BRED Abu Dhabi is back this April, bringing its bold blend of music, fashion, art, food and youth culture to Yas Marina Circuit for its fourth edition. Running from April 22 to 26, the festival once again transforms the capital into a hub of neo-culture, spotlighting the creative voices shaping today and tomorrow.
Since its debut in 2023, BRED Abu Dhabi has grown into one of the region’s most influential platforms for youth expression and Arab creativity. What began as a fresh take on street culture has evolved into a multi-day experience that brings together local innovators and global names across music, fashion, sport, gaming and art.
Past editions have welcomed major international artists including Metro Boomin, Nas, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Offset and Cairokee, while original collaborations such as the track Hena captured the sound and spirit of a new generation. Each year, the festival continues to push boundaries, blending global influence with regional identity.
The 2026 edition is themed “The People of Neo-Culture, Today & Tomorrow,” exploring how culture is shaped in real time by communities rooted in heritage yet always looking forward. Festival-goers can expect immersive performances, unexpected collaborations and experiences designed to reflect the evolving creative landscape of the region.
Food will also play a major role at this year’s event. Cult US burger brand Skinny Louie will make an appearance with its signature smash burgers, while BRED’s neo-gallery opens with a limited-edition photography book showcasing some of the region’s most exciting visual artists, including Yasmina Hilal, Taqwa Bint Ali and Ali Al Shehabi. Their work will be displayed throughout the festival, adding a strong visual narrative to the experience.
