Overmono, Lola Young, and Rema headline Sole DXB 2026 in Dubai, according to whatson. The festival runs from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 December at The Square, Nad Al Sheba.
Each headliner gets a night of their own, so fans of Welsh techno, South London pop, and Nigerian afrobeats can each pick a day. Milleworld says organisers have taken the festival in a new direction this year.

Lola Young will play Dubai for the first time, months after winning the 2026 Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance. Rema’s “Calm Down” has passed a billion Spotify streams, and Overmono come to Dubai after playing Glastonbury and London’s Alexandra Palace.
On the official site, the organiser says set times will land in the final week, and more names will follow. Milleworld says three-day General Admission passes start at AED 495 and VIP passes at AED 775, sold through Platinumlist. The organiser says it will release single-day tickets soon. Kids aged 10 and under get in free.
The 14th edition is the festival’s first move in over a decade, from d3 to The Square, an open-air community space that opened in 2024. Platinumlist says it’s about 10 minutes from Business Bay and Downtown, and parking is limited and paid, so a taxi or ride-hailing app is the easier option.
Sole DXB began as a “sneaker summit” for local streetwear fans and now covers music, fashion, art, sport, and food. It also isn’t the only big Gulf festival this season: the Abu Dhabi Festival runs until 19 December.
