If you haven’t got your hands on tickets already, UK rap heavyweight Nines joining the BRED Abu Dhabi lineup will make you grab some NOW!
The highly anticipated third edition of the region’s leading neo-culture festival returns to Yas Marina Circuit, Yas Island, from 23 to 27 April, bringing together the best in music, fashion, sports, and art.
And if the BRED Abu Dhabi lineup wasn’t banging enough, Nines is going to be joining legendary hip-hop icon Nas for an unmissable night on 25 April.
While Nas brings his unmistakable East Coast sound and acclaimed discography to Abu Dhabi, Nines will take the stage with his signature wordplay and platinum-certified hits. Nines’ latest album, Quit While You’re Ahead, continues to dominate the scene, blending cinematic beats with unfiltered lyricism for a sound that hits hard both on and off the stage.
There’s more, though, with the regional lineup promising to set the scene at the AMP Stage as part of the Day Pass entry.
On 24 April, Lebanese pop artist Dana Hourani will take centre stage, bringing a fusion of contemporary and cultural sounds, including InshAllah Kheir, crowned the region’s Song of the Summer in 2023.
Next up on 25 April, Moroccan-French artist Nayra brings a blend of raw emotion and poetic lyricism, delivering bold beats and an energy that will leave the crowd buzzing.
The BRED Abu Dhabi lineup will also feature Odeal on the AMP Stage on 26 April. The genre-blending artist’s mix of R&B, Alté, and Afro influences reflects his upbringing across Germany, Nigeria, Spain, and the UK.
Meanwhile, on 27 April, Egyptian rap sensation Ilmond steps up with his hard-hitting, deeply personal lyrics that resonate with real-life struggles and victories. Finishing the festival on a high, Egyptian rappers Marwan Moussa and Afroto will light things up and close with a bang!
