Live Nation Middle East and BRAG Team Up to Elevate Entertainment at Expo City Dubai

In a groundbreaking partnership, Live Nation Middle East has joined forces with UAE-based entertainment powerhouse BRAG to manage three premier venues at the vibrant Expo City Dubai. This coalition promises to bring a fusion of cultural and entertainment experiences to one of the most exciting destinations in the Gulf region.

A Triad of Dynamic Venues

The collaboration will oversee a trio of venues that cater to diverse audiences and event types: Jubilee Park, Al Forsan Park, and the Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre. Each venue has been specifically designed to host a variety of events throughout the year, making Expo City a central hub for both locals and tourists.

• Jubilee Park boasts a remarkable capacity of 12,000, making it perfect for large-scale festivals and lively cultural events. Its expansive outdoor space allows for creative layouts and vibrant experiences.

• Al Forsan Park, with a capacity of 5,000, provides a slightly more intimate setting while still showcasing the grandeur typical of outdoor gatherings. This venue is ideal for cultural celebrations and community-focused events.

• Lastly, the Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre, accommodating 2,000 guests, is crafted for a more subdued atmosphere. It serves as an excellent platform for emerging artists and intimate community gatherings, fostering local talent and connections.

Designing Inclusivity and Inspiration

Amna Abulhoul, Executive Creative Director of Entertainment & Experiences at Expo City Dubai, emphasizes the vision behind these venues: “Expo City Dubai was designed to be a destination for everyone—a place where people can gather, celebrate, and be inspired.” This mission reflects the global ethos of Expo 2020, creating a community space where diversity flourishes through art and interaction.

The partnership aims not only to bring world-class entertainment but also to make cultural and creative experiences more accessible. Abulhoul notes, “This partnership allows us to bring world-class entertainment directly to our communities year-round, making it easier for everyone to engage with the arts.”

Creating Opportunities for Creators

BRAG’s CEO and Creative Director, Ramzi Nakad, highlights the organization’s commitment to unlocking the creative potential of these venues. Their goal is to streamline the process for event organizers, promoters, and creators, making it faster and easier for innovative ideas to come to life. Nakad believes that by fostering an environment of collaboration, they can enhance the richness of the cultural tapestry in Expo City Dubai.

A History of Landmark Events

The venues have already witnessed a series of memorable events, underscoring their capability to attract diverse audiences. Designed to cater to high-profile occasions, they have hosted globally recognized festivals and renowned artists. With major events like the Untold Music Festival and Break the Block, and performances from international stars such as Jungle, Amr Diab, Tiesto, Adnan Sami, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, the venues have established themselves as premier destinations for live entertainment.

These events highlight not just the physical spaces but also the rich cultural narratives that Expo City embodies, where every concert and festival serves as a chapter in a larger story of community and celebration.
