Sole DXB for a festival with two stages and different sounds

Sole DXB runs 11–13 December at The Square, Nad Al Sheba. Think of it as a multi-genre festival that gives electronic sets room on the bill. Overmono are billed live on Friday and Nia Archives brings jungle to the Main Stage on Saturday. Saturday also lists Matthew Herbert on Stage Two. You can change stages on the same visit or come back for a different style on another day. Wait for the timetable if you need to know whether two same-day sets fit. Sole DXB lineup and stages

The organiser’s three-day AED 595 General Admission covers both stages. Its ticket page still says single-day tickets will be released soon, but the authorised selector displayed Second Wave one-day GA at AED 325 on Friday or Sunday and AED 375 on Saturday on 9 November. If you want only Friday’s live set, that day pass was AED 270 less than the three-day pass. If you want Friday and Saturday, the two separate days total AED 700, or AED 105 more than the three-day pass. Compare the prices and dates in your basket before buying, because wave pricing can change. Sole DXB pass descriptions · Authorised Sole DXB ticket selector

For late sets, the site is 16+ after 8 pm, and some areas are 21+. A pass that includes both stages can suit friends who split briefly and meet for a later set. Pick a meeting place everyone can enter and check the timetable when it comes out. The organiser’s carousel explains the pass categories. Use the live selector for prices and the ticket terms for age and viewing access. Sole DXB pass terms · Official festival pass carousel

Argy presents NEWORLD · A New Year’s Eve built around one stage

Argy brings NEWORLD to Ushuaïa Dubai Harbour Experience on 31 December. The venue bills it as an audiovisual production and lists Chloé Caillet, Hardt Antoine and Solance alongside him. If your group wants to spend the countdown on a dance floor with a large visual show, this is the one-night booking. The venue’s season poster lists Argy’s date, and the exact event page gives the full bill. Ushuaïa’s NEWORLD programme · Ushuaïa season announcement

The seller lists 7 pm doors and 21+ admission. Its live selector showed AED 150 early-entry standing with entry before 10 pm, AED 195 regular standing and AED 750 VIP standing. A pair of early-entry tickets comes to AED 300 versus AED 390 for a pair of regular tickets, before any fees. The extra AED 90 for two is the price difference to consider if dinner or the journey could run past the early-entry window. Check any general last admission separately. VIP standing is still a standing category, and the venue has a different booking route for tables. NEWORLD live ticket selector · Ushuaïa table and show booking

Argy’s production is as much about what you can see across the stage as how close you are to the booth. If you go for the visuals, look for an angle that lets you take in the full display. His release Aria is a listening sample on the seller page. The venue names all four acts but leaves their set times unpublished in the checked listing. Give the group enough time to get to Dubai Harbour and through the entrance before the deadline on your own ticket. NEWORLD programme · Artist previews and ticket rules

Bring an original Emirates ID or passport. The seller lists no re-entry and prohibits photography and videography. It publishes dress restrictions on flip-flops, local attire and hijabs. Check with the venue before paying if these terms affect your group. Agree on a meeting point before scanning in and a different pickup point after the show. NEWORLD admission and venue rules

UNTOLD Dubai · Book the March dates around what’s confirmed

UNTOLD Dubai is now scheduled for 19–21 March 2027 at Dubai Parks and Resorts. The organiser’s date-change reel says existing tickets remain valid and that further information will go directly to ticket holders. If you bought for the earlier dates, check your order and the organiser’s email before buying a second pass. Use the March dates when coordinating travel. UNTOLD Dubai official dates and passes · UNTOLD’s rescheduling announcement

The organiser’s product page lists three-day general admission at AED 350 and three-day VIP at AED 900 for 19–21 March. Two passes would be AED 700 or AED 1,800 at those listed prices. A separate site banner says passes start at AED 590, so use the price attached to the product in your checkout before committing. The organiser’s FAQ confirms that existing tickets transfer automatically. If your group is booking for a specific DJ, wait for the new lineup and day splits. If the weekend itself is the draw, agree which dates everyone can use and how you’ll get home from Dubai Parks and Resorts. UNTOLD’s exact pass products · UNTOLD’s date-change FAQ

Check in and collect the right wristband

UNTOLD’s March terms require ticket holders to check in and collect a non-transferable wristband. Check-in can be done online or at the site. The published terms list 4 pm to 2 am for on-site check-in and wristband collection, and 3 am last admission with a valid wristband, subject to schedule updates. The pass product also displays 6 pm. Use the organiser’s final arrival instructions for your day rather than treating the product time as the start of the first set. UNTOLD March festival terms · UNTOLD pass products

The March terms require parental consent and supervision for under-16s, with an adult aged at least 21 if the adult is accompanying them in place of a parent or guardian. They also require parental consent for 16- and 17-year-olds, and reserve some areas for guests aged 21 and over. Check the age and ID rules for the product you want, particularly if your group includes younger festivalgoers or is considering VIP. UNTOLD March age and check-in terms

Pick the format your group will actually use

Put the countdown and the travel deadline on the same plan

At NEWORLD, decide how much of the four-artist bill you want to hear. A group going for the whole production can plan to arrive soon after the published doors. If Argy is the only must-see act, get his set time before treating a late arrival as a sure thing. The AED 150 ticket comes with a specific early-entry deadline. The AED 195 regular standing ticket costs AED 45 more per person at the checked rates. Confirm the last admission that applies to regular entry before relying on a later dinner. NEWORLD programme · NEWORLD ticket and venue terms

If one friend wants to go straight to the Harbour and another is coming after dinner, compare their likely time at the gate. Two people can choose different standing prices if their plans differ, provided the categories give them the shared access they want. At the checked rates, one early-entry ticket and one regular ticket total AED 345. If you would rather walk in together, choose a time both people can reach and agree on a pickup location before scanning in. NEWORLD selector · NEWORLD access terms

For several visits check what you already know about the bill

Sole’s published day split lets you earmark Friday or Saturday now. You can decide whether the acts make two visits worthwhile while leaving the order of the night open. If Saturday is your only free date, make that the first filter. On 9 November the Saturday GA pass alone was AED 220 less than the three-day pass. If you have two must-see names on different stages that day, leave your plan loose until there are actual set times. A stage assignment tells you where to go. It gives you no guarantee that you can hear both sets end to end. Sole DXB lineup · Sole DXB ticket release information

At UNTOLD, the early decision is whether to commit to 19–21 March at Dubai Parks and Resorts before the artist days are clear. If you can only go for one night or would travel for a particular DJ, wait for information that answers that question. If you can use several days and the festival itself is the reason to go, compare the pass price you see in your basket and plan a trip for each day you’ll actually attend. If you will come for only one set and cannot verify the day, the advance price is a poor basis for booking travel. If you can use two days, the AED 350 listed GA pass comes to AED 175 per planned visit before fees and transport. The actual product is still a single three-day pass. Existing ticket holders should check the transfer details first. UNTOLD pass products · UNTOLD ticket transfer FAQ

Separate check-in from the last entry

If a late shift ends at 2:15 am during UNTOLD, the published on-site wristband collection window has already closed. A person who has already collected a valid wristband still has 45 minutes before the listed 3 am last admission, including the trip to the entrance. Someone who still needs to pick up a wristband should ask the organiser what options remain before travelling. The March terms distinguish check-in and wristband collection from admission, and the organiser can publish updated hours for the festival. UNTOLD March access terms

For Sole, choose a day first if your group only wants one artist. A pair going on Saturday would pay AED 750 for two one-day GA tickets at the checked prices. Two three-day passes would be AED 1,190. That difference buys the option of returning on other days. If you already know you want both Friday and Saturday, compare the three-day price while it still covers both at a lower total than two day tickets each. Then use the announced stages to choose where to spend each visit. Sole DXB stage programme · Sole DXB pass selector

Set one shared plan before buying

Check the youngest person’s access for the time you expect to stay. NEWORLD lists 21+, Sole’s site switches to 16+ after 8 pm, and UNTOLD’s published March terms describe consent or supervision requirements for younger guests. If the group can all enter, check the next restriction that could split you up, such as a timed ticket or an age-restricted viewing area. Then compare the actual access you’re buying. A standing upgrade, a multi-day pass and an early-entry ticket solve three different problems. Pick the one that fits the night you’ve agreed to spend together.
