Ed Sheeran is coming to Abu Dhabi

Just thinking out loud that it would be so perfect to see Ed Sheeran in concert. The good news is he is coming to the UAE, which means we can go do just that. The Shape of You singer will be headlining the first Off Limits Music Festival on Yas Island.

Besides Sheeran, there’ll be a number of stars - both local and international – taking to the stage. (Stay tuned for updates on the line-up). The 12-hour fest will kick off at 2pm and have you jiving until the early hours.

The gig, which will take place at Etihad Park on April 26, is an ‘open-format’ festival, so you can groove to rock or pop or electronic or hip-hop.

Sold on idea of getting yourself a seat? Pre-sale registrations are open now; the tickets go on sale on December 6 at 11am. The general ticket sale will begin on December 7 at 11am.

Tickets are only available via Platinumlist.net. A person can only buy six tickets per show.
