Today's Edition
ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
OFFLIMITS Music Festival is returning to Etihad Park, Yas Island, on April 4, 2026, with none other than global superstar Shakira headlining this year’s edition.
Famous for its bold multi-stage setup, OFFLIMITS blends music with art, visual design and cultural experiences to create an electrifying atmosphere for festival-goers.
One of the most influential artists of this century, Shakira has sold over 95 million records worldwide, earned four Grammy Awards and 15 Latin Grammy Awards, and is the most-streamed female Latin artist of all time.
She will perform in Abu Dhabi as part of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, bringing her mesmerising dance moves and chart-topping hits such as “Hip don’t Lie”, “Whenever, Wherever”, “She Wolf”, and football world cup anthem “Waka Waka”.
A line-up of international and regional artists will join Shakira, curated to reflect OFFLIMITS’ open-format identity. More artists will be announced soon.
“Bringing one of the most influential artists of our time, Shakira, to OFFLIMITS Music Festival 2026 is a proud moment for us,” said Sia Farr, CEO and Managing Director of Theory Eleven Entertainment.
“Her global influence and ability to connect with audiences align perfectly with the festival’s open-format identity. This year’s edition builds on the success of our debut, and we are excited to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans on Yas Island.”
Its inaugural 2025 edition, headlined by Ed Sheeran and featured acts such as OneRepublic, Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, ARTBAT, Fun Lovin’ Criminals and Zeyne.
The debut showcased its signature full-day, multi-stage open-format experience, and the 2026 festival now builds on that momentum as OFFLIMITS returns for its second edition.
The music festival is presented by Theory Eleven Entertainment, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, and Miral, the leading creator of immersive destinations and experiences in Abu Dhabi.
Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, January 24, at 11am, exclusively at http://tickets.offlimts.com, with prices starting from Dh595.
