Butterfly Carnival is back and ready to take over Dubai with its vibrant energy and stunning performances! After a successful debut, the carnival will return to the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on November 8 and 9, 2025 for a weekend packed with music, masquerade, and unforgettable moments.
This year’s carnival is shaping up to be even bigger, with organisers promising high-energy sets from international artists and DJs across two stages and three sound systems. Expect a festival experience like no other, featuring the newly introduced Carnival Street Parade, which will make its way through the event site, adding to the excitement and spectacle.
While the full line-up is still under wraps, last year’s event saw a memorable performance from the King of Dancehall, Beenie Man, along with samba dancers and live bands that brought the spirit of Brazilian and Caribbean street carnivals to Dubai. If you missed the magic last year, you won’t want to miss out this time — keep an eye on the event updates.
Aside from Butterfly Carnival, the city offers even more epic music events this autumn. For electronic music fans, Garage Nation Dubai will bring the energy to Iris, Meydan on September 5. For those looking for something a bit different, Rammstein Symphonic Experience on November 23 will be an unmissable performance that merges rock with orchestral music.
