OFFLIMITS Music Festival has confirmed a new date — November 21, 2026 at Etihad Park, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi — with headline acts Shakira and Jonas Brothers still locked on the bill. The full artist roster stays unchanged, and every ticket purchased for the original April 4 date transfers automatically.
New Date Set: November 21 at Yas Island
The festival will now take place on November 21, replacing the original April 4 schedule. Organizers moved the event in response to ongoing geopolitical challenges in the region, a factor that has affected several large-scale events across the UAE this year.
The cooler November climate at Etihad Park makes for a more comfortable outdoor experience than the spring heat. The venue and the lineup remain exactly as announced.
Full Lineup Confirmed: Shakira, Jonas Brothers, Ne-Yo and More
The lineup is unchanged following the date update. Confirmed performers include:
- Shakira — bringing her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour to Abu Dhabi - Jonas Brothers — chart-topping American pop-rock trio - Ne-Yo — three-time Grammy Award-winning hitmaker - Biffy Clyro, KALEO, Scouting for Girls, Toploader, Bayou, Yara Mustafa, and YAZ
More artists are expected to be announced ahead of the November date, with the genre-spanning programme set to unfold across multiple stages.
Tickets Remain Valid — No Rebooking Needed
Anyone holding tickets for the original April 4 show does not need to take any action. All existing tickets are automatically honoured for November 21, with no requirement for rebooking or exchange. Entry remains tied to the original purchase.
Planning for the OFFLIMITS Abu Dhabi Experience
With November 21 now confirmed, there is time to arrange travel, accommodation, and group plans around the updated date. Etihad Park on Yas Island is one of Abu Dhabi's premier outdoor event venues, well connected to hotels, theme parks, and dining across the island.
Organizers have not announced further changes beyond the confirmed date, lineup, and ticket validity. OFFLIMITS Music Festival remains one of the standout Abu Dhabi events of 2026, with its full international lineup and a clear November 21 date on the calendar.
