Music Festival 2026 is a proud moment for us. This year’s edition builds on the success of our debut, and we are excited to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans on Yas Island.”
The debut edition in 2025 featured Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, ARTBAT, Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Zeyne. It introduced a full-day, multi-stage experience, and 2026 is set to build on that momentum.
The music festival is brought to you by Theory Eleven Entertainment, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and Miral.
