Dubai Metro to Host Weeklong Music Festival Across Five Stations

The Dubai Metro Music Festival is set to transform five key metro stations into vibrant cultural stages, beginning September 21 and running until September 27. Organized by Brand Dubai and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), the festival will feature 20 musicians from diverse backgrounds. The performances, which include a range of instruments like the Qanun, piano, and homemade instruments, will captivate commuters at The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, BurJuman, Union, and DMCC stations.

This year’s lineup includes a nine-year-old musical prodigy, a 14-year-old pianist with autism, and various avant-garde performances featuring recycled instruments. The event, held in open public spaces at the stations, aims to enrich the commuter experience through music that spans genres from classical to contemporary. Each evening, performances will rotate between the five stations from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., ensuring a unique atmosphere for attendees across the city.
