Abu Dhabi's electronic music lovers are in for something historic: Afterlife, the globally acclaimed techno festival, is staging its UAE debut at Yas Gateway Park on December 6, 2024. Running for eight consecutive years, the festival has built a worldwide following through its signature combination of captivating visuals, driving drum and bass, and cutting-edge sound design.
Afterlife Abu Dhabi Lineup
A string of international artists are confirmed for the Abu Dhabi show — Layla Benitez, Rebūke, and Cassian among them. Fans can also look forward to special audio-visual performances: MRAK presents We Don't Follow, and Anyma presents Genesys, two of the festival's most visually ambitious productions.
Closing the night — as they do at every Afterlife event — are the Italian duo Tale of Us. The festival founders and resident DJs, Tale of Us have become synonymous with the event's otherworldly atmosphere, and their Abu Dhabi closing set promises to be the highlight of the evening.
Part of Abu Dhabi's Biggest Weekend
The festival falls during one of Abu Dhabi's most event-packed weekends of the year. Afterlife Abu Dhabi coincides with the season-culminating Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the YaSalam After Race Concert Series, positioning the UAE capital as a major destination for music and motorsport in December.
