In the Park 2026 in Dubai

In the Park in Dubai brings live music, pub grub, premium drinks and a busy family zone to Dubai Media City Amphitheatre on Sunday 8 November 2026. Doors open at 2pm, and the festival runs through the afternoon and into the evening, so you can settle in for as much or as little of it as you like.

It is an easy-going outdoor day out with something for everyone in the group: a stage for the music lovers, a garden to relax in, a proper British pub food area and plenty to keep children busy. Passes are booked through Platinumlist, so grab yours early and plan who is coming.

About In the Park in Dubai

In the Park is a celebration of three simple things: great food, premium drinks and live music. The organisers describe a lineup of artists alongside activity right across the site, with some brand new areas and features added for this edition.

The biggest addition is the new Solutions presents part of the site. It brings together an acoustic stage, a garden space and a dedicated family and fun zone, which means the festival works just as well for a group of friends as it does for parents with little ones in tow.

Platinumlist lists it under music festivals, with tags for concerts, festivals, family days and parties. That mix sums up the feel nicely: relaxed, sociable and built around spending a long afternoon outdoors with good company.

What to Expect

Think of the day as a series of areas you can drift between rather than one fixed programme. Here is what the site includes.

The Jim Beam x Lock Stock Acoustic Stage

Part of the new Solutions presents area, the acoustic stage is where the live music sits. Specific artists have not been named on the event page yet, so keep an eye on the listing if you want to know who is playing before you go.

The Garden

The Garden is another new space within the Solutions presents section. It is a natural spot to regroup with friends, find your crew between sets or take a breather when the afternoon gets busy.

The Hills Family and Fun Zone

Families get their own corner of the festival. The Hills Family and Fun Zone comes complete with inflatables, interactive activities, games and special guest entertainers, plus family-friendly food and drinks options. If you are bringing children, this is likely to be your base for a good chunk of the day.

The Best of British Area

Food fans should head here. The Best of British Area is all about classic pub grub, and the organisers promise to showcase the best pub grub in town.

Drinks Partners and Pop-Up Bars

Expect activations and pop-up bars from a range of drinks partners, including Goose Island, Hendrick’s and Guinness, with more names to come.

Who It Is For

In the Park suits a wide crowd. Groups of friends will enjoy the music, the bars and the long, sociable afternoon. Parents get a festival they can actually bring the children to, with a whole zone designed for younger guests. And anyone missing a proper British pub lunch will find plenty to like in the food area.

Because doors open at 2pm and the day runs into the evening, it is easy to fit around a Sunday. Families might come early and make the most of the fun zone, while others may prefer to arrive later and stay for the evening.

The Venue: Dubai Media City Amphitheatre

The festival takes place at Dubai Media City Amphitheatre in Media City, Dubai. Getting there is straightforward:

• By car from Dubai Marina: head southwest on King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street, continue straight onto Al Sufouh Road and stay on it until you reach Dubai Media City.
• By Metro: take the Red Line to Dubai Internet City Metro Station.
• By taxi: taxis and ride-hailing apps can drop you off from anywhere in Dubai.

Visitor Tips

• Book your pass in advance: passes are issued through Platinumlist, so sort yours out before the day.
• Can’t make it? Platinumlist notes that tickets can be exchanged with another fan if your plans change.
• Take the Metro if you are drinking: Dubai Internet City station on the Red Line is the handy option, or book a taxi home.
• Plan the family day: if you are bringing children, arrive earlier in the afternoon to make the most of the Hills Family and Fun Zone.
• Check the lineup: artists had not been announced at the time of writing, so revisit the listing closer to the date.
