Fodor's Expert Review Amphitheatre at DMC

With a capacity of 15,000, open spaces, and natural sloping greens, this is one of Dubai's most popular arenas for festivals and live music. Media City Amphitheatre hosts some huge mainstream acts (e.g. Ed Sheeran, Kanye West, and David Guetta) and is the home of recurring festivals like the Dubai Jazz Festival, Taste of Dubai, and Redfest DXB. The venue is licensed to serve alcohol, usually admits all ages, and is outfitted with an ATM, toilets, and food trucks. Most events also have VIP tickets available (with food and beverage packages, priority viewing and private lounge areas).
