With just weeks to go before BRED Abu Dhabi opens the doors to its 2025 edition, organizers have revealed the names of the artists expected to take the stage in the UAE capital. Following the announcement of American legend NAS, Toronto’s PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Egyptian rock band Cairokee, the lineup continues to grow with new acts joining the already star-studded billing.
Slated to take place from April 23 to 27, festival-goers can also look forward to seeing Egyptian rappers Marwan Moussa, Afroto, and Ilmond; Palestinian lyricist The Synaptic; Mecca-born femcee Asayel; along with North African rock band Adonis on Yas Island, where the forthcoming event will take place. It has also been revealed that Lebanese singer Dana Hourani, rising Moroccan rhymester Nayra, and recently-retired hip-hop artist Nines will also be part of this year’s roster.
Spanning several genres and pockets of music, live concerts will only make up one (small) part of the experience, as the festival is set to feature an array of immersive activities, including a basketball tournament, street art installations and showcases, food stalls, and various other fashion-centered activations.
Gearing up to be the ultimate post-Ramadan event not to miss, tickets are still available, priced at AED 745 for 5-day GA passes, AED 1,175 for 5-day GA Golden Circle passes, AED 75 for weekday access, and AED 95 for weekend passes. That said, it’s important to note that tickets for Cairokee and Adonis’ concerts on the 24th are priced at AED 195. For NAS and Nines on the 25th, you’ll need AED 245, while tickets for PARTYNEXTDOOR will set you back AED 345.
