At a time when many events across the Gulf
are either being canceled or postponed, Sole DXB is thankfully proceeding as planned. This week, organizers announced when the next edition is set to take place.
Across three days, from Dec. 11–13, Dubai’s yearly meeting point for fashion and music enthusiasts will this year take over The Square at Nad Al Sheba for the first time, bringing together live performances, streetwear, art, food, and everything else we’ve come to expect from the festival.
As for this year’s headliners, that information remains a mystery for now. No names have been announced just yet, though if previous editions are anything to go by, there should be plenty worth getting excited about once the line-up starts trickling in.
If last year is any indication, we could be in for a pretty stacked weekend. The 2025 edition saw Kaytranada, Tyla, and Naika take on headline duties, while the likes of Lil Yachty, Loyle Carner, Zeyne, Tinariwen, Pa Salieu, and Palestinian duo Shabjdeed and Al Nather also made their way to the UAE for the three-day festival.
There’s no word yet on when this year’s first batch of names will be revealed, but with just over two months to go, we probably won’t have to wait too long to find out.
