WATERBOMB HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED RIGHT HERE IN DUBAI.

The only festival where megastars and essentially a giant water fight collide expect a main stage that spans over 60 meters in length, and uses more than 1,500 m2 of LED it’s the water FX system that really sets WATERBOMB apart from your typical ‘musical festival’.

With over 40 high-pressure water cannons exploding 30 meters into the sky you can expect a high-energy crowd all day long – ready and waiting to take part in the water battle at any given instruction from the megastar on stage; that’s if it’s your teams turn of course!

Add to that pyros, lasers, and everything in between and there’s some seriously (safe) mischief to be had by all.

Expect stars like DJ Snake, master of electronic anthems; Danny Neville, renowned DJ, and producer; Benny Benassi, pioneer of house music; Nicky Romero, EDM sensation; Jessi, known for her fierce and dynamic K-Pop performances; Chaelin, representing vibrant HIP-HOP; Triple S, blending unique EDM beats; and Simon Dominic, captivating with his distinctive style.

June 7th and 8th. The WaterFront – Dubai Festival City.

 

The backstory of WATERBOMB Festival

The “WATERBOMB Festival” is the only festival where megastars and water collides. Created by the South Korean organisers, Drip Bros, back in 2015 – it stems from the popular children’s game of filling balloons with water and throwing them with friends; a tradition still played across the world today. 

 

Known for its amazing line-up of incredible hip-hop artists and renowned EDM DJs, WATERBOMB Festival is THE water event of the year.

 

Expect a main stage that spans over 60 meters in length, uses more than 1,500 m2 of LED, and a water FX system which really sets WATERBOMB apart from other music festivals.

 

With over 40 high-pressured water cannons exploding 30 meters into the sky every 30 minutes, it amplifies the high energy festival experience - as everyone is ready to gooooooo!

 

Add pyros, lasers and everything in between and there’s some serious fun to be had by all at the WATERBOMB Festival. 

 

Superstars from the world of K-Pop, HIP-HOP and EDM will amp up the crowds throughout the event - with epic sets and hosting water battle courtesy of this not to be missed festival.

 

What is the event format

The WATERBOMB Festival is famous for its electrifying line-up of incredible hip-hop artists and EDM DJs. Bringing the party to life with fun costumes and out of this world performances, WATERBOMB Festival Dubai will welcome an unforgettable mix of local, regional and international talent in addition to Korean megastars.

 

However, the artists are no match for the main attraction: THE WATER FIGHT! Every 30 minutes there will be an epic competition, with the orange team against the purple team, splashing it out for three minutes with their water distributors of choice. After, it will feel like you’ve jumped into the deep end of a swimming pool - we promise there will not be a dry person to be found!

 

Think water cannons, water sprayers, refreshing blasts and a purely magical day of epic fun. All you have to do is bring your water pistols, waterproof phone cases, high energy and prepare to get soaked!

 

Could there be a more perfect way to escape from the summer heat??

Top tips for enjoying the event

 

  • Participating in the WATERBOMB Festival is like jumping into the deep end of a swimming pool. You should bring a swimsuit, a rash guard, beachwear, or clothing that is suitable for getting wet in any form. The event dress code is casual so choose whatever you feel most comfortable in so you can enjoy the event to the max!

  • There are lockers (available on a first come, first served basis) and changing rooms at the WATERBOMB festival however, it’s a good idea to bring a waterproof bag, since everything you have might get wet, including phones.

  • Waterproof phone holders are definitely recommended.

  • Flip flops and slippers can become slippery and dangerous during the event, so it’s a good idea to wear shoes that can’t come off so easily and you are happy to get wet, such as aqua shoes or trainers.

  • WATERBOMB Festival has a variety of merchandise on sale should you forget anything, including water pistols, sunglasses, water goggles, hair bands, rash guards, and other items.

  • You don't have to bring a water pistol - but you will be missing out on some of the fun.

  • As a participant in the WATERBOMB Festival, you have to be ready to get soaked and take on the challenge against the other coloured team - are you ready??
