The UAE is preparing for a massive musical moment as Sunburn Festival, Asia’s largest and most iconic electronic dance music (EDM) festival, will debut in Abu Dhabi in December 2026. The announcement has already created huge buzz across the region, with fans expecting an electrifying mix of global superstars, high-energy performances, and immersive stage production.

Organisers revealed the news on Instagram, confirming a collaboration between BookMyShow, India’s leading ticketing platform, and Ethara, one of the UAE’s premier live event companies known for major productions like the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi After-Race concerts and Saadiyat Nights.

Global reputation, iconic legacy

Launched in Goa nearly two decades ago, Sunburn has evolved into one of the world’s top 10 EDM festivals, according to DJ Mag. Over the years, it has welcomed international heavyweights such as Martin Garrix, DJ Snake, Swedish House Mafia, Marshmello, Alan Walker, and David Guetta — who headlines the 2025 edition in Mumbai.

Now, for the first time in festival history, Abu Dhabi’s Sunburn Festival will run simultaneously with the flagship Indian edition, giving fans in both countries synchronised performances and an equally star-studded experience.

What to expect

While official details regarding the line-up, ticket sales, and venue are yet to be revealed, the track record of past Sunburn editions suggests fans can expect:

  • Top-tier EDM headliners and breakthrough DJs

  • Iconic stage setups and pyrotechnics

  • A vibrant atmosphere combining UAE’s global stage with India’s festival legacy

David Powell, Chief Strategy & Business Development Officer at Ethara, said: “Abu Dhabi is an established beacon for global live entertainment, and we look forward to bringing Sunburn Festival to the city. Together with BookMyShow, we aim to deliver the same world-class production and energy that has made Sunburn a global phenomenon.”

Abu Dhabi: a rising global music hub

The arrival of Sunburn adds to Abu Dhabi’s growing list of international festivals, joining the likes of Wireless Festival Middle East and Korea’s Dream Concert, both of which recently brought major global acts to the capital.

With its track record for world-class events and tourism appeal, Abu Dhabi is positioning itself as a premier destination for live music and cultural experiences, making the 2026 Sunburn debut one of the most anticipated events in the region.

Further announcements on ticketing, venues, and artist lineups are expected in the coming months
