Sole DXB 2025: your guide to Dubai’s biggest culture festival
Loud, stylish and completely in its own lane, Sole DXB is returning. Bigger and better, with Grammy-winning artists to match.
The 2025 headliners have officially dropped, and they’re huge. Taking over the main stage, this December are Kaytranada, Tyla, and Miguel. If Kaytranada’s beats, Tyla’s amapiano energy, or Miguel’s smooth R&B have a spot in your playlist, this one is non-negotiable.

General release tickets are available now through Platinumlist.
Here's the line-up:
Friday 12 December opens with Kaytranada, the Montreal-based producer and DJ whose sound blends electronic, hip-hop, funk and R&B with effortless cool. With two Grammy Awards, a stack of cult-favourite collaborations, and a reputation for unforgettable live sets, Kaytranada will set the tone for the weekend.
On Saturday 13 December, South Africa’s Tyla brings her global amapiano-pop fusion to the stage. Since her breakout single Water took over charts, dancefloors and TikTok feeds, she’s won a Grammy, collaborated with Travis Scott and Tems, and become one of music’s most exciting new stars. Her performance promises high energy, huge hits and a whole lot of charisma.
Closing the weekend on Sunday 14 December is Miguel, whose career spans over a decade of genre-defining R&B. From timeless tracks like Sure Thing and Adorn to his new experimental album CAOS, Miguel brings both emotional depth and star power to the Sole DXB stage.
But this is more than just a music line-up. Sole DXB is a full cultural takeover. Expect exclusive fashion drops, regional and international art, creative workshops, panels, talks, sports tournaments and an expanded culinary line-up featuring some of the city’s most exciting food talent.
With more announcements to come, Sole DXB 2025 is shaping up to be a standout edition of one of the region’s most influential festivals.
