Mark your calendars, Dubai. Sole DXB is making its big return this December — with a headline trio that’s nothing short of iconic. Three GRAMMY winners will take over the main stage: Haitian-born, Montreal-based producer and DJ Kaytranada on Friday, December 12; South African superstar Tyla on Saturday, December 13; and American R&B legend Miguel to close things out on Sunday, December 14.
“As fans first, that’s how we program Sole DXB,” says partner Rajat Malhotra in a released statement. “This year, we’re proud to bring Kaytranada, Tyla, and Miguel to our Main Stage. Together, this multigenre trifecta defines the best in contemporary music and is our point of view on where global sound is today.”
Backed by Visit Dubai and hosted once again in Dubai Design District (d3) — the city’s hub for art, design, and creativity — the 2025 edition promises more than just music. As always, Sole DXB has never been just about the headliners. Across three days, the festival transforms d3 into a cultural playground with sneaker drops, exclusive collabs, art installations, talks, streetball tournaments, and a food scene that’s just as exciting as the lineup.
Kaytranada doesn’t just DJ, he builds worlds. The Haitian-born, Montreal-raised producer first broke through with a viral Janet Jackson remix before reshaping global sound with his debut 99.9% and the Grammy-winning BUBBA. His collabs span from Kali Uchis to Aminé, and his live sets turn dancefloors into full-on therapy sessions. He’ll be setting the vibe when he takes over the Sole DXB main stage on Friday, December 12.
The following night belongs to Tyla. Ever since Water went nuclear, the South African star has been rewriting the global pop rulebook. She is the first-ever Grammy award winner for Best African Music Performance, dropped a chart-topping debut album, and has graced everything from Vogue covers to the Met Gala.
Closing the weekend is Miguel. The R&B icon who gave us Sure Thing and Adorn has a discography built on timeless tracks, while his new album CAOS proves he is still pushing boundaries. Vulnerable, experimental, and impossibly smooth, Miguel live is equal parts intimacy and spectacle— the perfect send-off for Sole DXB 2025.
General admission tickets are already available on Dubai Platinumlist, starting from Dhs449 for a weekend pass. Lineup details, ticket categories, and programme updates will all be revealed in the lead-up to the festival.
