ATEEZ and Red Velvet to Headline DREAM Concert’s UAE Debut

The first wave of headliners has been revealed, with ATEEZ set to deliver hits like Crazy Form and WORK alongside tracks from their new album 'Golden Hour: Part.3'. Joining them are Red Velvet, DREAM Concert regulars in South Korea, who will bring fan favourites including 'Psycho', 'Russian Roulette' and 'Bad Boy' – each streamed more than 200 million times on Spotify.

Also confirmed are TripleS, returning to the UAE after their set at Dubai’s WATERBOMB festival last summer, and rising group All(H)Ours, who will make their Abu Dhabi debut. Organisers have teased that five more major acts will be announced on Friday September 12.

Since its launch in Seoul in 1995, DREAM Concert has become one of the world’s most celebrated K-pop showcases, rarely held outside Korea. Its stop in Abu Dhabi is part of a global anniversary tour, promising a full day of high-energy performances, choreography and production that have defined the festival for three decades.

The event will run from 3pm until 1am, with ticket pre-registration already open. General sales go live on Wednesday September 10. Organised by Theory Eleven Entertainment in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, the festival underscores Abu Dhabi’s growing reputation as a hub for world-class live music.
