Earlier today, Dubai-based event promoter 117Live announced that the upcoming music festival, Fiesta de Los Muertos, at the Autism Rocks Arena will be a dry event due to cultural sensitivities.
"We respect the statement made by Al Ahli Holding Group & hope that our fans can appreciate the cultural sensitivities around this decision," the official tweet read.
The music festival is expected to see the legendary British virtual band Gorillaz as well as Hip-hop star Stormzy, singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen, the much-loved Mexican musicians the Mariachis, R&B singer Massari, along with the Dubai-based artists Arcade 82 and Consoul Trainin perform at the event.
Doors will be open from 4 p.m. onwards while the event starts at 6 p.m.
The official announcement was made just hours before the concert and people are absolutely pissed... (pun intended)...
