Dubai’s most anticipated cultural festival, Sole DXB, is making its way back to the Dubai Design District (d3) from December 12 to 14 for its 13th edition — promising another immersive weekend of music, fashion, streetwear, and art.
Now a staple in Dubai’s annual events calendar, the three-day festival has evolved into a global destination for creatives and trendsetters. This year, it once again aligns with the Dubai Shopping Festival, running from December 5, 2025 to January 11, 2026, further amplifying its reach through citywide promotions and celebrations.
While the headliners for 2025 are still under wraps, past editions have seen unforgettable performances by Grammy-winner James Blake, Afrobeats icon Tems, and Atlanta rapper J.I.D, as well as cultural pioneers like Wu-Tang Clan and Nas.
Beyond the stage, Sole DXB is known for its unique blend of curated brand activations, panel talks, sneaker culture, sports tournaments, and a greatly expanded food village. Global and regional brands continue to use the festival as a platform to unveil exclusive collections and first-look drops.
The event is supported by Visit Dubai and hosted at the cutting-edge creative district d3, part of the TECOM Group PJSC. This year’s edition promises a dynamic lineup of experiences designed to surprise and inspire attendees.
Presale tickets go live on September 17 at platinumlist.com/soledxb, with early birds encouraged to secure their passes in advance.
