Sole DXB 2025 Events & Highlights
What is Sole DXB?
Sole DXB is a full-on cultural festival. Over the years, it’s become one of the standout dates in Dubai’s calendar, and this year it will once again be part of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF).
Last year’s edition showed us just how high the bar has been set, with a lineup that included James Blake, Tems, The Joy, Nooriyah, J.I.D, and emerging artists like Hev Abi and TUL8TE. The 2025 headliners has been announced, but if history is anything to go by, expect something big.
But it isn’t only the music that makes Sole DXB special. What really sets it apart is the way brands and creators use the festival as a stage to experiment. From exclusive sneaker drops to first-look fashion collabs and new dining concepts, visitors get access to ideas and products that often debut at Sole DXB before anywhere else. It’s that sense of discovery, paired with the block-party energy, that keeps people coming back year after year.
