If you’ve been waiting for a reason to block your calendar this month, Sole DXB just handed you one. The city’s most-loved festival for music, fashion and culture is back at Dubai Design District. It has made its comeback with a star-studded lineup this year. Think three full days of live performances, brand drops and energy to keep you buzzing long.
Sole DXB 2025: Three Days, Huge Artists, Exclusive Drops and Non-Stop Vibes
From Friday, December 12 to Sunday, December 14, Sole DXB will take over d3 for its 13th edition. The setup always feels like someone took the coolest parts of global street culture and dropped them right in the heart of Dubai. But this year, the organisers went even bigger. Picture looking at live music, creative talks, sports tournaments, exclusive brand experiences and a seriously expanded food scene as mentioned on their official Instagram account.
The Star-Studded Lineup
Friday kicks off with DJ Kaytranada, Grammy-winner known for blending electronic, hip hop, and R&B. Joining him are jazz legend Gilles Peterson, Malian collective Tinariwen, and India’s rap giants Raftaar and KR$NA.
Saturday brings a different kind of fire with South Africa’s pop sensation Tyla taking the stage. She’ll be joined by Lil Yachty, rising Arab pop star Zeyne, singer-songwriter Tommy WÁ, Palestinian talents Shabjdeed and Al Nather, and UK DJ Jordss.
And on Sunday, Miguel wraps up the weekend with his smooth, timeless R&B. Fans can expect a mix of classics, crowd favourites. Sharing the stage with him: UK rapper Loyle Carner, soul artist Naïka, rapper Pa Salieu and saxophonist Venna.
More Than Music
Sole DXB is also part of the Dubai Shopping Festival calendar, which means exclusive brand moments and big names like Fred Perry, Asics and Humantra rolling out special concepts. Also, this year a few global brands are rumoured to debut products at the festival.
Tickets start at AED599 for a weekend pass on PlatinumList. More details on schedules and events will drop as the weekend approaches.
