MetaMoon lineup
Singer-songwriter-actor Henry Lau and Korea’s viral singer-rapper Lee Young Ji will headline the inaugural event.
The lineup brings together artists across different genres, including rising Japanese-American pop singer-songwriter mikah, and Red Bull Dance Your Style champion MT Pop, and DJ Poon.
Rapper and comedian MC Jin, who participated in the 2022 and 2023 MetaMoon events, is confirmed to host the UAE music festival promoted and produced by Live Nation Middle East.
Dubai is MetaMoon’s first overseas iteration, three years after debuting in New York City.
“Our partnership with Live Nation Middle East to bring MetaMoon to Dubai signifies our commitment to introducing Asian artists and pop culture to new fans while giving existing fans a chance to see their favorite artists live,” said MetaMoon Founder Grace Chen in a statement. “We are excited to be debuting an incredible lineup of Asian talent for their first appearances ever in the region and for what will be an entertaining evening for fans.”

MetaMoon aims to “bring a full fan experience to audiences in the Middle East in the coming years” due to increased interest in Asian pop culture and a growing Asian diaspora in the region. “The UAE is a vibrant and diverse region, and this event is a perfect reflection of the incredible cultural exchange we aim to foster through music and entertainment,” said Live Nation Middle East President James Craven.
