A Brand New Music Festival Is Coming To Town…But It’s Happening At Dubai’s Popular Metro Stations

Avatar

In what can be described as a random but ah-mazing news nonetheless, Dubai is all set to host an incredible music festival in town…but it’s happening at the unlikeliest place of all.

Dubai’s five most popular metro stations will host its very first music festival from from Sunday, March 17 until Saturday, March 23.

The best bit?

The festival is completely free to attend and will feature 25 international artists performing a variety of traditional and non-traditional musical genres.

Only in Dubai will you see a full-blown musical concert happening at a metro station
