All you need to know about SOLE DXB.
This isn’t just another festival on Dubai’s social calendar. This is the moment the city’s cultural pulse beats its loudest, set against a backdrop of our iconic skyline—a silhouette of ambition where desert modernity meets creative fire. The conversation starts here, and it begins with two urgent questions on every style-savvy, culture-conscious mind: How much is a SOLE DXB ticket this year, and when can you actually get one?
Mark your diaries and set your alarms. Presale access for the highly anticipated 13th edition of SOLE DXB goes live today, on 17th September 2025 exclusively via platinumlist.com/soledxb. In this initial wave, early birds can secure their passes for the special price of AED 350. Our advice? Move fast. This is not the kind of event where you wait for the lineup to drop; the experience itself is the headliner.
Sole DXB returns to its home at the Dubai Design District (d3) from 12th to 14th December, transforming the creative hub into a three-day universe of progressive music, insightful talks, competitive basketball tournaments, and unparalleled access to a curated collection of exclusive brands. This is not a shopping mall pop-up; it’s a global bazaar of what’s next.

Over the past decade, SOLE DXB has meticulously built its reputation as the region’s definitive reference for global culture. It’s where international icons and regional breakthrough artists share the same energy. The 2024 edition alone featured the transcendent sounds of GRAMMY® Award-winner James Blake, the afrobeats sensation Tems, and the raw energy of Atlanta’s J.I.D. They followed in the footsteps of legends like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and Stormzy, proving that the festival’s curation is always a masterclass in taste.
SOLE DXB’s Main Stage headliners are finally revealed for this year – setting the bar astronomically high with an internationally acclaimed line-up. Three Grammy award-winning artists are set to perform: Haitian-born, Montreal-based DJ and Producer Kaytranada on Friday, 12th December, followed by South African Tyla on Saturday, 13th December, before American R&B icon Miguel on Sunday, 14th December.
But let’s be clear: this is not just about who’s on stage.
What truly sets SOLE DXB apart and consistently draws the crowd is its ecosystem of brand experiences. This is where fashion, art, and food collide in a series of never-before-seen concepts and product launches. It’s a living mood board, a place to discover the next brand you’ll champion for years to come, all while savoring an expanded food offering that caters to the most discerning palates.
Strategically supported by Visit Dubai and its venue partner, d3—a nucleus for art and design within the TECOM Group—this year’s festival is poised to be its most immersive yet. It promises a journey of discovery, carefully programmed across music, fashion, sport, and food.
Furthermore, its inclusion in the annual Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF), running from 5th December 2025 to 11th January 2026, places it at the heart of a citywide celebration, offering 38 days of entertainment, retail promotions, and raffles.
The presale is your first access point. The skyline is your backdrop. The experience awaits.
