Dates announced for Sole DXB 2026

It’s one of the biggest weekends on Dubai’s entertainment calendar, and Sole DXB – the iconic contemporary culture festival – is set to return this December. Running from December 11 to 13, this epic showcase at D3 brings together all things cool and cultural, with international acts, local live music, fashion, film, food, sports and more – so be sure to lock in those dates. While the line-up and ticket prices haven’t dropped yet, stay tuned – as more information is set to be revealed in the build-up to the big weekend. Now in its 14th year, Sole DXB has grown from a cool meet-up for sneakerheads into one of Dubai’s biggest and best homegrown festivals in the city. Be prepared for exclusive drops, interactive experiences and creative activations across fashion, tech, accessories and more. While we don’t have the 2026 line-up yet, last year’s headliners included Tyla and Miguel, and previous years have seen headline performances from the likes of James Blake, Tems, Nas, Jorja Smith, Stormzy, and Central Cee, so we can’t wait to see this year’s line-up. As we move into the final three months of the year, the UAE comes alive with a season of huge events, festivals and musical moments. From the laugh-out-loud Dubai Comedy Festival this October, to the Emirates Dubai 7s in November and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December, there’s lots to look forward to.
