A New Era of Entertainment at Expo City Dubai
Expo City Dubai is about to reach new heights in cultural vibrancy, thanks to an exciting partnership between Live Nation Middle East and UAE-based BRAG. This collaboration will see the management of three exceptional venues—Jubilee Park, Al Forsan Park, and Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre—each designed to offer a diverse array of events throughout the year.
Premier Venues Designed for Diversity
Jubilee Park and Al Forsan Park: Spaces for Large Gatherings
Jubilee Park, with a capacity of 12,000, and Al Forsan Park, holding 5,000, are poised to be the heart and soul of outdoor celebrations in Expo City Dubai. These expansive venues are perfect for festivals, cultural events, and community gatherings. The open-air settings promise a lively atmosphere, inviting audiences to come together to enjoy various forms of entertainment, from music festivals to cultural showcases.
Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre: An Intimate Artistic Gathering
In contrast, the Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre offers an intimate space for more personal experiences. With a capacity of 2,000, this venue is tailored for emerging artists and community-centric events. It provides an ideal backdrop for performances that foster connections between performers and audiences, making it a vital part of Dubai’s cultural landscape.
Creating Accessible Entertainment
Amna Abulhoul, the Executive Creative Director at Expo City Dubai, emphasizes that this initiative was born out of a desire to create a welcoming environment. According to her, “Expo City Dubai was designed to be a destination for everyone—a place where people can gather, celebrate and be inspired.” This sentiment captures the essence of what Live Nation and BRAG aim to achieve: making cultural and creative experiences more accessible and frequent for communities throughout the year.
Empowering Local Creators and Organizers
Ramzi Nakad, CEO and Creative Director at BRAG, shares the vision of unlocking the full creative potential of these spaces. Their goal is not only to host events but also to empower event organizers, promoters, and creators by simplifying the process of bringing their ideas to fruition. This initiative represents a commitment to fostering local talent and creativity, making Expo City Dubai a hub for innovation in entertainment.
Celebrating Landmark Events
The venues have already made a name for themselves by hosting landmark events that have drawn crowds from all walks of life. Notable past events include the spectacular Untold Music Festival and Break the Block, alongside the vibrant FIFA Fan Zone. The range of performances spans genres, having welcomed renowned artists like Jungle, Amr Diab, Tiesto, Adnan Sami, and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. These events serve as a testament to the spaces’ versatility and the demand for live entertainment in the community.
A Vision for the Future
As Live Nation Middle East and BRAG take the reins of these incredible venues, the anticipation surrounding future events continues to grow. With an emphasis on diversity and accessibility, Expo City Dubai is set to become not just a visual marvel but also a thriving cultural hub, fostering a sense of community through artistic expression and entertainment.
The commitment to year-round events ensures that residents and visitors alike will have the opportunity to experience world-class entertainment, creating lasting memories in the heart of Dubai’s dynamic landscape.
