OFFLIMITS Music Festival is Back: Abu Dhabi Gears Up for April 2026

Abu Dhabi’s live music calendar is heating up early. OFFLIMITS Music Festival is officially returning in April 2026, following a debut that drew massive crowds and proved the capital is more than ready for big, bold festivals.

If last year was the introduction, this next edition looks set to be the glow-up.

A debut that made noise

When OFFLIMITS launched, it didn’t play it safe. Instead of sticking to one sound, the festival went full open-format, bouncing between pop, rock, electronic, and alternative — all in one space.

That anything-goes approach worked. Big names like Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, and ARTBAT shared the lineup with regional and global acts, creating a festival that felt fresh, unpredictable, and very hard to leave early.

Same energy, bigger expectations

Organisers have confirmed the 2026 edition will once again be a full-day festival with multiple stages, keeping the same genre-hopping formula that made the debut stand out.

While the 2026 lineup hasn’t been announced yet, expectations are high after last year’s hit-heavy roster. If the first edition is anything to go by, fans can expect a mix of chart-toppers, dancefloor favorites, and left-field surprises.

Abu Dhabi’s festival scene keeps growing

OFFLIMITS isn’t just another concert — it’s part of a bigger shift. Abu Dhabi has been steadily building its reputation as a serious live music destination, and festivals like this are helping push it further into the global spotlight.

For fans in their 20s, it’s the kind of event that turns a normal weekend into a full-on plan.

Ticket updates: here’s what to know

Tickets aren’t on sale yet, but pre-registration is now open. Signing up gives fans priority access once ticket sales go live — a smart move if last year’s demand is anything to judge by.

More details, including artist announcements and exact dates, are expected soon.
