OFFLIMITS Lineup — Festival Program & Stages
Open-format program for one festival day
An overview of how the OFFLIMITS program is built at Etihad Park — the confirmed acts, stages and set times are on the event pages.
Lineup
Open-Format Bill
A program that crosses genres rather than settling on one, so the festival mixes different styles of live music across the site.
One Festival Day
The festival runs on November 21, from the afternoon into the evening, programmed as one continuous open-format experience.
Multiple Stages
Sets are spread across the festival ground, so your ticket lets you move between performances rather than one fixed show.
Rolling Announcements
The program is announced and updated as the festival approaches; new details appear on the event page as they are confirmed.
Ticket Categories
Access is released by category for the festival day, so you can choose the level that suits you, from general admission to premium areas.
Set Times on Event Pages
The running order and set times are confirmed for the day; the event page carries the timings that apply once they are released.
How the OFFLIMITS Program Is Built
The OFFLIMITS program is put together as an open-format bill, which means the running order deliberately spans styles instead of committing to a single genre. Across the festival day, live sets are scheduled so that the programme reads as one varied experience rather than a single-genre bill.
Because the festival is staged at Etihad Park on Yas Island, the program uses the outdoor ground's space to spread performances across the site. That layout lets audiences move between sets over the course of the day rather than staying fixed to one stage for a single headline show.
What to Expect on the Festival Day
The OFFLIMITS day runs from the afternoon into the evening, with the balance of the bill shifting as the night goes on. Earlier slots tend to open proceedings, and the program builds toward its later performances once Abu Dhabi's evening cools and the open-air site comes into its own.
The open-format approach means the day moves between contrasting acts, so festival-goers often plan around several performances rather than one. Set times and the running order are confirmed and published on the event page as the schedule is released.
Finding Confirmed Acts and Set Times
This page describes how the program works rather than listing a fixed line-up, because the confirmed acts and set times are announced on a rolling basis. The live listing on OFFLIMITS shows whether the festival is currently on sale and which access categories apply.
