Tickets for mega music festival Afterlife are now on sale

The electronic music festival makes its debut in the Middle East.

Electronic fans, here’s some news that will be music to your ears. Afterlife will be making its debut in the Middle East. Afterlife Abu Dhabi will take place on 6 December at Yas Gateway Park and has been added to the line-up for the F1 events. 

Afterlife Abu Dhabi will be presented by Live Nation Middle East in partnership with Miral. The mega music festival was created by Carmine Conte and Matteo Milleri, who met in Milan, Italy. The pair bonded over their love of electronic music and formed the music partnership Tale of Us. 

In 2011, they released their debut EP, Dark Song, which showcased their sound of classical deep house and techno. In 2016, they founded the record label Afterlife, and the acts on the label include Argy, Adriatique, Agents of Time, Chris Avantgarde, Kevin de Vries, Innellea, Massano, Mathame, Mind Against, and Stephen Bozdin. 

What is Afterlife Festival?

Today, Afterlife electronic music events can be found around the world, ranging from residences in Ibiza to Tomorrowland. The concerts have taken place in Barcelona, Bucharest, New York, and Tulum. Now, they will be making their mark in Abu Dhabi.

Afterlife Festival is known for its deep, atmospheric music and mind-bending visual installations, providing revellers with a multi-sensory experience designed to take attendees on a transformative journey. A recent activation saw a robot breaking its way out of The Sphere in Las Vegas.

The festival’s visuals are characterised by grand, ethereal, and often surreal imagery. Massive LED screens, synchronised light shows, and intricate laser designs are orchestrated to create a sense of transcendence. These visuals are often abstract, incorporating fluid, organic shapes that move and evolve with the music. At the heart of the visual experience is the signature Afterlife logo, the “falling man,” which is often seen slowly descending across screens, symbolising the festival’s theme of journeying into the unknown.

Tickets for Afterlife Abu Dhabi will be available on 26 August at 6pm. Prices start from AED 295.
