Dubai Metro Music Festival adds tunes to your travel
Twenty performers come to five metro stations.
The daily commute is about to get musical. Dubai Music Festival brings together more than 20 musicians and turns the city’s humble Metro stations into a stage. Running from 6 to 12 March, here’s how you can add a Do-Re-Mi to your journey.
Now in its third year, Dubai Music Festival is organised by the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO) and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). This year’s theme is sustainability, which fits with the UAE’s announcement of 2023 as the Year of Sustainability.

The performances take place from 4pm to 10pm at the following metro stations: Burjuman, Dubai Financial Centre, Mall of the Emirates, Sobha Realty and Union. The festival showcases acoustic, string, percussion and wind instruments. Plus, fitting with the theme and proving that anything can be turned into an instrument, there will be performers making music from recycled objects.
Shaima Al Suwaidi, Director of Brand Dubai, explains: “We are excited to launch the third edition of the Dubai Metro Music Festival, which will bring together a mix of traditional and experimental musicians, classical instrumentalists and fusion musicians to entertain Dubai’s cosmopolitan community.
“One of the key highlights of the ongoing Dubai Destinations campaign, focused on showcasing the exceptional experiences, events and activities of #DubaiArtSeason, the festival reflects the city’s emergence as an international cultural hub. The event also further raises Dubai’s profile as one of the world’s best places to live and visit.”
Thank you for the music.
