TAARIQ HALIM (ABU DHABI)
Good news for Abu Dhabi music fans. BREDx is back with a bang, and organisers have announced two top acts for the festival that returns to Etihad Live (formerly Etihad Park) on November 13 and 14.
American R&B singer and rapper Bryson Tiller makes his debut in the UAE capital on November 13, as does UK rapper Central Cee the following day.
BREDx is a two-day neo-culture experience. Presented by BRED Abu Dhabi, it blends music, fashion, art, sports and food in a single venue. Expect regional and local talent, photo exhibitions, parties, and a lineup of top global artists.
Bryson Tiller
The Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum artist has redefined modern R&B with his signature “trap-soul” sound, blending hip-hop beats, alternative R&B and intimate songwriting. From TRAPSOUL classics like “Exchange” and “Sorry Not Sorry” to collaborations with Drake and Big Sean, Tiller brings his signature sound to the stage with smooth vocals and high-energy anthems.
Central Cee
The BRIT-nominated, multi-platinum artist is one of the defining voices of a new generation of UK rap, blending UK drill and hip-hop with incisive lyrics. From global hits “Doja” and “Sprinter” to his debut album CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS, Central Cee brings the energy and attitude of West London to the stage with hard-hitting anthems.
The inaugural edition of the annual festival was held in 2023. Past performers include big names such as Offset, Metro Boomin, Gunna, PARTYNEXTDOOR, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, 6LACK, Giggs and Dave East.
Regional stars El Rass, Tagne, Synaptik, Balti, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Omar Souleyman have also shone on the BREDx stage over the past three years.
