Life’s too short to miss Abu Dhabi’s Amplified Music Festival

With OneRepublic headlining and some of the most popular bands on the line-up, November’s about to get wild.

Rave till your grave could soon be your winter motto, what with 180 days of power-packed entertainment promised in the capital.

This time, it’s the Amplified Music Festival 2022 at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi, that’s got us saving the dates! Turning up the vibes between 11-13 November, the event has it all from live music to the best snacks and beverages to keep your body swaying throughout.

Live Nation, the global entertainment company behind Lollapalooza and Electric Daisy Carnival, has now revealed the headline acts as well, and we’re screaming.

 

11 November – OneRepublic

 

Onerepublic In Abu Dhabi

 

This American pop rock band needs no introduction. Apart from their record-shattering digital sales, airplay records worldwide and Grammy nominations to boot, it’s the diversity of genres that keeps fans hooked. The band’s releases include the 20mm selling smash single Apologize, and more recently, I Ain’t Worried that featured in Top Gun: Maverick.

Headlining one of the biggest music festivals the region’s seen, this is one concert you can’t miss!

 

12 November – Ministry of Sound Disco

13 November – CAS

 

Cas

 

A controversial band name hasn’t stopped this group from skyrocketing to alt-rock fame. Consistently racking up millions of views on YouTube since their debut single Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby, they’ve performed all over the world to sold-out shows. CAS’ last two shows in the UAE, in fact, have had the venues packed to the rafters as well!

It’s certainly going to be an Apocalypse of an event.

For over two decades now, Live Nation has staged the world’s most well-recognised music events. In designing the first edition of Amplified, Live Nation has certainly managed to hand-pick a line-up that will bring a mix of pop rock, funk, soul, and alternative pop to the main stage at Yas Links.

Tickets for Amplified are available from livenation.me on 3 October, Monday from 12pm. This is one musical experience you can’t download.
