Gulf Bike Week moves to Dubai Autodrome for 2015

Popular al fresco festival Gulf Bike Week will return in 2015, with dates now set for October 22-24.

However the three-day happening will move to a new home at Dubai Autodrome, following recent family friendly events in Media City.

As anyone who’s been before will know, Gulf Bike Week is about far more than bikes. Sure, there’s live stunts, product displays and mountains of leather — but for casual fans it’s all about the rocking programme of live music.

Carrying on the theme of the past two years, the 2015 edition promises to focus on local bands, touting a mix of “radio-rock, indie, blues, acoustic”.

Earlier editions of the festival, hosted at Dubai Festival City, were headlined by huge international stars including Deep Purple, Megadeth, and one of Amy Winehouse’s final gigs.
