BREDx brings Central Cee and Bryson Tiller to Etihad Live on 14 November

BREDx, the November edition of Abu Dhabi's BRED festival of music, fashion and street culture, takes over Etihad Live on Yas Island this Friday and Saturday, 13 and 14 November. Saturday is the big night: UK rapper Central Cee and American R&B singer Bryson Tiller headline the main stage.

The festival was first due to run in April and was moved to November, and organisers describe this edition as a "neo-culture experience". Each night runs from 5pm until 3am at Etihad Live, the arena space next to Etihad Arena.

Friday is built around artists from the Arab world. The ticket page lists Lege-Cy, Shkoon, Bu Kolthoum, Nooriyah, Zaid Khaled, AYA System, Saud G, Tayeb Santo, Busaleh and Hussob. Bu Kolthoum is a Syrian rapper, Zaid Khaled a Jordanian-Palestinian singer, and Shkoon mix Arabic folk songs with electronic music, so Friday is the night for anyone who follows the region's own scene.

On Saturday, Central Cee and Bryson Tiller share the bill with Egyptian pop singer Nasser on the AMP Stage, and Nadine El Roubi, Nuff Said and NXT LVL also appear in the line-up. For many fans it is a rare chance to see the two headliners in the region on the same night.

Tickets are on Platinumlist. Friday starts from Dh195 and Saturday from Dh295, with higher tiers closer to the stage. The festival is for ages 14 and over only: children under 14 are not let in, and anyone aged 14 to 16 must come with an adult aged 18 or over, with no more than four teenagers per adult. Staff may check ID at the door, so bring an Emirates ID or passport. Etihad Live is on Yas Island, about an hour's drive from central Dubai; plan the trip back, because the music runs until 3am.
