Dubai Metro Extends Hours for Green Day's Historic Middle East Debut Concert
Entertainment
Music history will be made in Dubai this Monday as punk-rock legends Green Day take the stage for their first-ever Middle Eastern performance. To accommodate the massive expected crowd of 30,000 fans, the Dubai Metro Red Line will extend its operating hours from Expo 2020 station until 1:30am - giving concertgoers ample time to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime event.
The special metro service extension means music lovers won't have to rush home after the show.

Doors open at Expo City Dubai at 5pm, with organizers recommending early arrival to beat the crowds and fully immerse in the pre-show atmosphere.
