There’s been a huge buildup and FINALLY the day is upon us.

RedFestDXB kicks off today and it’s fair to say Dubai is buzzing.

The artists have landed, the stage is set (millions of dirhams have gone into creating an epic stage that looks bigger and better than ever before) and Dubai is just hours away from one of the biggest musical festivals of the year.

Here are four reasons you need to get yourself together, pop on a pair of comfy shoes (there WILL be dancing) and get down to Dubai Media City Amphitheatre for this epic two day music festival…

4. One of the biggest pop duos of 2017 are about to perform

Having come off an epic year, with quite possibly the best collabs in the music business, (we see you Coldplay and Halsey) 10,000 extremely lucky people are about to witness The Chainsmokers perform tonight…

Lovin even got a chance to catch up with the American duo before the event, who said they cannot WAIT to get to Dubai, they’ve never been before but they’re heard the ziplining is sick and they can’t wait to give it a go. They also mentioned their celeb crush is Jim Carrey…a strange one to say the least, but hey, at least they’re not shy about it.

Oh hey Chainsmokers

3. Kesha is following her B-E-A-utiful Grammy performance with a huge glitter filled RedFestDXB show

Take two minutes out of your day right now to listen to Kesha’s stunning Grammy performance. The songstress has gone from teen pop sensation to glorified star this year (her addition to The Greatest Showman soundtrack will give you goose bumps) and you will kick yourself if you miss her performance tomorrow night.

2. We could go ON about the epic line-up

Give a raise to whoever brought this lineup to the UAE. Seriously, we get a lot of big stars, but it’s rare so much talent gets brought together for the same show.

With the likes of Marshmello, Bebe Rexha, Russ, Kelli-Leigh, Anthony Touma, Craig David and more, both nights are set to be absolutely stellar.

1. Brace yourselves for the food people

All your favourites in one place.

There’s a whole area laid out for f&b and some of your favourite spots have found themselves a space at Redfest; Perry & Blackwelders, (the wings here are life) Moylo’s, Meatballerz, Pizza Express, Poke Poke and so much moreeee are coming.

Exciting!

What are the deets?

Doors open today at 6pm and tomorrow, Friday 9 at 4pm.

Tickets start at AED395 and you can get them here now.
