BRED Abu Dhabi’s fourth edition has now been postponed

 

If you’re a fan of smooth trap‑soul and catchy hooks, you were probably excited for this year’s edition of BRED Abu Dhabi.

The festival was scheduled to happen from 22 to 26 April, but it has just been announced that it will be postponed to a later date, which has not yet been announced.

All tickets will be automatically refunded via the platform they were purchased on.

This year’s line-up included Bryson Tiller, known for global hits like Don’t and Exchange, as well as Ayra Starr, the Nigerian afro-sensation known for hits like Santa and Rush.

Other artists included were hip-hop heavyweight Gunna and rising UK rap talent Nemzzz.

This follows news that OFFLIMITS festival has been pushed to November, as well as other postponed or cancelled events.

Returning for its fourth edition, the festival was set to be at Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island in April, bringing together live music, streetwear, sport, art and food across a five-day programme.

This year’s theme, ‘The People of Neo-Culture, Today & Tomorrow,’ focuses on the creatives and communities influencing contemporary culture across the region, with talks, brand collaborations and live showcases scheduled throughout the festival.

Since launching in 2023, BRED has expanded its programme to include fashion pop-ups, art installations, gaming zones and food concepts alongside its headline concerts.

Previous editions have featured artists such as Metro Boomin, Ty Dolla $ign, Offset and Nas.
