Although the festival will showcase some of the biggest international hip hop stars, a platform will also be provided for local artists too.

On the Abu Dhabi debut of Wireless Festival, James Craven, President of Live Nation MENA, said: “With more than 200 nationalities living in the UAE, it is important we constantly track changing music tastes that are reflective of such a diverse population.

“Hip Hop remains one of the most popular genres throughout the region and the launch of Wireless Festival in Abu Dhabi next March will be a huge draw to urban music fans throughout the region.

“The festival will showcase some of the biggest international hip hop stars but will also provide a platform for local artists too.”
