The Sunburn Festival, coming to Abu Dhabi, has triggered excitement across the city. The UAE’s first-ever edition of the Sunburn Festival is scheduled for December 2026.
Sunburn Festival is Asia’s biggest electronic dance music (EDM) brand, ranked eighth globally by DJ Mag. The festival will bring Sunburn’s signature lineup, immersive production, and energetic performances to the Middle East.
For nearly twenty years now, Sunburn has redefined live EDM experiences in Asia and has featured acts such as Martin Garrix, David Guetta, DJ Snake, Swedish House Mafia, Armin van Buuren, Marshmello, Alan Walker, and The Chainsmokers. The festival’s expansion into Abu Dhabi marks a cultural milestone.
The expansion will introduce a twin-flagship festival model, with simultaneous editions planned in the UAE and India, a first in the festival’s history.
The Sunburn Festival is expected to raise the bar even higher for Abu Dhabi’s status as a cultural hub. The city already hosts large-scale global entertainment showcases. Hosting the Sunburn Festival in Abu Dhabi is ideal, given the capital’s world-class infrastructure and cultural ambition.
Audiences can expect synchronised performances, iconic lineups, and an electric atmosphere that keeps music enthusiasts on their toes.
More details are yet to be announced regarding the festival’s exact location and dates. Till then, fans can stay tuned for more information on the website and also register there.
