DoByAbu Dhabi will host the debut of UNIFYD, a festival curated by Shah Rukh Khan, on 20 March 2027 at Etihad Live on Yas Island. Organisers have now announced more than a dozen additional performers. General ticket sales open on 20 October at 10.30am UAE time.
Arijit Singh and Karan Aujla were confirmed earlier as headliners. The new names include Jonita, Shalmali Kholgade, Patiala Mehfil, Simran Choudhary, Nooriyah, Curtain Blue, Tech Panda x Kenzani, Rusha & Blizza, Stick No Bills, Priyanka and Unnayanaa. Sonu Nigam will give a special set, which organisers describe as his first festival appearance.
The one-day event will use several stages and bring together more than 15 artists. Khaleej Times reported that the music will span Bollywood, Punjabi, electronic and independent genres.
Tickets are sold only on the District app. An Emirates NBD cardholder presale ran from 9.30am on 19 October until 9.30am on 20 October, UAE time.
D'YAVOL Live and District produce the festival. The Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi and Miral are collaborators, and Emirates NBD is an associate. Organisers have said they plan to take UNIFYD to other cities after this first edition.
Visitors and Dubai residents who plan to attend can look at Abu Dhabi tours for the trip. Gulf News reported the line-up and the sales schedule.
