Atlanta star Gunna and UK rapper Nemzzz bring serious heat to BRED Abu Dhabi this April at Yas
BRED Abu Dhabi is gearing up for its return to the capital, and organisers have confirmed two new names for the line-up. US rapper Gunna and rising Manchester star Nemzzz will perform live on April 24, adding fresh firepower to this year’s festival.
From April 22 to 26, Yas Marina Circuit ditches the petrol fumes for street culture and turns into a full-blown playground. Think music, fashion, art, sport, gaming and food all packed into one space. It feels less like a festival and more like a city built by creatives.

Since launching in 2023, BRED has grown into the region’s home for youth expression and Arab talent. It champions the kids with cameras, the designers with sketchbooks, the rappers with something to say. It also pulls in global heavyweights. Previous stages have welcomed Metro Boomin, Nas, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Offset and Cairokee.
The 2026 theme, “The People of Neo-Culture, Today & Tomorrow,” leans into that mix of heritage and hustle. You wander from pop-ups to performances, from sneaker drops to art installations, never quite sure what you’ll find next.
Hungry? Skinny Louie lands with its cult smash burgers, while the neo-gallery showcases striking work from regional photographers.
Wave 1 tickets are already moving fast, with five-day passes from Dhs695. If last year is anything to go by, you’ll want in early. BRED doesn’t just host culture. It feels like culture happening right in front of you
