OFFLIMITS Abu Dhabi has postponed its 2026 festival to next year, 2027. The festival made the announcement on its social media platforms on the morning of August 18 2026.

The announcement reads: “OFFLIMITS 2026 has been cancelled. All tickets will be automatically refunded through the original ticketing platform they were purchased from.”

The festival has also instructed that current ticket holders will receive further refund information directly from their original ticketing platform, with the OFFLIMITS team supporting the process where needed.

The festival also stated that it will make a return to Abu Dhabi in 2027. “We look forward to bringing the OFFLIMITS community together again in 2027,” the caption of the post reads.

The announcement comes after OFFLIMITS 2026 rescheduled to November 21 at Yas Island’s Etihad Park.

The 2026 line up was set to feature global pop stars and musicians, with Shakira, the Jonas Brothers, Ne-Yo and Biffy Clyro headlining the festival.

OFFLIMITS is a festival that celebrates music across all genres. The festival’s unique offering is to be more than a one-genre night. The festival built its name on that open format, where pop, rock and R&B sit side by side, and crowds move between sounds without missing a beat.
