Al Ain will be a hub of music next month with two festivals running simultaneously.

The Al Ain Music Festival returns for its second edition on October 31. The three-week event will feature local and international artists and a wide variety of musical styles, ranging from rock and blues to folk and classical.

A more competitive atmosphere can be found in the Al Ain Festival Competition: The Gardens of Sheikh Zayed, which runs from November 11 to 16.

Organised by the Elite Music Institute in collaboration with the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Culture, Youth and Community Development, the event will also feature guest performances by international artists.
