K-LOUD brings the K-EXPO UAE finale to the Main Stage at Global Village on Sunday, 16 November 2025, with performances scheduled from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Organisers list a star lineup featuring CHEN, PUNCH, Billlie, Kim Ju Wang, and a local cover crew to close the weekend. Crowds are expected to build from sunset as fans queue for premium viewing zones. Arrive early for security and the best sightlines.
Date and schedule
Gates open in the late afternoon, yet the main program begins at 7:00 PM and runs through 10:00 PM. Because fan traffic ramps up quickly, you should plan to be inside the arena well before showtime. Meanwhile, stage changes and ensemble numbers keep the pace tight between sets. Early entry reduces waiting and improves your view.
Lineup and performances
Expect polished vocals from CHEN, soundtrack favorites from PUNCH, and high-energy choreography from Billlie. Kim Ju Wang adds live ballads, while a UAE K-pop dance crew brings local flair between transitions. The production leans on synchronized lighting and large-screen visuals to serve a family audience. However, speakers near the barricade can be intense for small children. Not suitable for toddlers close to the front.
Entry and ticketing
There is no separate concert ticket beyond standard Global Village entry. Gate prices are approximately AED 25–30 per person, and children follow the venue’s usual categories. Because weekend demand remains high, purchase or activate entry early to avoid late queues. No extra concert fee applies.
Venue and access
Global Village sits off Exit 37, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (phone: +971 4 362 4114). You can enter through the main gates and follow signage to the Main Stage plaza. General parking spans multiple free zones, with paid options closer to the entrance. Premium and P6 parking are paid zones.
Reaching the show from nearby Emirates
From Sharjah or Ajman, leave between 5:15 PM and 5:45 PM to reach by 6:30 PM in typical Sunday traffic. From Abu Dhabi, allow 90 minutes via E11 and aim to arrive before 6:30 PM for a calmer entry. After the show, ride-hailing pickups work best if you designate a meet point away from the busiest gate. Build a 20–30 minute buffer each way.
Public transport options
Seasonal RTA buses 102, 103, 104, and 106 connect major hubs to Global Village through the evening. Since there is no Metro station on-site, combine Metro with those buses or use a short taxi hop from the nearest station. Plan your route in advance because post-show queues can extend waiting times. Confirm bus timings before you leave.
On-site comfort and suitability
Global Village is designed for families, couples, and solo fans, with wide concourses and abundant food stalls (family-friendly, suitable for couples, solo). Bring light ear protection for kids if you plan to stand near the speakers. Additionally, cashless payments dominate across kiosks and vendors. Carry a small power bank for your phone.
What to wear and bring?
Dress for warm evenings: breathable fabrics, comfortable sneakers, and a light layer for late night. A compact cross-body bag, sunscreen for dusk, and a refillable bottle help you stay comfortable. Finally, keep original ID handy if requested at the gate. Travel light to move faster through checks.
Warnings and tips
Dubai’s Sunday evening forecast points to about 28 °C at 7:00 PM, easing toward 26 °C by 10:00 PM, with clear skies and light breezes. Therefore, arrive before sunset, hydrate steadily, and pace your snacks to avoid queues during changeovers. Traffic around Exit 37 typically peaks from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM; general parking is free, but premium zones charge, and walking distances vary by lot. RTA buses 102, 103, 104, and 106 remain useful for both arrival and return. Ticket and on-site prices are approximately and may change on short notice. Arrive before 6:30 PM to secure a good spot.
According to information regularly compiled by the editors at www.few.ae, fans who enter by sunset, choose a meet-up point away from the main gate, and pre-plan their ride-home window enjoy the smoothest experience from first act to closing track.
