Dubai K-Fest will not go ahead this weekend, the festival's organisers have confirmed, following the announcement of an official mourning period in Dubai.

Why the festival has been postponed Sheikh Ahmed…
Dubai K-Fest has been postponed indefinitely due to an official mourning period declared for Sheikh Ahmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The festival, which was scheduled to take place from September 25 to October 4, will now see its opening concert headlined by K-pop soloist Kwon Eunbi and boy band ONEUS rescheduled. The 10-day mourning period began on Monday and includes lowering flags to half-mast across the emirate of Dubai.
Sheikh Ahmed, the younger brother of UAE's Vice President and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, passed away earlier this week at the age of 76. The festival organizers announced that new dates will be announced at a later date, but have not confirmed whether the remaining K-Fest events planned into early October will also be moved.
Fans are advised to monitor official K-Fest and Dubai Festival City Mall channels for updates before making travel plans.
