Amapiano and Afrobeats fans this way – AfroBiano is on its way back to Abu Dhabi
Clear your calendars. Yas Beach is about to turn into the capital's hottest dancefloor as AfroBiano Fest returns for a third season on Saturday November 1 – and if last year's scenes were anything to go by, it's going to be unmissable.
Born from the booming global love affair with Afrobeats and Amapiano, AfroBiano isn't just another music festival – it's an all-day, all-out celebration of African sound, style and culture.
Think sun-drenched sets from international DJs, live dancers kicking up sand to irresistible rhythms and a crowd that's there purely for the vibe (see ya there folks).
Louder, bolder, and hotter than ever 🔥
The biggest Afrobeats and Amapiano energy is landing at @YasBeach Abu Dhabi and trust us, it's not just a party it's an experience 🎶🌴
Book your tickets now at #AfrobianoFest #InAbudhabi — Yas Island جزيرة ياس (@yasisland) August 11, 2025
The line-up will blend the high-energy pulse of Afrobeats with the laid-back groove of Amapiano, all set against the backdrop of Yas Beach's golden shoreline.
Between sets, you'll be able to refuel with African-inspired street food and ice-cold drinks, or just sink your toes into the sand and take in the atmosphere as the sun drops and the lights come up.
It's 21+ only and the dress code is as free as the music – but beachwear is the smart choice if you're planning to move from day into night without missing a beat.
From Dhs150. Sat Nov 1, from 3pm. Yas Beach.
