On November 22, Abu Dhabi will host Dream Concert, one of South Korea’s largest and most legendary music festivals, for the very first time. 

And if you’re wondering whether it’s a big deal, here’s your answer: the festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary in none other than Yas Island’s Etihad Park. 

Yes, 30 years of music, passion, and glittery fandom moments, now going global.

The lineup already reads like a fan’s dream diary: Ateez, the powerhouse group with a worldwide following, Red Velvet icons Seulgi and Joy, ready to bring the group’s hits to life; the rising stars of Xikers, TripleS, who already charmed the UAE crowd at WATERBOMB, the soulful Bang Ye Dam; rookie sensations All(H)Ours; and the unique group iii. 

And the organizers promise that this is just the beginning. More names are yet to be announced.

The event kicks off at 3 p.m and doesn’t wind down until 1 a.m., making it a marathon of music, dance, and high-voltage performances. 

For Abu Dhabi, it’s another stamp on its growing reputation as a global culture hub. 

And for fans, it’s that once-in-a-lifetime moment when their playlists leap off their screens and onto a stage under the Arabian night sky.
