One of the world’s biggest music festivals is coming to the UAE. Leading DJs are expected to perform at Ultra Abu Dhabi, with the event taking place at Etihad Park on March 4 and 5. Fans can pre-register for tickets from the official website, with prices and the line-up to be revealed soon. According to industry magazine <i>Billboard, </i>the festival will be home to two stages — with one dedicated to more commercial sounds, while the festival’s famed Resistance stage will cater towards house and tech house.
