Bryson Tiller opened the weekend on Friday. Tonight is West London’s turn.
Central Cee is in Abu Dhabi this weekend. The West London rapper is billed to headline BREDx at Etihad Live, formerly Etihad Park, on Saturday 14 November. It’s the second night of the two-day festival, with Bryson Tiller booked for Friday 13 November.
When the line-up was announced, Aletihad reported that both artists would be making their debut in the UAE capital.
BREDx is more than a gig. What’s On says the weekend mixes music, fashion, art, sport and food. It includes the Red Bull Half Court National Finals, a 3v3 streetball contest, drops from more than 30 local and regional brands and a photography exhibition. Tickets started at Dhs195.
Big rap names have played it before. Aletihad lists past acts including Offset, Metro Boomin, Gunna, Giggs and Dave East.
We’ll update this once the set has happened. Until then, this is what’s on the official schedule.
